That’s right, you can get what TechRadar called the best all-in-one computer, and as the one who reviewed it, I still stand by my recommendation, for just $1,149 (was $1,299). You also get to choose your color – Blue, Green, Pink, or Silver – with the entry-level SKU, which includes the M4 Chip, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage.

What we like: Our top pick for the best Android tablet. Has a long-lasting battery and Google’s latest processor, which allows it to capably handle gaming, streaming media, and light work tasks. Its 5,000 mAh battery lasts days on a charge and can draw power from USB-C .

But one way you can lighten the load is to just start with a gaming laptop, which packs in everything you need to get started in PC gaming without all the extra pieces. Of course, gaming laptops can be expensive, too, but plenty of budget options also exist.
