I. Introduction
Mushrooms have been in a bit of a situation lately, basically staying at home every day, eating, drinking, playing, sleeping every day, which is very fulfilling. The neighbor downstairs of the mushroom is a high school teacher, and the recent period is relatively busy, every day in the preparation of lessons, test papers, homework, classes, is also very fulfilling.
But his main work before was offline, face-to-face, and now after switching to online, the equipment problem is very troublesome. At the beginning, I came to find mushrooms, borrowed a few computers, and the camera was replaced by a mobile phone, and the overall experience was very general. Later, it was really not possible, and this online class thing, a moment and a half will not necessarily end, just want the whole host.
His needs are very simple, that is, to be able to attend classes, plus usually do some simple grading test papers, homework and other needs, the overall requirements for performance are very simple. But he has a lot of books at home, all books on and under the desk, very sensitive to volume, and finally decided to set the whole all-in-one machine.
There are many all-in-one products on the market, and after some selection, I chose MSI's Pro AP241. The configuration of MSI's all-in-one machine is very interesting, with a camera, and it is a camera with a microphone, which directly meets his most just needs. And this all-in-one machine has a barebony system version, which can use some old hardware to further reduce the installed cost.
Second, MSI Pro AP241 all-in-one machine unboxing

▼ Simple running points, the whole machine score of 61.2W, of which the processor 43.2W, graphics card 5W, not bad.
▼ Simply look at the parameters, MSI this H510 board is quite fierce, the background is in the next thing, 11900K actually single core can easily turbo frequency 5.3GHz, full core 4.9GHz, feel a little too small.
▼ Simple run a test, single core 559.8, multi-core 3643.1, multi-core this limit power consumption, no way.
▼ Memory is a single channel 4GB, normal use is indeed less, and then consider adding another one, or directly replaced by 8G *2.
▼ Simple to run a test, single-channel memory is indeed average, read and write is 16000MB/s.
▼M2 SSD is located on the south bridge of the motherboard, and the standby temperature performance is not low, with 65 ° C. However, the spatial performance of the M2 solid state position is OK, and the entire M2 heat sink with fan active heat dissipation is considered later, so that the temperature of the M2 solid state is reduced.
▼Although the temperature of the solid state is high, the performance performance is not bad, and the sequence reading can run up to 2600MB/s.
▼ Finally this camera can be very convenient to take down, do some video close-up.
▼ Usually in class to talk about a test paper, this camera can easily locate the position of the test paper, closer to the actual use of the situation.
7. Summary
MSI's Pro AP241 all-in-one machine is still very good, the size is very small, the host is cleverly integrated inside a 24-inch display, the volume control is great, and the built-in speakers and the SIDE add USB interface are some very practical configurations.
In terms of performance, MSI has customized a dedicated H510 motherboard for it, equipped with desktop 10th and 11th generation intel processors, and the power supply part is used by DrMos, which can easily cope with the performance of i5-level non-K processors. In terms of memory, it supports dual-channel DDR4 notebook memory, which is small in size and affordable in price. In terms of storage expansion, this motherboard has an M2 interface and two SATA interfaces, which can usually be very convenient to expand storage. Although there is only one 2.5-inch hard disk slot inside, the 2.5-inch SSD is very simple to fix, and it can be easily done with direct double-sided tape.
In terms of accessories, MSI also has an original camera, and it is a camera with an array microphone. Whether it is a teacher or a student, this all-in-one machine can be used to attend classes or listen to lectures, perfect.
However, there are still some places that need to be polished in terms of details, such as the powered Mos is exposed, and the M2 solid state is directly pressed on the south bridge.
By the way, the 10th generation, 11th generation Intel's nuclear display is indeed not very powerful, but it seems to have heard that the same all-in-one machine is also equipped with APU version, the nuclear display performance is much stronger, and it is still very easy to cope with various online games. Ordinary families buy an APU version of the all-in-one machine, to meet the simple audio and video entertainment is still very good.
Thank you!
