when I say the acronym AI Oh computer most of you out there immediately think of the well-known and very popular iMac but there are actually windows-based AIO pcs out there now you may think yeah I knew that but they're all just boring business computers right well this is where you are wrong and also where the Dell XPS 27 comes in it's a windows-based AIO computer with a quad-core skylake i7 16 gigabytes of ddr4 ram and discrete Radeon m4 85 X graphics all this hardware is housed inside of a gorgeous all aluminum chassis with a dark finish and on the front you'll find a 27 inch 4k IPS touch display this thing is seriously beautiful it's incredibly vibrant and gets fairly bright in terms of color accuracy it's got a fantastic srgb score of one eighty seven percent compared to the 5k IMAX one thirty percent in other tests however it's not that accurate and could use some calibration if you plan on making it your professional photo and video editing machine now as I said before it's a touch display and actually a rather good one I am not entirely sure however how that would be useful in a computer like this I am sure though that someone else knows exactly what to do with a touch computer this stand can make the computer go almost completely flat which I guess is good for maybe graphics design and join so in front of the display is a sheet of glossy glass which gets bombarded in fingerprints as soon as you use to touch functionality so just below the awesome display you'll find a rather unusual set of speakers on most a iOS the speakers are not even visible but here you've got six in the front and four below making the Dell XPS 27 the loudest AIO I've ever heard clarity and detail wise these sound fantastic but they don't have that much bass at all in between the front speakers there is a webcam and a Windows hello iris scanner the webcam is of mediocre quality and it's placement doesn't help in any way the iris scanner however did not even work on our review units it's not recognized by Windows for some reason but I've done some research though and according to most sources the iris scanner works great with Windows hello and is supposed to be very fast so on the sides there is a very welcomed USB type a port an SD card reader and a headphone jack the back port situation however is in terms of just sheer ports great it's got two USB type-c Thunderbolt three ports four USB type a port an Ethernet jack HDMI out and DisplayPort out it's pretty sad however that the DisplayPort and HDMI out ports are just out there is no way to use just the monitor itself and not a computer this makes the PC not very future proof at all in terms of accessing the ports though it's a struggle as they are all hidden behind the thick aluminum stand in the box you get a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse the mouse feels very cheap and just doesn't work for me the keyboard however is really good it feels unlike the mouse premium the clicks are good with just enough resistance and clicking as from a non mechanical keyboard the layout is also great it's got the full numpad and dedicated media control keys a really good job on this down performance-wise the XPS 27 got a Cinebench CPU score of 813 and an OpenGL GPU score of 106 fps keep in mind though that our review unit is running the last gen M 385 GPU so you can expect all GPU related scores in this video to be better with a new GPU speaking of GPUs can it game yes it actually can while definitely not as 4k the XPS 27 can pull out some pretty good and playable SPSS in easy to run games it flows through photo editing with ease it can also actually do some 4k video editing as long as you don't have the preview window at the native 4k resolution I rendered a three minutes long 4k video in Stony Vegas in 19 minutes compared to the nine minutes and 38 seconds on my 8 core AMD rice and CPU so with all this rendering and playing games the CPU and GPU put out a lot of heat that have to be cooled the cooling system does a good job of cooling the components so that they don't throttle while at the same time being very quiet I appreciate that the XPS 27 is available in various different configurations they all start at 1449 u.s. dollars that gives you a 4k non-touch display with an i5 CPU a piece of RAM and a one terabyte hard drive there are other configurations like the ultra high-end $2700 one however I think the best one to buy would be the two thousand dollar ones it bumps up the CPU to an i7 it also doubles the RAM and hard drive capacities so as a conclusion the Dell XPS 27 is a great all-in-one computer with a punchy speaker system its 4k screen is one of the best i've ever seen and the performance is good enough for most people so what do you guys think of the Dell XPS 27 let me know by liking or disliking this video if you have any questions make sure to leave them in the comments down below and I'll see you guys in the next one peace
