Good performance for the price
With a 7th generation i5, 8GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD, the Zen AiO offers great performance for day-to-day tasks such as browsing the web, editing documents, programming, and even some light photo editing. It also manages to handle some low-resource games such as Civilization V quite decently. At $970 it's also one of the best all-in-one PCs as far as the price/performance ratio goes.

Plenty of USB ports
There are in total of 6 USB ports available. Great if you have a lot of peripheral devices to connect to it. Two of them are the faster USB 3.1 while four are 3.0 USB ports.

Extremely expensive for the internal hardware
For $3000 starting price you'd expect to get the bleeding edge of performance. But you don't. The internal graphics is either a nVidia GeForce GTX 965M (2GB) or the 980M (4GB), which are mobile graphics from last generation. There is no USB type C or Thunderbolt connections. The base model also starts at an i5 (the specs page doesn't list the specific version) processor.

Amazing accessories
The Surface Pen (included) is back with the Studio, but a new addition is the Surface Dial (sold separately for $99). This dial provides haptic feedback, and can rotate. It has a grippy rubber base, which means you can place it on the screen and it will stay there. Rotating it can do different things - rotate the image on the screen, change colors of the pen while drawing a continuous line, or rotate images in a 3D space (which Microsoft is pushing in their next update in early 2017). The Surface Pen works similar to previous versions - it can measure pressure sensitivity, and there are buttons on the side that allow for selection or other functions.

Large, versatile, amazing display
The 28" display has an interesting aspect ratio of 3:2, and it has an extremely high resolution of 4500x3000 (slightly more than 4K). It also has different modes (built into the software) to display Adobe sRGB or Vivid Color Profiles. This allows content creators to both see the true colors, but also how they will likely be displayed on an average display. This display has a pixel density of 192ppi, which allows you to get very close to it without being able to see individual pixels. The screen is also a touchscreen, with sensors for both the Surface Dial as well as the Surface Pen. In addition to all of this, they are marketing it as the thinnest display on any AIO (all in one) desktop which is technically true - it is the thinnest, however most of the internals are housed in the base.

The screen offers exceptional image quality
The 27-inch 5K screen is one of the best displays on the market, not only for all-in-one PCs but in general as well. For one it's very bright, reaching a maximum of 496nits. Secondly, it supports one billion colors, covering 167% of the sRGB color gamut and it's extremely color-accurate, having a 0.06 delta-E score (0 is ideal).

Con
Ports are in an awkward position
All the ports are in the back of the PC, which makes it annoying to insert USB/Ethernet cables since you have to either get up, or turn the screen around to insert a cable.

Great performance for creative professionals
Can be configured to have a Radeon Pro 570, 575, or 580 graphics card. Each one of them, especially the Radeon Pro 580 offers great graphics capabilities which is great for creative professionals who have to do GFX, photo, or video editing work.

Con
Can't use the mouse when it's charging
The Lightning cable has to be plugged into the bottom of the mouse. This makes it unusable while charging.

Great multitasking performance
You can customize the RAM to be up to 64GB. That can be an overkill for most people's needs. 16GB should be enough for most people for even the most resource-heavy tasks. With 16GB of memory and a 7th generation Intel Core i5, the iMac has more than enough horsepower for daily tasks. It can handle almost everything you throw at it without any issues. Browsing with 20+ tabs open for example does not strain this PC at all.

Con
The mouse feels rather cheap
While the arched design of the mouse looks really cool, it unfortunately feels rather low-quality and cheap. The buttons are mushy and don't provide good feedback which makes it hard to understand whether you actually pressed a button or not.

Great sound quality
The speakers are placed at the front of the base and at a good angle for the sound to hit the user's ears as much and efficiently as possible. The sound itself is quite loud and clear and is perfect for listening to music or watching movies.

Con
Ports are difficuilt to access
In order to make the case look as clean as possible, the ports have been moved to the back which unfortunately means that they are hard to reach and every time you need to plug a USB or HDMI cable you need to move all the desktop.

Great for editing photos, videos, or any doing any other visual tasks
The 16GB of RAM and the i7 CPU provide excellent power for most resource-intensive tasks such as photo or video editing. The screen is a great fit for graphic-related work as well with extremely crisp images and lifelike colors.
