ASUS has discounted its V400 AiO desktop computer by 21 percent on Amazon, dropping the price to 700 euros from its original 900 euros. The flash deal represents a saving of 200 euros on the all-in-one machine, with purchase links listing the final price at 699 euros in one of its biggest markdowns to date.
The desktop computer offers an affordable alternative to Apple's iMac, which established the benchmark for all-in-one personal computers by popularizing the format. While Apple's clean design requires only a single power cable to maintain an uncluttered workspace, its premium price tag remains out of reach for many budgets.
The ASUS V400 AiO (V440VAK-WPC3390) is designed primarily for teleworking, office tasks, web browsing, and streaming multimedia content. It is not built for demanding computational workloads, as it lacks a super-powerful processor or a dedicated graphics card. Consequently, the machine is not suitable for heavy video editing or modern video games, although it can run light software titles.
Display quality and processing performance
The system features a 23.8-inch Full HD display with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels and a brightness rating of 250 nits. The screen provides clear visuals for routine office work and studying at home, though it is not intended for professional graphic design.
Inside the display chassis, the computer houses an Intel Core 5 210H processor equipped with eight cores and 12 threads. The chip achieves maximum clock speeds of up to 4.8 GHz, offering sufficient performance for demanding office work, handling numerous open browser tabs, managing video calls, running lightweight Photoshop editing, and handling programming tasks.
System memory consists of 16 GB of DDR5 RAM, which supports fast data handling during multitasking. Internal storage is provided by a 512 GB NVMe solid-state drive, delivering rapid boot times and fast file access compared to traditional hard drives.
Operating system options and port connectivity
A notable aspect of the ASUS desktop is that it ships without a pre-installed operating system. Computer manufacturers frequently omit bundled operating systems to lower the retail purchase price by avoiding Microsoft software license fees.
Users have the freedom to install Microsoft Windows 11 or opt for a free open-source Linux distribution such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or Fedora. Inexpensive licenses for Windows 11 can be sourced separately online for buyers who prefer the Microsoft environment.
For online communication, the machine includes an integrated webcam designed for clear video calls. Physical connectivity features three USB-A ports, one USB-C port, a LAN Ethernet port, and a dedicated headphone jack for wired audio devices.
The all-in-one system also provides two HDMI ports, consisting of one HDMI output port and one HDMI input port. The dual setup allows users to output the desktop signal to a secondary monitor or connect external hardware, such as a gaming console or secondary PC, directly to the 23.8-inch screen.
Wireless connections are managed via built-in Wi-Fi for internet access and Bluetooth for pairing wireless peripherals, including keyboards, mice, and headphones.
