HP Compaq 6000 Pro

All-in-One desktops generally have a tough time fitting into the Business realm. While convenient space-savers, they're generally pricier than similarly equipped tower models. But more importantly, those svelte chassis come at the cost of internal access -- often a deal breaker for IT departments that need unfettered access to their machines. The HP Compaq 6000 Pro joins a rather brief list of Business-centric All-in-Ones. At $1139 (as of 2/15/2011) it's not quite as cost-effective as some of the consumer-oriented Budget towers or All-in-Ones on our charts. To say nothing of the Sandy Bridge equipped offerings on our Mainstream charts -- the Micro Express MicroFlex 25B dips as low as $850. That said, the Compaq 6000 Pro does have a few IT friendly tricks up its sleeve. Packed behind the 21.5-inch display is a 3GHz Core 2 Duo processor -- a stalwart part, though positively ancient. Coupled with 4GB of DDR3 RAM, it earned a WorldBench 6 score of 116. From a performance stand point, this puts it right at the top of the Budget All-in-One category.
