Lenovo Yoga AIO 27i desktop review: An all-in-one, if utilitarian, PC

The Lenovo Yoga AIO 27i (aka 27IAH10) bucks all-in-one desktop trends by being much more expensive than the sum of its parts. Inside, you’re packing a fairly powerful PC that’s more than capable of handling most light office or creative workloads. It conveys all of that through a respectable 27-inch display. Even the keyboard, mouse, and built-in webcam are of good quality.

The list price of $1,319 is a bit high compared to assembling a mini PC like this Mac mini or Minisforum X1 AI Pro and Decent screen. One of these sets will be a little less money, depending on the configuration you choose. But there’s something to be said for the neat integrations Lenovo has done with this system. Unlike some AIO desktops, this one has an HDMI input. So, when the device inside the 27i gets a little long, you can turn it off and use the screen as a standalone monitor. Or you can use this input for a gaming console and take advantage of the screen’s 120Hz refresh rate.

At the time of testing, my test configuration was the Lenovo Yoga AIO 27i (27IAH10). Listed at $1,330 but selling price is $950. Lenovo also offers model It’s based on the previous generation Intel Core Ultra 5 125H processor that comes with half the storage and a touchscreen but is largely identical. This model comes with an “estimated value” from Lenovo of $1,229, but was on sale for $900 at the time of writing. Lenovo Lists some additional configurations Which includes the option of a Core Ultra 9 285H CPU, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 discrete graphics, up to 32GB of memory, and an optional 15W wireless charger. However, since the memory is soldered, you won’t be able to upgrade it after purchase Due to lack of memoryI recommend getting as much money as possible.

The 27i system includes not only an AIO desktop, but also a wireless keyboard and mouse. Although these are not high-end peripherals, they are also not high-end add-ons. I found the keyboard largely satisfactory and the mouse good for the basics. They both connect to the computer via a single USB-A dongle.

Up to snuff

Although it’s on the affordable side for a desktop AIO, the 27i is surprisingly powerful. The Intel Core Ultra 7 255H’s single-core speeds may not quite reach the same level as Apple’s M4 chip, as found in the latest Mac Mini or iMac, but it proves just as capable in multi-core workloads, as confirmed in my testing using the Cinebench R24 and Geekbench 6 tests. The 255H in the 27i showcases the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V found in the Yoga AIO 32i (32ILL19) more Cost from Lenovo.

The system is relatively competitive with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370-powered Minisforum AI X1 Pro, a high-end mini PC. It outperforms single-core performance, although it takes some hits in multi-core speeds. The 27i model’s Intel Arc 140T gives it the edge, as this proved slightly more efficient in the more demanding 3DMark tests than Minisforum’s AMD Radeon 890M solution. It’s always worth noting that this type of integrated graphics still has a long way to go to catch up with discrete graphics cards. For example, the 32i’s diminutive RTX 4050 (32ILL19) keeps the Lenovo Yoga AIO 27IAH10 and Miniforum away from graphics workloads.

However, the 27i’s performance is more than adequate for common office workloads and can easily handle browsing, media consumption, and even light creative tasks. The system manages this performance quietly as well, with no sound of the cooling fan being heard even when the system is under heavy load.

Utilitarianism in a good way

The 27i takes a different approach to all-in-one design compared to the Lenovo Yoga 32i. Instead of putting all of its computing parts in the base of the monitor stand, it packs them into the neck, making it a bit wide and bulky. However, he is admirably conservative. Although it’s not quite as stylish as the 32i, it manages to be more utilitarian, offering height, tilt and swivel adjustments for the screen. The entire stand also swivels on its lazy susan-style base.

This flexibility also makes the Lenovo Yoga AIO 27IAH10 a good monitor. Once again, the 27i differs from the more premium 32i, in that it actually offers an HDMI input to allow you to skip the built-in computer and use it as a regular monitor. So, years later, when the computational power of the system is no longer sufficient, you can continue to use the perfectly serviceable display with another computer.

The screen itself isn’t half bad either. It has a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, providing reasonable clarity at 27 inches, and can run at 120Hz. It delivers 479 nits of brightness in HDR mode (398 nits in SDR mode), covers 99% of the sRGB color space and puts out decent color accuracy with an average dE1976 of 1.18. Between its brightness and matte finish, it’s easy on the eyes.

The speakers aren’t exactly impressive. It’s somewhat lacking in low end, which makes for a harsher presentation of music and takes some of the energy out of movies. But if you just listen to educational speeches and presentations, it does the job.

The system also doesn’t suffer from a major lack of ports, with some located on the back and side. All five USB ports (three Type-A, two Type-C) are 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 spec, which is good, but it’s a bit disappointing and a bit surprising that none of them are high-speed USB4 or Thunderbolt 4. There’s also an HDMI output so you can pair the 27i with a second monitor. Finally, there is an Ethernet jack for wired Internet connection.

Above the screen is a 5-megapixel webcam. Not only did this provide sharp, if slightly noisy, video, but it was paired with an infrared emitter to enable Windows Hello facial recognition for quick biometric login. The microphones also did a good job of picking up my voice. They sounded a bit distant, but they canceled out the background noise well enough so the listener could focus on just my voice.

Finally, the Lenovo Yoga AIO 27i (27IAH10) extracts heat from the top of the stand, and it does so quietly. Although there are at least two layers of mesh that filter the air brought into the computer, neither of them looks good. Without a clear way to access and clean the cooling system from time to time, dust is likely to build up and suffer in the long run.

Is the Lenovo Yoga AIO 27i worth buying?

As is the case with all-in-one PCs, Lenovo has certainly put together a great device with the AIO 27i. It has solid processing performance, a good-looking 27-inch display, and enough ports and connections to meet almost any need. The lack of discrete graphics or a single high-speed USB-C port is disappointing, but not unusual for its price. Additionally, it’s nice to have an HDMI input and output. It’s a great package overall, especially if you can Pick one up for under $1,000.
