The XPS One 27 is one of the most rounded all-in-one alternatives in the market. You get a beautiful 27-inch, 2560 x 1440 resolution display, a powerful processor, 1TB+ of storage, a great port selection and GPU power — you’ll get decent gaming performance but it's certainly no powerhouse for that purpose as most AIOs.

PC must be powered on to use its HDMI input and to charge connected USB devices
A new adjustable display support arm is welcome, but stops short of reclining a full 90 degrees
No touch-screen option for Windows 8 upgrades
Mobile-class graphics not up to gaming at the screen's native resolution
Plastic back feels flimsy compared to Apple's aluminum-clad iMac
Boring (but wireless) keyboard and mouse

OK, our first look at the Dell XPS One’s gorgeous display didn’t leave us quite as flabbergasted as astronaut David Bowmanstaring into the monolith at the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey. But the absolutely gorgeous Samsung PLS panel—with its 2560x1440...

While no one at Dell is going to admit it, they do borrow some inspiration from a certain company in Cupertino. The XPS 13 ultrabook is meant to compete with the MacBook Air and the XPS One 27 goes head-to-head against the iMac. That’s obvious enough....

This is hands down the best Windows all-in-one we've used. It doesn't bother with the silliness of touch in a desktop, preferring to deliver an excellently executed experience instead....

This computer got a lot of “oohs” and “ahhs” during the week it sat on my desk in the Wired office. And for good reason: Dell’s flagship all-in-one desktop, the brightest star in its XPS line of performance-minded machines, has got to be one of the...

We don't usually get excited about all-in-one desktop PCs because they're all usually much the same. However, the Dell XPS One 27 has so much going for it, it's hard not to be impressed. From its high resolution, 27in screen, to its 3rd gen Core i7...

There are more 27-inch all-in-one desktops these days, but very few are done right. The Dell XPS One 27 manages to put almost every technology and feature we're looking for in a compact stylish chassis. ...

If you want an all-in-one with a large, beautiful IPS display with a nice resolution of 2560x1440, but don't want to spend an arm and a leg? Then there isn't a whole lot of choice. Apple has the 27-inch iMac, and HP has the even more expensive Z1...

This was my first system review as a whole. It certainly was a learning experience as compared to reviewing individual parts that then go on to make the whole. As such we need to focus on overall design, fit and finish, and functionality. ...
