The short version

The Dell 27 All-in-One (EC27260) uses Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, Wi-Fi 7 and a 27-inch FHD touch panel in its base configuration, with QHD+ panels on pricier versions. It includes an HDMI-in port for using the display with another device, an HDMI-out port, and a VESA-compatible stand. The base model ships with one 16GB DDR5 module and one M.2 SSD slot, and it uses an external power adapter. It suits home and small-office desks wanting an all-in-one with display flexibility.

Pros

  • Intel Wi-Fi 7 (BE213) and Bluetooth 6.0
  • HDMI-in 1.4 and HDMI-out 2.1 ports for using the display with another device or adding a monitor
  • USB 3.2 Type-C Gen 2 and USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports with Power Share
  • VESA-compatible plate stand with tilt adjustment
  • M.2 SSD slot accepts 2230 or 2280 drives

Cons

  • Base configuration ships with one 16GB DDR5 module, so memory runs single-channel
  • Only one M.2 storage slot
  • FHD resolution is modest on a 27-inch panel; QHD+ needs a pricier configuration
  • Requires an external power adapter

Best for

  • Home and small-office desks
  • Users who want to connect a laptop or console through HDMI-in

What reviewers and owners say

  • Tom's Guide

    Mixed

    Reviewing the 24-inch Core Ultra 5 sibling rather than this 27-inch model, it found an easy-to-set-up, reliable daily desktop with crisp speakers, but one that is not suited to gaming or demanding creative work.
