We gave an Editors' Choice award to this desktop in our review , praising its "extensive configuration options" combined with an aluminum and rolled steel chassis for an understated but durable look. This particular configuration is ideal for students, with a 14th generation Intel Core i7-14700 processor and a GeForce RTX 4060 Ti graphics card that's great for creative applications. Combine that with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD and you've got a recipe for success. Tons of easily-accessible front-facing ports let you plug in peripherals, and it comes with a keyboard and mouse.
Bringing your entire gaming battlestation into a dorm room is kind of a social faux pas, so if you're off to college it might be wise to invest in a PC with a smaller footprint. We raved about Dell's OptiPlex small form factor desktop in our review , saying that the unit was "a capable tool that can fit almost anywhere and run business applications with ease" and giving it an Editors' Choice award. We also praised its deep warranty with three-year on-site service. This loadout comes with an Intel Core i5 14500 vPro processor with integrated graphics, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. This is a pure practicality machine, but it thrives in those situations.

We gave this sleek curved screen an Editors' Choice award in our review , boasting that the Alienware AW3423DWF "looks dazzling while in use" thanks to a rated peak brightness of 1000 nits, exceptional OLED-driven contrast and a 21:9 wide screen ratio paired with a gentle 1800R curve. The ultra-thin bezel maximizes screen space without distractions, and the sturdy V-shaped stand can be adjusted for optimal ergonomics.
