Search for “all in one touch screen PC” and Google gives you two very different worlds. On one side are the shiny home machines from HP, Lenovo and Dell sold through Currys and Argos. On the other are bare-bones industrial panel PCs on Amazon with names you’ve never heard of. Somewhere in the middle sit the business touch computers from Elo.
If you’re buying for a reception desk, a school, a warehouse office or an EPOS back office, none of those are quite right. Here’s how the Hibertek BF24, the 23.8″ touch screen all-in-one PC we supply from Leicester, compares.
The quick comparison
| Hibertek BF24 | Consumer AIOs (HP, Lenovo, Dell) | Elo I-Series 3 | Budget Amazon panel PCs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Screen | 23.8″ Full HD, 10-point capacitive touch (non-touch also available) | Mostly 24″ and 27″; touch only on some models | 15″, 17″ and 22″ PCAP touch | 10″ to 27″, quality varies |
| Processor | Intel Core i3, i5 or i7 (up to 65W desktop CPUs) | Mobile-class Intel or AMD chips | Celeron, i3, i5 or i7 | Mostly Celeron N-series or older Core |
| Motherboard | Standard Thin Mini-ITX, so it can be upgraded or replaced | Usually the manufacturer’s own board | Elo design | Varies |
| Business options | Smart card reader, chassis intrusion, camera curtain and anti-spy LED, Kensington lock, VESA | Some business models | Fanless, IP54, built for commercial use | Rarely |
| UK set-up and support | Imaged, tested and asset-tagged in Leicester | Retail warranty | Through resellers | Seller dependent |

Where the others do well
Consumer all-in-ones from HP, Lenovo and Dell look great and are easy to pick up on the high street. For a home office, they’re hard to beat. But they’re built for home and general office use. Touch isn’t standard on every model, and when the board fails out of warranty, a repair often costs more than the machine is worth.
Elo’s I-Series is a proper commercial touch computer. It’s fanless and IP54 rated, and Elo is a respected name in retail. It’s very good kit, but UK retail listings typically put it in the £1,500 to £2,000+ range, which is a lot for a reception desk or classroom.
Budget panel PCs on Amazon are tempting at £300 to £700. They can be fine for a single basic job, but you’re often relying on an overseas seller for spares, drivers and warranty.
Why the BF24 makes sense for business
Desktop power, not laptop parts
The BF24 supports Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 processors up to 65W. That’s desktop-class performance in an all-in-one body, which is ideal for multiple browser tabs, line-of-business software, video calls and back-office EPOS reporting.
A board you can actually upgrade
This is the BF24’s hidden superpower. It’s built around a standard Thin Mini-ITX motherboard with standard SO-DIMM memory slots and space for a 2.5″ SATA drive plus an M.2 SSD. If you need more memory in three years, or a board fails, it can be upgraded or swapped instead of the whole unit going to landfill.
Security built for shared spaces
Reception desks, classrooms and open-plan offices need more than a password. The BF24 can be specified with:
- a smart card reader for secure log-in
- chassis intrusion detection
- a camera curtain and anti-spy LED for privacy
- a Kensington lock slot to stop it walking off.
Touch when you want it
Choose 10-point capacitive touch for kiosks, receptions and classrooms, or save money with the non-touch version for regular desks. Same chassis, same support, same image.
Stands for every desk
It comes with a 2-in-1 stand as standard. A height-adjustable stand and an “I” stand are optional, and VESA mounting lets you put it on a wall or arm.
So which is the best touch screen PC for business?
- Home office or one-off purchase? A consumer AIO from the high street is fine.
- Harsh retail floor or wet environment? Look at a sealed commercial unit like Elo, or a sealed HiStone EPOS terminal such as the HK568.
- Offices, receptions, schools and back offices that want desktop power, real upgradability and UK support? That’s the BF24.
