The Dell 24 AIO handled routine productivity without noticeable slowdown in reviewer Dylan Haas’s testing, but he reported difficulty with games and demanding creative applications. His assessment also identified lower measured display brightness than two comparison systems, limited stand adjustment and soft feedback from the bundled keyboard.

The reviewed Windows desktop combined the computer and display in one unit, with a keyboard and mouse included. Haas described a 24-inch FHD touch-screen configuration with built-in speakers and a webcam.

Everyday performance and workload limits

Haas reported no noticeable slowdown while writing, sending email, filling out spreadsheets and browsing with multiple tabs open.

His review listed Geekbench 6 scores of 2,567 for single-core performance and 7,789 for multi-core performance. Both were below the comparison scores listed for the M4 iMac and Lenovo Yoga AIO 27. These measurements describe the tested configuration, rather than every Dell 24 AIO model.

For more demanding workloads, Haas reported that the games tested ran poorly or crashed, and that the system struggled with demanding applications in the Adobe Creative Cloud suite.

Display brightness and color accuracy

Haas reported the following display measurements for the Dell and the two comparison systems:

Measurement Dell 24 AIO Lenovo Yoga AIO 27 M4 iMac
Average brightness 228.8 nits 352.6 nits 450 nits
Delta-E color accuracy 0.22 0.21 0.22

The reported Delta-E results were close across the three systems; lower values indicate greater color accuracy. The Dell’s reported average brightness was lower than either comparison model’s. Haas also described the screen as dim even with the brightness setting raised.

Design and connections

The reviewed white chassis housed the computer behind the display. Haas described a stand with tilt adjustment but no height adjustment or swivel, and said the lack of swivel made rear ports harder to access.

Haas listed five USB ports, HDMI input and output, Ethernet, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a power-adapter connection for the reviewed setup. He reported using the all-in-one’s screen as a second display for his laptop. HDMI output provides a connection for an additional monitor.

Speakers, webcam and keyboard

Haas reported Dolby Atmos support and described clear sound with audible bass from the front-facing speakers. He described the reviewed unit’s webcam as an 8MP model with facial recognition support, and reported clear images during video calls.

The bundled keyboard drew a less favorable assessment. Haas described soft key feedback and said it slowed his typing, while acknowledging that keyboard feel is subjective.
