Asus Vivo AiO V222GB V222GBK-BA021T (90PT0221-M00310)

Appearance is important

A cursory examination of popular monoblocks suggests that this story is primarily about a nice design, not powerful hardware. And the Asus Vivo AiO line, which is one of the most popular on the market, is an excellent confirmation of this. This is a computer that you want to put in the most prominent place on the table.

A display that designers will love

The Asus Vivo AiO V222GB is based on a high-quality IPS screen with Full HD resolution, a diagonal of 21.5" and a colour space coverage of 100% sRGB. Designers should be happy. Along the perimeter of the block there is a barely noticeable glossy edging of 2 mm — the display here is really frameless.

Frameless screen

The thin screen is mounted on an elegant flat leg with a hinge. It is moderately rigid, well fixed in any position. The back panel is made of soft-touch matte plastic, which will not show any dust, fingerprints or other marks.

Complete set of connections

On the back are the main connection interfaces: 4 USB 3.1 gen1 connectors, an HDMI port for connecting an additional monitor or projector, and an Ethernet connector for direct connection to the network. There are also Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 wireless modules. In general, the equipment is quite modern, there is no acute shortage of something, you could only add USB-C. But there is an additional USB port on the front panel, which makes life a little easier.

Decent iron for your money

In terms of hardware, we have a clear correspondence to the price of $ 400 with a tail of dollars: a quad-core Pentium with an operating frequency range of 1.5 GHz — 2.8 GHz, 4 GB of DDR4 RAM and a 500 GB hard drive. At the same time, the manufacturer took care of the upgrade space by equipping the model with an additional slot for RAM and an M.2 connector for installing a fast SSD drive.

Handyman

Vivo AiO V222GB is perfect for people who frequently use multimedia applications. Firstly, it uses a fairly high-quality SonicMaster audio system, which provides a fairly clear and powerful sound with minimal distortion. Secondly, unlike many monoblocks, here we have not an integrated video chip, but a full-fledged GeForce MX110 graphics card, which will allow you to play not too demanding games like Dota2 or FIFA.
