Hello Tech4Gamers community,

I'm currently looking for a new desktop that balances gaming and productivity while saving desk space. Traditional desktops are great for performance and customization, but I’m considering an all-in-one (AIO) desktop due to space constraints. However, I'm unsure whether an AIO can handle modern gaming and multitasking efficiently, so I wanted to get insights from the knowledgeable members of Tech4Gamers before making a decision.

I've been looking into options like the Ideacentre AIO 24 inch desktop, which seems to have a sleek design while offering decent hardware for daily tasks and light gaming. My main concern is whether an AIO like this can handle high-performance applications, occasional gaming, and multitasking without overheating or facing performance bottlenecks. Since AIO desktops typically have limited upgradability compared to traditional desktops, I’m also curious if there are ways to optimize performance for longevity.

Has anyone here had experience with AIO desktops for gaming and productivity? Are there particular configurations or models that you'd recommend? Also, are there any significant downsides, such as cooling limitations or lack of upgrade options, that I should be aware of?

Looking forward to your insights and suggestions!
