Apple iMac (27-inch) vs Asus Zen AiO ZN241ICUT

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).

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.

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.

Especially bass-heavy tracks sound rich and full. The volume is great as well.

The 5K display lets you do full resolution 4K video editing and still have all your toolbars and sliders on the screen.

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.

The screen is very bright with lifelike and warm colours. Although images are not very sharp or as colour-accurate as some more expensive options.

Thanks to the included 128 GB storage the computer starts up almost instantly and programs load quickly if they are installed on that drive.

Directed toward the user, the speakers are able to produce loud audio without getting distorted even at high volumes.

The default wireless keyboard is very comfortable. The keys have decent travel distance and offer great feedback when typing.

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.
