The Lenovo Yoga AIO 27-Inch (starting at $929.99; $1,319.99 as tested) is a premium all-in-one desktop that blends style with substance. Its vibrant 27-inch display and capable audio make it a strong choice for entertainment, while an Intel Core H-class processor delivers above-average performance. A highly adjustable stand and conveniently placed ports add to its appeal. Though the bundled wireless peripherals are unremarkable—and you won't get touch support with every model—the base configuration stands out for its value. For those seeking a well-rounded Windows AIO, the Yoga AIO 27-Inch earns our Editors' Choice award.
Configurations: Everyday Power, Varying Perks
Intended for household use, the Yoga AIO 27-Inch offers ample everyday performance. Every configuration is powered by Intel Core H-class processors that are typically found in desktop-replacement laptops, plus the latest Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 wireless connectivity. It’s a step up in all areas from the IdeaCentre AIO 27.
The entry-level $929 model includes a Core Ultra 5 125H chip, 512GB of storage, and a 2,560-by-1,440-pixel touch display. Our $1,319 review model, exclusive to Best Buy, steps up to the newer Core Ultra 7 255H processor and doubles the storage to 1TB. Curiously, it omits touch capability—a feature that you can get in the otherwise-identical $1,599 version.

Dell’s 27 All-in-One (refer to our review of the 24-inch model) also starts at $929 but lacks touch support at that price. Touch models begin at $1,129, though all configurations rely on less capable Core U-class processors, limiting overall performance. Meanwhile, the Apple iMac starts at $1,299 with a higher-resolution display, though it’s available only in the 24-inch size.
Design: Modern Looks, Innovative Port Placement
Lenovo’s Luna Gray AIO offers a sleek, upscale aesthetic. Measuring 22.3 by 24 by 9.3 inches (HWD), it’s comparable to a 27-inch, 16:9 monitor. The integrated stand supports rotation, lift (70mm), swivel, and tilt (-10 to +5 degrees), making it easy to fine-tune the screen’s position to your liking. The stand is permanently attached, so VESA or other mounting options aren’t available, but the extensive adjustability makes up for it.
(Credit: Joseph Maldonado)The stand is permanently attached for good reason—it houses all the computing components, explaining why the display is thinner than it is on a typical AIO. The vents encircling the stand’s rounded top handle cooling. Impressively, the system remained practically silent even under benchmark load.
(Credit: Joseph Maldonado)All I/O ports are housed in the stand, making them far more accessible than the typical under-display layout found on many AIOs. On the left edge, you’ll find a USB Type-A port, a USB Type-C port, and a headphone jack. Around back, you’ll find an HDMI input (enabling the PC to function as a secondary display), another USB Type-C port and two more USB Type-A ports, an Ethernet jack, and an HDMI output capable of 4K at 60Hz. All USB ports support 10Gbps transfer speeds. Power is supplied via a compact, laptop-style external adapter.
(Credit: Joseph Maldonado)Control buttons on the stand include the on-screen display joystick, the webcam kill switch, and the power button on the right edge, plus the monitor mode switch button on the left edge. The webcam offers sharp 1080p video recording—I could easily make out details in my face on a conference call. It also features an IR sensor for biometric facial recognition.
Display and Peripherals: Solid Output, Average Input
The standout feature of the Yoga AIO is its 27-inch display, featuring a 2,560-by-1,440 resolution and IPS panel technology. It delivers wide viewing angles and an anti-glare surface for comfortable use in various lighting conditions, plus a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling. As we noted before, our test unit didn't have touch functionality, although you can get it on select models. Visually, the screen impresses with strong brightness, vivid contrast, and rich color reproduction. Movie trailers on YouTube looked especially vibrant and immersive, and even pages in Microsoft Word looked extra crisp.
(Credit: Joseph Maldonado)The system's four JBL-tuned speakers—two tweeters and two woofers—enhance its entertainment appeal. Although the speakers' rear-facing placement results in slightly distant output, the audio remains clear, with solid bass response. Using the Atmos presets in the Dolby Access app, particularly the one called Detailed, improves clarity and boosts detail. Volume peaks around 80%, beyond which it doesn’t seem to get louder. Overall, the sound quality is comparable to that of a basic Bluetooth speaker—more than satisfactory for an AIO PC.
(Credit: Joseph Maldonado)The bundled wireless keyboard and mouse complement the Yoga’s silver finish and connect via a single low-profile USB dongle. The keyboard features a built-in rechargeable battery with USB Type-C charging, while the mouse uses a single AA battery and includes a convenient storage slot for the dongle.
(Credit: Joseph Maldonado)The keyboard is roughly 95% of full size, complete with a number pad and a two-column navigation cluster. Its keys offer a soft, overly cushioned feel that’s comfortable for extended typing sessions, though they lack the tactile precision of premium models. In the MonkeyType online typing test, I came close to my top typing speed but fell short on accuracy. There are no special features, such as backlighting or port passthroughs.

Performance Testing: Faster Than Your Average All-in-One
For comparison with the Yoga AIO, we tested several systems: the Apple iMac (2024, M4; $2,299 as tested), Dell’s 24 All-in-One ($1,008.99 as tested), and the Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 27 ($849.99 as tested). With our recent all-in-ones tapped out, we filled the remaining spot with the ECS Liva Z7 Plus mini-PC ($499 for the barebones version), which supports VESA mounting behind a monitor.
Among these, the M4-powered iMac offers the likely strongest performance benchmark. In contrast, the Dell, ECS, and Lenovo IdeaCentre rely on laptop-grade components that won’t prove as competitive in raw power.
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 more tests we rely on 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 quantifies a PC's image editing prowess with a variety of automated operations in the seminal image editor Adobe Photoshop 25.
The Yoga AIO 27-Inch made short work of these benchmarks. It was unchallenged in PCMark’s main test and dominated the CPU testing, with its leading scores in Handbrake and the multi-core portions of Cinebench and Geekbench. While it didn’t approach the iMac’s Photoshop score, it surpassed the other systems.
The ECS system provides a glimpse of what you might get with the base Yoga AIO, considering it uses the same Core Ultra 5 125H CPU offered in that model. Budget-conscious shoppers who aren’t taxing the system with anything demanding ought to find that chip offers ample performance for everyday usability.
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 next 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. A fifth test, Solar Bay, emphasizes ray-tracing performance.
Though these systems all rely on integrated graphics, the Yoga AIO’s Core Ultra 255H has the strongest implementation in its Arc 140T. It easily outperformed the IdeaCentre’s Radeon and the Dell’s venerable Intel Graphics solutions. The ECS slotted in the middle with its previous-generation Arc chip. While it’s unreasonable to expect the Yoga AIO to be a good gaming system, it offers ample performance for streaming and light 3D work.
Display Tests
As with laptops, we use a Datacolor SpyderX Elite monitor calibration sensor and software to measure the color saturation of all-in-one desktops' displays—what percentage of the sRGB, Adobe RGB, and DCI-P3 color gamuts or palettes each screen can show—and its 50% and peak brightness in nits (candelas per square meter).
The Yoga AIO 27-Inch’s screen produces a quality picture, with complete sRGB coverage and much better peak brightness than the IdeaCentre. The iMac offers even better visuals, provided cost isn’t an issue.
