The XPS 27 Touch by Dell is a top performing all-in-one computer that features an impressive screen resolution of 2560 x1440 pixels, a blazing fast processor and plenty of memory and storage. Its 27-inch touch screen display is bright, clear and inviting. The XPS 27 Touch may be big, but it's beautiful and earns our Top Ten Reviews Gold Award for best all-in-one PC.
Dell's XPS 27 Touch looks great. It's massive touchscreen features edge-to-edge glass, and it is bordered by a not-too-thick black bezel. You're able to easily adjust the screen's height and angle to your liking with the XPS' articulating stand. This way you'll be comfortable interacting with the display in all various ways – whether you are swiping using the touch screen or sitting upright typing a document. This touchscreen all-in-one PC also supports 10-finger tracking, so you can use both hands, but it isn't as big of a fingerprint magnet as other all-in-ones.
The screen is sharp but isn't too glossy. Since its display has more pixels than most other all-in-one PCs, colors look fantastic and text is crisp and clear. Directly above the screen is a 2-megapixel webcam, that captures 1080p video, making the computer a good choice if you do a lot of video conferencing.
Performance
You are able to select from three different renditions when configuring the computer online – each is powered by a 4th generation Intel Core processor, they clock in at up to 3.4, 4.0, and 3.9 GHz, respectively.
The lowest-priced model is equipped with the 4th generation Intel Core i5 4460S processor and has a base frequency of 2.9GHz.
The base model only has Intel's integrated graphics, but the more premium models have the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750M graphics card, which has 2GB GDDR5 memory that runs at 941 MHz. If you can afford to upgrade to the more expensive model, you will get more bang for your buck. However, if you do not play graphic intensive games, the integrated Intel graphics will be just fine.
The processor is strong enough for you to juggle multiple applications at the same time. And you can run everyday tasks, like composing documents, watching videos or surfing the internet. If you do upgrade to the more expensive graphics card though, you can be confident that your Dell XPS 27 Touch is one of the best gaming all-in-one desktop computers available.
Underneath the display are the speakers for the computer. The Dell XPS 27 Touch has excellent, clear sound quality. The sound easily fills the room when it's at maximum volume. Dell has also collaborated with Waves to offer enhanced audio on its latest all-in-one. It uses Waves' MaxxAudio software to help improve bass, volume and even enhances dialogue when watching movies.
Memory & Storage
The more-expensive models have 2TB, or twice as much storage as the lowest-tier model. They also include a 32GB solid-state drive, which is used for the boot portion of the computer. However, 1TB is certainly be plenty for most users. Some all-in-one PCs only have 500GB (0.5TB) of storage. You're still be able to store several movies, music, plenty of photos, and all your programs without a problem on the 1TB model.
This personal computer has 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM. Only the most expensive model has 16GB. However, 8GB is plenty adequate for games, running several applications simultaneously or having multiple tabs open in your internet browser.
On the left side of the display is a memory card reader. It supports SDXS, Memory Stick, MultiMediaCard and xD-Picture Card so you're able to transfer files or photos to and from your digital camera or another computer. The lowest-tier computers all have a disk drive for burning CDs and DVDs while the more expensive model offers a Blu-ray player.
