ASUS All-in-One VM471 2026, Snapdragon X, 16GB, 1TB SSD, White

The ASUS VM471 pairs a genuinely strong Snapdragon X CPU at the 75th percentile with a weak integrated GPU at the 28th percentile. It's a family all-in-one built for AI features and everyday tasks, not gaming or graphics work. At $1,200, it's a reasonable buy for the right user, but the 10.3 gaming score and 37th percentile reliability are hard to ignore.

The Snapdragon X 8-core chip running at 3.0GHz is the star here, landing at the 75th percentile for CPU performance. That's well above average for all-in-ones, and it translates to snappy everyday multitasking. 16GB of LPDDR5X memory keeps browser tabs and apps moving without much fuss, though the RAM itself only ranks at the 59th percentile, which is solid but not exciting. The 1TB Gen 4 SSD is middle of the pack at the 51st percentile, but it's plenty of room for family photos, documents, and downloads.

The Adreno integrated GPU is where things get rough. At the 28th percentile, it's a weak spot for anything graphics-intensive. You'll be fine with streaming video, light photo editing, and casual 2D games, but don't expect to run modern titles at playable frame rates. The 90W PSU tells you everything about the power envelope here. This machine is built for efficiency, not raw performance, and the 45 TOPS of NPU power is the real differentiator. AI tasks that would normally hit the cloud run locally, which is faster and more private.

Stacked against the competition, the VM471 occupies a strange niche. The Apple Mac Studio M3 Ultra absolutely destroys it in raw performance, but that's a workstation for professionals, not a family all-in-one. The Lenovo Legion Tower 5a and Dell Aurora Gaming are gaming-focused towers that make the VM471's 10.3 gaming score look embarrassing, but they're not all-in-ones and they don't have touchscreens. The HP OMEN GT16-0364 is another gaming rig that trades blows on CPU but crushes the Adreno GPU. The Horizon Pcs Autherium Dragon is a wildcard, but it's also a tower. The VM471's real competition is other all-in-ones, and in that space, the Snapdragon X CPU at the 75th percentile is actually a standout. The problem is that the GPU and reliability drag the overall package down to a 51.8 out of 100 total score.

At $1,200, the VM471 is priced like a premium all-in-one but delivers a mixed bag. You're paying a premium for the Snapdragon X platform and the Copilot+ AI features, which are genuinely new and interesting. But the GPU performance and reliability scores don't match the price tag. The 4.5 out of 5 customer rating from 11 reviews suggests early buyers are happy, but that's a small sample size. If you're buying this for AI features and everyday family use, the value is reasonable. If you want any kind of graphics performance, you're overpaying for hardware that can't deliver.

The ASUS VM471 is the first Snapdragon-powered all-in-one we've tested, and it's a curious mix of forward-looking AI hardware and very traditional desktop compromises. The headline numbers are a 75th percentile CPU, 16GB of DDR5, and a 1TB Gen 4 SSD, all wrapped in a 27-inch touchscreen chassis that weighs 6.96kg. For $1,200, you're getting a Copilot+ PC with 45 TOPS of on-device AI processing, which is genuinely interesting if you care about local AI features like real-time voice processing and smart photo organization.

But the cracks show up fast when you look past the AI sticker. The integrated Adreno GPU sits at the 28th percentile, which makes this a terrible choice for anything beyond casual gaming. Gaming as a category scores 10.3 out of 100 in our database. Reliability lands at the 37th percentile, and the port selection is dead average at the 50th percentile. This is a family computer for browsing, streaming, and schoolwork, not a workstation or a gaming rig, and the numbers back that up hard.

Gamers should absolutely skip this. The 10.3 out of 100 gaming score and 28th percentile GPU make it one of the worst choices for gaming in our database. Anyone who needs reliable, long-term performance should also think twice, given the 37th percentile reliability ranking. If you do video editing, 3D modeling, or any graphics-intensive work, the integrated Adreno GPU will be a constant bottleneck. And if you need lots of ports or expansion options, the 50th percentile port selection is nothing special. This is a machine for light, everyday use, not for pushing boundaries.

The ASUS VM471 is a solid family computer with a genuinely interesting AI story, but it's held back by weak graphics and below-average reliability. The Snapdragon X CPU is the real deal at the 75th percentile, and the 45 TOPS of NPU power makes Copilot+ features feel snappy and private. But the 28th percentile GPU and 10.3 gaming score mean this is strictly for browsing, streaming, schoolwork, and light productivity. If that's your use case and you want a clean, touchscreen all-in-one with AI features, this is a reasonable buy at $1,200. If you need any kind of graphics performance, look elsewhere.
