ALL-IN-ONE PCS can be a tricksy business. Towers with discrete monitors are generally considered the norm, and any AIO computer draws obvious comparisons to both Apple’s successful iMac range and desktop-replacement Windows laptops. They also have inherent limitations imposed on them by their small, screen-sized form factor; integrated graphics are usually the only option, and physical connectivity frequently takes a hit.
HP’s new AIO, the EliteOne 800 G5, is all business. Costing $1,400 (for our review SKU specifically), this is a professional machine, well-suited to a home office environment. The brushed silver finish is unobtrusive, and the 23.8-inch monitor has a pleasingly small bezel. Being an AIO system, it has a small footprint, with just a weighted metal rectangle as its base, upon which the rotating monitor arm and the screen itself are mounted.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super
LONG AGO, before the reign of the Supers, there was a graphics card. It was bold, gauche, and built with the blood of a Titan, with gaming in mind. Its heart was near identical to the goliath it was born from, yet it lacked the memory, spirit, absolute architectural majesty, and subsequent price tag of its Titanic kin.
