Best desktop computers for home and office use
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 12, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Top pick: Apple iMac M6. For a home-and-office machine that just works, the all-in-one is the easiest call: a sharp 24-inch 4.5K screen, a fast 10- or 12-core chip and macOS in one tidy box — no monitor or tower to buy separately, and it stays quiet and simple for years.
Who the others suit:
- HP EliteDesk 8 G1i Mini — a tiny, tidy Windows 11 Pro box for a desk with an existing monitor; best for business-style office work.
- Acer Aspire TC-1775 — the straightforward Windows tower for everyday documents, email and browsing.
- Dell 24 All-in-One — if you want the all-in-one layout in Windows rather than macOS.
- Lenovo ThinkCentre M90a Pro (27-inch) — a bigger screen and more memory for heavier multitasking.
- Dell EBT2250 / HP Z2 Mini G1a — step up only if you do design, CAD or other demanding work.
Skip the gaming towers here: they're built for play, not office value.
