What Are All in One Computers?

An all in one computer consolidates all of the elements of a desktop computer – display, tower, keyboard, and mouse – into a single package. All in one computers are specifically designed to meet all of your computing needs in packages that are slim and compact, easy to set up, easy to use, and easy to maintain. You can think of an all in one PC as the desktop equivalent of a laptop; it includes everything you need in a single box. This provides for a more enjoyable and accessible user experience.

What is an All in One PC?

An all in one PC is an all in one computer that runs Microsoft's Windows operating system (for example, Apple's iMac is an all-in-one solution as well, but it utilizes Apple's proprietary OS, so is not typically considered a "PC" even though it is still a personal computer). For individuals who are accustomed to Windows, and who are seeking a compact and intuitive system that is easy to set up and use, an all in one PC is the obvious solution.

Benefits of an All in One Computer

For the average consumer, an all in one computer will be the ideal choice, and that is because they are truly "turn key" solutions.

All in one computers are smartly packaged, beautifully designed, comprehensive solutions that pair the power of desktop computers with the usability of laptops. For the average consumer, an all in one (or AIO) is often a better solution than a traditional tower computer, due to its ease of use.

What Is an All-In-On (AIO) PC?

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.

Key Takeaways

  • All-in-One (AIO) PCs are personal computers that have incorporated many components of a traditional desktop computer into a single, compact unit.
  • These streamlined PCs can be more efficient, space-saving, and intuitive for users but have not seen significant sustained demand among consumers.
  • The downsides of AIO PCs include a lack of customizability, more difficult repairs and service, and a more expensive purchase price.

Understanding All-In-On (AIO) PCs

Traditional desktop computers have a monitor and a separate computer case that holds the motherboard, hard drive, and all other components. AIO PCs differ, storing all components, bar the keyboard and mouse, into the monitor.

Many AIO PCs feature integrated touch screen monitors, touch-pads, and solid-state disk drives and memory. They tend to have a smaller profile than other desktop computers, reduce clutter, and come with sleek designs.

AIO PCs originally date back to the 1980s. The Apple iMac, which debuted in 1998, has been hailed as the first popular AIO. Other leading technology companies such as Dell, Lenovo, HP, and Microsoft also built early AIO PCs.

Benefits of All-In-On (AIO) PCs

AIO PCs offer several advantages over traditional desktop computers. Aside from saving desk space and having fewer cables, they are considered to be user-friendly and pleasant to use, thanks in part to their large, touch-screen interfaces.

These types of PCs are also renowned for typically offering as much or more performance than a laptop or other mobile computer.

Limitations of All-In-On (AIO) PCs

AIO PCs are not perfect, either. Because they use components designed for mobile computers to keep their size small, AIO PCs tend to be more expensive and not always to the same level of performance as standard desktops.

They also sometimes struggle to compete against perhaps their biggest competitors of today—laptop computers. Laptops have become the standard for most business and consumer users, thanks to their portability. While it's possible to lug AIO PCs around, this task is made much easier with a laptop.

Another notable flaw is that AIO PCs can be difficult to upgrade or add components to because of their small size. If a component breaks, consumers must replace the entire AIO computer.
