Desktop PCs for Home and Office

All desktops

22 desktop PCs for home and office from Lenovo, HP, Dell and more. Most cost $256 to $999, and half cost less than $400.

Between 8GB and 16GB of memory, 256GB of storage or more and no separate graphics card. Documents, mail and a browser do not need more.

We do not pick by hand: a desktop is here because its listed specs pass the checks.
