If your desktop has been feeling a bit bland lately, the Lenovo Yoga AIO 32i (starting at $2,099.99; $2,809.99 as tested) might be just the kind of all-in-one glow-up your setup needs. Between the ultra-clean design, the colorful 32-inch 4K display, and enough premium touches to make your desk feel like a design studio, this all-in-one makes a compelling first impression—and backs it up with potent everyday performance good for creative projects, daily multitasking, and a bit of gaming. However, this AIO's extras really set it apart—like the One Cable Link setup that turns it into a hybrid docking station, or the 15W wireless charger baked into the base. You don't see either of those on any iMac.

While all that polish doesn’t come cheap, Lenovo often discounts its systems considerably, like our test configuration's $2,389.99 sale price at the time of publishing. For the price, this is a sharply designed and sharp-screen all-in-one that can handle your workdays and the nights in between without breaking a sweat. Still, the HP OmniStudio X keeps its Editors' Choice award honors as the top high-end AIO desktop.

Configurations: Grab the Step-Up Model, If You Can

Lenovo sells the Yoga AIO 32i in two configurations, both based on efficient Intel "Lunar Lake" Core Ultra 200V-class CPUs, which are really laptop-grade chips. First up is the $2,099.99 ($1,899.99 on sale) model with an Intel Core Ultra 7 256V processor with Intel Arc Graphics 140V, 16GB of LPDDR5X memory, and a 1TB M.2 solid-state drive.

Both configurations include the same sharp 31.5-inch 4K (3,840-by-2,160-pixel) IPS display with a 60Hz refresh rate. However, unlike many modern AIOs, this one does not have a touch screen. Depending on your personal preference, that fact may be disappointing or mean nothing to you.

Our reviewed configuration slightly increases the processing power and doubles the memory, with a Core Ultra 7 258V CPU, 32GB of RAM, and the same 1TB SSD. The big difference: You also get a dedicated Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 GPU. This version is best for creators who want a decently powerful all-in-one desktop with everything—even the mouse and keyboard—in the box.

Design and Features: A Sharp, But Not Flawless, Build

For a 32-inch all-in-one, the Yoga AIO 32i has a surprisingly modest footprint. It’s light without feeling flimsy, and while a touch-screen or matte, anti-glare panel option would’ve been welcome, the 4K display dazzles. The large, bright, and colorful screen makes the whole system a joy to work on or play with. The 20-degree tilt helps a bit with ergonomics, but it has no height adjustment. However, the 15-watt wireless charger built right into the base helps the setup feel purpose-built for modern workflows.

This round base is about the size of a dinner plate. Distinctive venting and ports are tucked underneath to keep your desk setup clean and clutter-free. The sleek, minimalist design gives off serious “PC of the future” energy—equal parts sleek and practical.

The desktop's wired and wireless connectivity are potent and broad, including Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, one Thunderbolt 4 port, one 10Gbps USB-C connection, two USB-A 2.0 ports, and an HDMI 2.1 output supporting another 4K/60Hz display. However, it blows my mind that Lenovo didn't include any front-facing ports. Plugging in a thumb drive or wired headphones means reaching around back and blindly fumbling until something clicks. It’s a pain point in an otherwise polished setup.

Two more items that don't match the premium feel are Lenovo's included wireless keyboard and mouse. These come off as a little too budget-y for the more-than-$2,000 price of our test unit. They're not poor peripherals per se, but they're simply boring and plain, like Lenovo forgot to dress the rest of the outfit.

At least the 5-megapixel webcam has a proper hardware privacy switch on the side of the base—not buried in the back where you’d never find it. The camera does a good job, as do the built-in Harman Kardon speakers, which pump out respectable audio for media playback or conference calls.

One thing to note is the lack of component upgradability. An AIO's CPU is never upgradable, mounted on the mainboard like in any laptop. Here, though, you don't get the ability to upgrade the RAM or storage; the 32GB of memory and 1TB M.2 SSD that come in our test configuration are what you live with for the life of the machine, unless you're willing to crack the case and change out, as opposed to augment, the M.2 boot drive. Realistically, any storage expansion will be via an external drive for most folks.

