Processor

The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is like the brains of your desktop computer. Its performance determines how fast and responsive your PC is. Generally, a processor with newer architecture, more CPU cores, higher TDP (measured in W), and faster clock speed (measured in GHz) tends to be more expensive and run faster than others with older architecture, fewer CPU cores, lower TDP, and lower clock speed.

For Dell Inspiron 24 5400 All-in-One, you have options to configure it with a 28W 11th Generation Intel Tiger Lake UP3 dual-core Intel Core i3-1115G4 up to a 28W quad-core Intel Core i7-1165G7 with a boost speed up to 4.70 GHz.

While Lenovo IdeaCentre A540 AIO (24”, Intel) has configurations with a 35W 9th Generation Intel Coffee Lake quad-core Intel Core i3-9100T up to a 35W 8-core Intel Core i7-9700T with a boost speed up to 4.30 GHz.

Memory

The Random Access Memory or RAM is the super-fast and temporary storage used to handle all active tasks, apps, and games that will go away when your PC turns off. The more memory your PC has, the better multitasking your PC can handle without having to reload data from slower permanent storage that includes the hard disk drive or solid-state drive.

Both PCs have the same amount of two RAM slots meaning that you upgrade later if you are unsatisfied with the amount of memory on your PC. You can upgrade memory on Dell Inspiron 24 5400 All-in-One up to 32GB of 2666MHz dual-channel DDR4 memory.

Ports

Computer ports are the interface for connecting your PC to its peripheral devices or other PCs. The most common peripherals are keyboard, mouse, monitor, flash drive, speaker, and printer.
