Features of the best desktop computer


What is the best desktop computer? The answer depends on what you plan to do with your PC.

Streaming
For watching movies, TV, and other digital content, the best desktop computer will have extensive connectivity options. You may also want to consider a high-resolution monitor with a larger screen size to provide richer color, deeper contrast, and a more immersive viewing experience. The best desktop computers for streaming will have the latest NVIDIA® GeForce® graphics cards and at least 32GB of memory in a single device, a 2-in-1 gives you fewer gadgets to keep track of. Rather than constantly switching between devices as you watch movies on the sofa, type emails at your desk, or view recipes in the kitchen, you can do everything on a single device. You’ll save money, too. The cost of a 2-in-1 touchscreen laptop is far less than buying a tablet and laptop separately. And you’ll save yourself the headache of having to manage and update multiple devices.

Peak Performance
The best desktops deliver incredible performance that allows you to run a multitude of programs. Because these systems run power-intensive processing, they should also have the ability to regulate temperature with ease. Air needs to be able to run through the systems to manage heat distribution.

Future Proof
The best desktop computers are easily and endlessly expandable. You can seamlessly add sound and graphics cards or increase memory as needed. The best desktops will offer the greatest amount of versatility for upgrading your system over time. Additionally, they should have a wide range of ports and slots to support any accessories that you may use in the future.