Performance Testing: Competitive Speeds for Everyday Tasks

We tested the Yoga AIO 32i against some familiar faces: the HP OmniStudio X ($2,728.99 as tested), the Yoga AIO 9i Gen 8 ($1,799.99 as tested), the 2024 M4 Apple iMac ($2,299 as tested), and the Dell 24 All-in-One (EC24250), at $1,008.99 as tested.

Productivity and Content Creation Tests

Our primary overall benchmark, UL's PCMark 10, puts a system through its paces in productivity apps ranging from web browsing to word processing and spreadsheet work. Its Full System Drive subtest measures a PC's storage throughput. Three further tests are CPU-centric or processor-intensive: Maxon's Cinebench 2024 uses that company's Cinema 4D engine to render a complex scene; Primate Labs' Geekbench 6.3 Pro simulates popular apps ranging from PDF rendering and speech recognition to machine learning; and we see how long it takes the video transcoder HandBrake 1.8 to convert a 12-minute clip from 4K to 1080p resolution. Finally, workstation maker Puget Systems' PugetBench for Creators rates a PC's image editing prowess with a variety of automated operations in the seminal image editor Adobe Photoshop 25.

The Yoga 32i outpaced the smaller Dell 24 All-in-One (based on a U-series CPU) across the board and kept up with its 32-inch peers in most everyday and creative workloads.

In typical productivity and content creation tasks, Yoga AIO 32i held up well against the OmniStudio X and Yoga AIO 9i Gen 8: simulated spreadsheets, Photoshop edits, and 4K video previews didn’t cause any stutter. However, the Yoga AIO 32i lagged behind the 32-inch HP OmniStudio X in multi-core performance, and our video transcoding trial in HandBrake took nearly three minutes longer to complete.

Meanwhile, the iMac excelled in nearly every test it could run, particularly Geekbench and Photoshop, versus its PC rivals in this lot. Here's the bottom line: For day-to-day tasks like emails, streaming, and light editing, the Yoga will handle most of your workload with ease.

Graphics Tests

We challenge each reviewed system’s graphics with a quintet of animations or gaming simulations from UL's 3DMark test suite. The first two, Wild Life (1440p) and Wild Life Extreme (4K), use the Vulkan graphics API to measure GPU speeds. The second pair, Steel Nomad's regular (4K) and Light (1440p) subtests, focuses on APIs more commonly used for game development to assess gaming geometry and particle effects. The fifth test, 3DMark Solar Bay, emphasizes ray-tracing performance using Vulkan or Metal APIs at 1440p resolution. (At the time we reviewed it, our iMac test unit was not able to run the 3DMark benchmarks that macOS is now compatible with.)

The RTX 4050 inside the Yoga AIO 32i won't rival any gaming rig, but its GPU can handle creative work. In every graphics benchmark, the new Yoga AIO ran neck-and-neck with the HP AIO's RTX 4050 GPU. If you want to push this system to run games, you can get by with playing most current games on medium to low settings and likely at 1080p resolution. That makes this system a fairly decent family computer you can drop in the den for work, but also have the kids play games or watch videos on it.

Display Tests

To gauge display performance on all-in-one desktops, we use a Datacolor SpyderX Elite monitor calibration sensor and its Windows software to measure the screen's color saturation—what percentage of the sRGB, Adobe RGB, and DCI-P3 color gamuts or palettes the display can show—and its 50% and peak brightness in nits (candelas per square meter).

The new Yoga AIO proved among the most vibrant displays in the comparison set, rivaling even the iMac in every gamut but DCI-P3. Lenovo's Yoga display was even brighter than the iMac's, even as HP's OmniStudio clearly eclipsed it in pure nits output. This is arguably one of the best displays you'll find on a Windows-based all-in-one desktop today.
