Dell Pro 24, Core Ultra 7 265, 32GB, 512GB SSD

The Dell Pro 24 All-in-One Plus pairs a top-tier 20-core Core Ultra 7 265 CPU with 32GB of RAM in a clean, touchscreen package that's built for office multitasking. Integrated graphics and a 512GB SSD keep it firmly out of gaming or creative territory. At USD 1,636 in the US, it's a fair price for a business all-in-one, though Canadian buyers should hunt for the CAD 2,257 listing and avoid the CAD 4,924 one. Recommended for offices and home workers who value a clean desk and quiet operation over raw GPU power.

The Core Ultra 7 265 is the star here. With 20 cores and a 2.4GHz base clock, it's in the 89th percentile for all-in-one CPUs, which puts it among the best processors you'll find in this category. In practical terms, that means you can run a video call, keep 40 browser tabs open, and have Excel crunching a large sheet without the fan spinning up like a jet engine. The 32GB of DDR5 RAM at the 83rd percentile is also a real strength. Most all-in-ones in this price range ship with 16GB, so having 32GB means this machine will stay responsive for years, especially if your workflow involves multiple heavy apps at once.

The integrated Intel Graphics is where the performance story gets more grounded. It sits at the 51st percentile, which is about average for integrated graphics, but that's not saying much in a world where dedicated GPUs exist. For office work, photo viewing, and light video playback, it's perfectly fine. The 512GB NVMe SSD is also middle of the pack at the 43rd percentile. It's fast enough for boot times and app launches, but 512GB fills up quicker than you'd think once Windows 11 Pro, a few years of documents, and some local backups pile up. The 240W power supply tells you this is an efficient machine, not a power-hungry workstation.

The Dell Pro 24 sits in an awkward spot when you line it up against the competition. The Lenovo Legion 90Y6003JUS and HP OMEN B91WHAA#ABA are gaming-focused desktops that will absolutely destroy the Dell in GPU performance, but they're towers with no built-in display. If you need an all-in-one for a reception desk or a shared office space, those aren't really competitors. The Apple Mac Studio M4 Max is a different beast entirely, a compact workstation with serious GPU power, but it's also aimed at creative pros who need rendering performance, and it requires a separate monitor.

The MSI Aegis ZS2 and CLX SET are both gaming desktops with dedicated graphics cards. They'll run circles around the Dell Pro 24 in any 3D workload, but they're also louder, larger, and not touchscreen-equipped. The Dell's real advantage is the integrated package: a good screen, a great CPU, plenty of RAM, and a clean footprint. For a business that needs 20 of these deployed across an office, the Dell is the easy choice. For a single user who wants to game or edit video, every one of those competitors is a better fit.

Pricing on this thing is a bit of a rollercoaster depending on where you shop. In the US, you're looking at USD 1,636 from a single listing. In Canada, the spread is wild, with two listings ranging from CAD 2,257 all the way up to CAD 4,924. That's a CAD 2,667 gap between the cheapest and most expensive option for what appears to be the same machine. If you're in Canada, the CAD 2,257 listing is the obvious choice, and honestly, the higher-priced listing looks like someone hoping a corporate buyer won't bother comparison shopping.

For what you get, USD 1,636 is reasonable but not a steal. You're paying for the all-in-one form factor, the excellent CPU, and the generous RAM. But the 512GB SSD and integrated graphics mean you're not getting workstation-class storage or any GPU headroom. Compared to a traditional desktop with similar specs, you'd save a few hundred dollars, but you'd also have a tower, a separate monitor, and a mess of cables. For a business that values clean desks and easy deployment, the premium is justified. For a home user who wants maximum performance per dollar, a small form factor desktop and a separate monitor might stretch further.

The Dell Pro 24 All-in-One Plus is one of those machines that quietly gets things done without demanding attention. It packs a 20-core Intel Core Ultra 7 265, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 23.8-inch 1080p IPS touchscreen into a single clean unit. No tower, no cable spaghetti, just a screen and a power cord. For anyone whose desk doubles as a meeting room, a home office, or a front desk, that simplicity counts for a lot.

Dell is aiming this squarely at business and home office buyers, and our scoring backs that up. It lands at 79.2 out of 100 for business use and 77.9 for home office. The total score of 77 puts it in solid territory, but the gaming score of 15.8 tells you everything about what this machine is not. Integrated Intel Graphics will handle spreadsheets, video calls, and browser tabs without breaking a sweat, but it's not going near anything demanding on the GPU side.

What makes this interesting is the balance. The CPU sits at the 89th percentile among all-in-ones, which means it's one of the best processors you can get in this form factor right now. The RAM is also a standout at the 83rd percentile. But the storage is a modest 512GB NVMe SSD, which lands around the middle of the pack. It's a machine built for multitasking and office workloads, not for hoarding media libraries or running local AI models.

Gamers should skip this without a second thought. The integrated graphics put it at a 15.8 out of 100 for gaming, which is about as low as it gets. If you want to play anything released in the last five years at reasonable settings, you need a dedicated GPU, and this machine doesn't have one. Look at the HP OMEN B91WHAA#ABA or the MSI Aegis ZS2 instead, both of which are built for gaming and will run circles around the Dell in any 3D workload.

Creative professionals should also look elsewhere. Video editors, 3D artists, and anyone working with large media files will find the 512GB SSD limiting and the integrated graphics a bottleneck. The Apple Mac Studio M4 Max is a far better fit for that kind of work, though it costs more and requires a separate monitor. And if you're a home user who just wants the most performance per dollar, a traditional desktop with a mid-range GPU and a separate 1440p monitor will give you a better experience for similar money, just with more cables to manage.

If you're outfitting an office, a front desk, or a home workspace where the computer needs to disappear into the background, the Dell Pro 24 is a strong pick. The Core Ultra 7 265 and 32GB of RAM mean it'll handle years of multitasking without feeling sluggish. The touchscreen is a nice bonus for anyone who likes tapping through menus or signing documents directly on the screen. And the port selection is genuinely good, with enough USB-A and USB-C to cover a docking station's worth of peripherals without one.

But if you're a home user who wants to game, edit video, or do any kind of 3D work, look elsewhere. The integrated graphics are a hard ceiling, and the 512GB SSD will have you juggling files sooner than you'd like. For that buyer, a mid-range gaming desktop or a Mac Mini with a separate monitor will deliver far more performance per dollar. The Dell Pro 24 is a purpose-built office machine, and it's very good at that job. It's just not built for anything beyond it.
