Lenovo Yoga AIO 32i (32ILL19) Desktop Review: An Elegant All-in-One That Runs Into Some Trouble

The Lenovo Yoga AIO 32i (32ill19) may be a good AIO desktop computer, but it is expensive. It has large, bright displays, provides colorful 4K pictures, and has surprisingly effective hardware – and can run quietly. Even the quadrilateral settings of the audio system are great. But it’s expensive, at $2,809. Given all these elements, it’s more expensive than the sum of its parts, and its performance ends up lagging behind your expectations for money.

Nor will the performance be more than a competent gaming laptop, which costs less than half the cost of the system. Other mini PCs, such as real small M4 Mac mini or Minisforum AI X1 Pro Systems related to CPU performance can be simply beat. The latter system also has a large number of ports and upgrade options; this system does not. While the laptop’s display may be smaller and these mini PCs lack a monitor altogether, the price of either of them leaves a lot of extra budget leeway, and you can still buy one of them The best monitor Go with them for money similar to 32i. While the 32i does have a good screen, it doesn’t compete with the best screen.

To be fair, putting everything into a machine, like the Lenovo Yoga Aio 32i (32ill19) is a kind of elegance, but it’s very impractical to charge it compared to pairing a laptop or Mini PC with a standalone monitor.

At the time of writing, the Lenovo Yoga AIO 32i seems to be available only in the configuration here. Lenovo’s system documentation proposes some other options. That said, there should also be some options for shrinking Intel Core Ultra 7 256V processor, Intel ARC 140V graphics and 16GB of memory.

Spicy, but surrounded by enemies

Lenovo Yoga AIO 32i is a reasonable and effective machine. The Intel Core Ultra 7 258V isn’t the fastest option inside, but it’s a low-power chip with decent core and solid single-core performance. It keeps the system loose while also powering with some moderate workload. With its NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4050 graphics chip, Yoga also finds a huge leg in a competitive, fully reasonable, mini PC and lightweight laptop. In 3DMark tests, it performed more like a gaming laptop than a typical AIO. It ran the tombstone in 1080p, with an average of 96 frames per second. There are two large vents on the sides that set this performance while keeping the whispers in place.

However, this is not the most powerful system – not even targeting other systems, you would question the point of AIO PC. One thing Apple’s $799 M4 Mac mini As far as CPU performance is concerned, with Lenovo flooring on the floor. However, not everyone switches to a Mac just for the performance. When it comes to windows, a few cheap machines still offer higher speeds.

For example, the AMD RYZEN AI 9 HX 370 that matches the $1,229 Minisforum AI X1 Pro above in single-core performance is very powerful in single-core performance and is very powerful for multi-core workloads. However, its integrated GPU doesn’t match Lenovo’s RTX 4050. Here is a similar story, $1,799 minisforum atomman g7 tiexcept for the computer sneaking in a 140-watt RTX 4070 mobile GPU, it blows away the 32i, which usually doubles its graphics performance.

Then there are laptops like the Asus Tuf Gaming A14 and HP Omens More than 14Both are much cheaper than the Lenovo Yoga AIO 32i and are packaged in an RTX 4060 GPU. Not surprisingly, the premium GPU is for both laptops with gaming frameworks at the speed.

Compared to the mini desktop, the Lenovo Yoga AIO 32i does have a large 4K display to justify at least some of its expenses. Even there, that’s the case. $1,000 more than the original price of the Minisforum Atomman G7 Ti (and cheaper now), I wish there was a hell of a 32i monitor. Of course, this is very big. Of course, this is 4K. It’s even bad, offering 625 Nits peak brightness and 96% DCI-P3 coverage, with a maximum DE1976 of 1.82. This is a nice IPS display and I’m happy with it for $300. However, with only 60Hz refresh rate and such a modest contrast of 1,360:1 compared to other non-AIO options, it does not obtain price differences separately compared to other non-AIO options.

There are still some problems. Bluetooth connection is a bit annoying. The system comes with a basic wireless mouse and keyboard, but despite being still in use, they are still disconnected from the computer. There seems to be no way to wake them up and restart Bluetooth in Windows settings and restart both peripherals. The problem also occurs with third-party Bluetooth devices, so the computer’s Bluetooth module or driver may blame the Bluetooth module.

I also encountered a strange, though temporary graphics failure. Many elements of the screen will become blurred, as if the resolution is decreasing. There are other graphics-related issues, but although they appear outside of my chrome range, they seem to be solved by disabling hardware acceleration in Chrome. Check later, even if I re-enabled hardware acceleration, it still disappeared. Basically, this PC seems to be able to update with firmware.

From the front, the speakers can pull out a lot of volume and it sounds great. However, when speakers emit loud sounds at higher volume levels, they distort with the chassis resonance, creating unpleasant noise. This seems to have some interaction with the Dolby Atmos setup. Adjusting them from dynamic defaults to off or warm music settings helps a lot. In those cases, the speaker’s volume and surprisingly influential bass were once again impressed.

That said, I do wish Lenovo was bigger given the overall size offered by the 32-inch screen. Two 5-watt woofers and two 2-watt tweeters are close to each other. Two speakers are on the base and two are on the back of the stand connected monitor. For different stereo sounds, this does not have a horizontal space.

It can almost pass through the monitor

Judging from the appearance of the Lenovo Yoga AIO 32i, you almost think it’s just a display. Most of the space it takes on is used for a 32-inch thick 32-inch display. It’s also pretty, standing on a round base with a large metal ring (looks a bit like a giant roll of paper).

The base comes with computer hardware, though sadly, it’s too clever to accommodate power supplies. Therefore, the system relies on a large 300-watt electric brick. The base has feet lifting it up, preventing it from sliding and creating a little gap for air intake. On the two grilles on both sides, the heat is exhausted. Lenovo had to level the rear edge of the originally round base to fit the port. These include a 10Gbps USB-C port and a Thunderbolt 4-compatible USB-C port, as well as two 10GBPS USB-A ports, a 3.5mm audio jack, an HDMI 2.1 port (for video, not IN) and Power Jack. This is a bit disappointing because it is actually I/O for the laptop. Since all of this is oriented and there is a 32-inch monitor, it’s hard to get there.

Just as stylish as a display rack, it is not the most capable one. The monitor can be tilted up and down a few degrees, but that’s all. There is no height adjustment, rotation or pivot, which is another series of taps for a standalone monitor paired with a standalone PC or laptop. At least the foundation has interesting details, with a 15-watt wireless charging pad built in.

Above the screen is a 5-megapixel webcam with an IR sensor for facial recognition. This has a fairly wide view and allows easy access to the frame. However, this webcam is only displayed on Windows as a 1080p camera, and the video is rather granular. There is also a physical switch on the side of the base to deactivate the webcam, which is a great touch. The two microphones are not that hot to pair with the camera. My voice sounded like it was recorded through a cardboard box.

Another drawback of the 32i’s AIO design is its upgradeability of recent laptops, which means it almost doesn’t exist. The storage has only one M.2 slot and is already filled. The memory is soldered, so there is no upgrade. When the system is no longer sufficient for future computing needs, you have to replace the entire content even if the display, speaker, camera, and microphone are still viable. That’s the price you pay to wrap everything in an elegant package. I just hope the price is not that high.
