Which desktop should you choose?

Start with the work you need to do and the space available. A home and office PC suits everyday productivity, an all-in-one combines the computer and display, a mini PC saves desk space, and a workstation is designed for more demanding professional or technical workloads. Always check the individual product listing for its exact processor, memory, storage, graphics, ports, operating system and included accessories.

Match the desktop to your workload

Match the desktop to your workload, with desktop setups for home, business, shared spaces, creative work, technical work and local AI development

The right computer is not simply the one with the largest numbers. Start with your applications, then compare the hardware and connections they require.

Home, study and everyday tasks

Prioritise a balanced processor, enough memory for your usual applications, suitable SSD capacity and the ports needed for your display and accessories.

Business and multitasking

Consider the operating system, memory, storage, wired or wireless networking, monitor support and compatibility with your organisation’s software.

Small desks and shared spaces

Mini PCs reduce the desktop footprint, while all-in-ones combine the screen and computer. Compare service access, upgrade options and included parts by model.

Creative and visual work

Check the recommendations for your editing or design software, including processor, memory, graphics, storage capacity and monitor connections.

Technical and professional work

A workstation may be more suitable when your applications call for specialist graphics, larger memory capacity or validated hardware and software combinations.

Local AI development

Confirm the model, framework, operating environment, processor architecture, GPU or unified memory needs and software support before choosing specialist AI hardware.

AI systems and supercomputers

Do you need an AI PC, workstation or personal AI supercomputer?

The answer depends on where the AI runs and what software, model and framework you intend to use. A single performance figure does not determine whether a system is suitable.

Cloud AI and ordinary productivity

A standard desktop may be enough when the demanding AI processing happens in an online service rather than on the local computer.

Supported local AI features

Check whether the software uses the system’s CPU, GPU or NPU, and confirm the required Windows version, processor architecture and memory.

Model development and specialist workloads

A GPU workstation or personal AI system can be relevant for local models and development, but suitability depends on model size, memory, framework and operating environment.

Desktop FAQs

Questions before you buy

What desktop computer should I buy?

Choose according to your applications, workload and available space. A home and office PC suits general productivity, an all-in-one integrates the display, a mini PC saves space, and a workstation targets more demanding professional or technical work. Compare the exact product specifications before ordering.

What is the difference between a desktop PC and an all-in-one?

A conventional desktop PC is a separate computer that connects to a monitor. An all-in-one integrates the computer into the display. The better choice depends on your space, preferred screen, ports, upgrade needs and the specifications of the individual model.

Is a mini or barebone PC right for me?

A mini PC can suit a space-conscious home or business setup. A barebone system may require memory, storage, an operating system or other parts before use. Read the product listing carefully to confirm exactly what is included.

When should I choose a workstation?

Consider a workstation when your professional, creative, engineering, scientific or other specialist software requires hardware beyond a mainstream desktop. Check the software vendor’s processor, graphics, memory, storage and operating-system requirements before choosing.

Do desktop computers include a monitor, keyboard and mouse?

Inclusions vary by product. A standard desktop may be sold without a monitor, while an all-in-one includes a display. Keyboards, mice, cables and other accessories may or may not be included, so verify the individual product description.

Which desktop specifications should I compare?

Compare the processor, memory, storage, graphics, operating system, wired and wireless networking, display outputs, USB ports, physical size and included accessories. Also confirm that the system meets the requirements of the software and peripherals you plan to use.
