Both tests yield a proprietary numeric score higher numbers are better.Īll things are about equal on PCMark 10, an important test for this type of computer. PCMark 8, meanwhile, has a storage subtest that we use to assess the speed of the system's boot drive. We use it to assess overall system performance for office-centric tasks such as word processing, spreadsheet work, web browsing, and videoconferencing. The PCMark 10 test we run simulates different real-world productivity and content-creation workflows. PCMark 10 and 8 are holistic performance suites developed by the PC benchmark specialists at UL (formerly Futuremark). (The Core i5 CPUs in the Acer Aspire and HP Envy entries are six-core chips the older Core i3 and the Ryzen 3 in the HP Pavilion and Lenovo models are four-core, four-thread CPUs like the Core i3-9100.) Productivity and Storage Tests That will be evident below in CPU-intensive tests such as Cinebench and Handbrake. Note that the Core i3-9100 processor in the Dell is a four-core chip that does not support Hyper-Threading, so four processing threads is all that it can tackle in multi-threaded software. The HP Envy Desktop (TE01-014) is the only one notably more expensive at $749, so judge accordingly.

Going by the as-tested prices of each unit, the Acer Aspire TC-885-UA92 ($548.57), the HP Pavilion Desktop (TP01-0014) ($499), and the Lenovo IdeaCentre 510A ($499) are all comparable to the Inspiron 3471.
