Use case summary for Intel picks: expect compact machines aimed at mainstream productivity, home office, and some light creative work depending on CPU generation and integrated GPU. Check the specific model listing for RAM, SSD, and port layout.

# How PCWorld selected these deals PCWorld's process (as stated) focuses on: concrete specs (CPU, RAM, SSD), overall design, user feedback, and overall value. The editors avoid "bare-bones" rigs that require you to supply memory or storage unless that's clearly called out in the product listing.

# Practical buying checklist

• Storage: Prefer 1TB SSD for a general-purpose machine. Smaller SSDs can be limiting unless you plan to add storage.
• Ports and expandability: Oculink for external GPUs matters if you want a future upgrade path. Multiple display outputs (dual/triple/quad 4K) are essential for multi-monitor setups.
• Networking: Look at Ethernet speed (2.5Gb vs 1Gb) and Wi-Fi generation if you use wireless heavily.

# Bottom line
