Is The All In 1 Desktop The Way To Go?

- Roshan

I have been thinking about it for a while now. Is the all-in-one desktop the way to go as far as home computing is concerned?

All-in-One PCs (AIO PCs) are streamlined desktop computers that integrate all of the components of a traditional desktop computer, except for the keyboard and mouse, into one single unit. Traditional desktop computers have a monitor and separate the computer case that holds the motherboard, hard drive, and all other components. Many AIO PCs have integrated touch screen monitors, touch-pads, and solid-state disk drives and memory. AIO PCs have a smaller profile than other desktop computers, reduce clutter and feature sleek designs.

Versus a regular desktop it does save space and look sleeker. However the disadvantages are :

  • The AIO computer has the less powerful components compared to the desktop.
  • All In One computer normally comes with the laptop version of CPU which generates the less power.

I’ve actually been thinking about getting an upgrade to a desktop but now sure if I should go for an all in one.
