Reason 5: All-in-ones save space
Reason 4: All-in-ones take up less space

My little mini tower hardly takes up more space than his mac

Why would I want a Laptop without a battery?
RRW who would ?
+RRW i dont use my laptop battery cuz i dont use a laptop
BioLizard Venom True, but I can at least there is a reason to use one. They have literally everything AIO PC's have for the same price and the ability to be portable.
yea
Im staying with my desktop
All In One Pc
For People Who can't hook up
A Personal Computer
Frollzor64 No it's people who don't have the time
shut up bender idiot you havbe lot of cable
What's a laptop for then?
There are touchscreen monitors that you can plug directly into a desktop.
So like an iPad pro with a box connected to it?
Takalangi Katoa wtf no, the iPad Pro is garbage compared to windows. Your knowledge of computers is hilarious
5&4) They take up less space until you start adding all the external drives you need to use to supplement the non-expandable drive space in all-in-ones. Then there are the cables to interconnect these necessary external devices.
3) The people I know that move their AIOs around also tend to send them into the shop to replace cracked screens on a regular basis. If you need to move a lot, stick to a laptop.
2) You are really reaching to try and fill out this list.
1) Not on your iMAC. And there are touch and pen screens available for towers.
chrisose Gave your comment a thumbs up for the cracked screens comment!
FrugalTech Thanks. I know one person who has spent enough on glass on her iMAC that she could have paid for a laptop by now. This doesn't take into account the time lost.
@@TheBoomerConsumer thanks for being a sensible guy and definitely not the "one size fits all" type
Interesting,
till now I thought that the only good way to go is a desktop.
But recently I came up with the thought, what is against a all in one?
Because I'm feeling that I don't need that much computer power for the everyday tasks.
And I like it to keep everything clean and tidy.
So a all in one could be a solution?
Welp when new processer came out and you wanna change the cpu in all-in-one pc , *GOODLUCK*
Traditional desktop is better not all in one.
***** Who in their right mind would not agree :)
***** Truth
***** Even a totally crazy person can agree with you on this one :D
***** For example somebody who'd disagree. There is a market for all-in-ones and a lot of multimedia "creative" people use and favor all-in-ones and iMac in particular. I'm a Linux user who has built a lot of desktops, but I have to disagree with your sweeping generalization.
Seahawks2014 As is your right.
For your first two points, Space Saving, firstly you could get either a mini-ITX/micro-ATX sized case which would take up much less room than a mid-tower or full-tower case, or hell you could get a tiny desktop NUC or an HDMI NUC and you are done. For cable management you could just get a wireless keyboard and mouse and take an extra 10 minutes to cable manage you PC and wiring to the display. For your third point of you being able to carry it, many small form-factor cases such as mini-ITX/micro-ATX offer carrying handles, that I know of at least. Or if you have a NUC, those things are really small and easy to carry or move around. For your minor point on the aesthetics there are badass looking gaming PC's that look crazy amazing, liquid cooling, full RGB lighting, or there are simple "silent" PC's that are flat looking, I'm basically saying they look stealthly, not many jagged parts, a billion and a half screws easily visibile, etc. For your media center point, yes I have to agree with you there, but a NUC or something like a Chromcast, Apple TV, a Roku, etc, work as well. For you final point, touch-screens, I have to agree with you there, I've only seen All-in-Ones, convertibles, and laptops have touch screens. Interesting video Dave!! Though I will have stick with my desktop and laptop set up.
guys please help me out shall i get an all in one pc or a laptop for gaming, please tell me whats better
I feel like an idiot buying in all in one pc, cause I know that Desktop PC's are better than All in One PC's.
Nick Swartz desk top pc

I ordered desktop pc they gave me all in one pc
Nick Swartz my mom got an all in one for about $780 when she could've gotten a pc for the same or less and I wanted to get a gaming pic or be able to upgrade it but you can't upgrade an all in one and the game graphics look soooooo bad(Fortnite looks 8 bit)
The Imploding Pugs OMG dude I'm in the exact same situation, immunity dad bought a AIO pc and gaming is so bad on it. Now I have to save up two years for a good gaming pc
The Imploding Pugs Same
Trying To Buy A New Setup... Im finding all these IAO's for sub thousand with the same specs as towers but being cheaper. Am i really losing anything?
hp pavilion is nice $900 6 core, but if it breaks how do you fix and you dont have to build it also vs $1200 custom tower
can you transfer HP touch smart 310 motherboards and HDD drive etc into a pc tower base desktop.
My HD on my HP Envy is failing after about 5 years. Looking at the video on doing this task, there is a high chance of failure due to broken components. The screen on mine is attached with adhesive and there is a high likelihood of breaking the screen. I'm going to buy a Tower.
good points whatever gets the job done is good
can my viewpaker 21.5 have more than 2 hard drives?
Would you be able to attach an external monitor so you have duel monitors on an all in one
it depends on the all in one, some come with an HDMI out port for extended display some don't.
What happened? Are they available with desktop processor?
I am considering one to cut down on space, cables, and heat. I could build a PC but I don't need to for what I want to do.
How often do you need to move either one? Not often at all.
Are all in ones good for music production? Ableton Live
Sir, i would like to use second monitor for my AIO PC. My PC is Lenovo S500Z (www3.lenovo.com/id/in/desktops/lenovo-desktops/lenovo-s-series-aios/Lenovo-S500z/p/11LS1SZ500Z) . I use it for office use. Do you have any suggestion what monitor should i buy ? I prefer Lenovo Monitor. Thank you sir.
Good for use in the kitchen and for kids. Great touch screen experience its like a big tablet.
Can you play games on all in one pc?
Does that mean that they are similar to laptops?
Hello, I'm not a computer geek and I need somebody geeky enough to answer my question :-) I have a Dell XPS One 27 XPSo27-6476BK 27-Inch Touch All-in-One Desktop and its hard drive went on the blink soon after I upgraded to Windows 10. I'm assuming that repairing it would cost as much as purchasing a new computer. I want to know if I can plug in a tower to the monitor and have it work from that external tower? And if I can, what cable to I need? Thanks.
if it has an hdmi in port you can plug it into a pc and use it as a regular monitor
the bad thing about mine is that i dont have a usb cable socket to get duel moniters
does all in one cp can modified?
if you're someone who isn't a computer expert but just need a simple computer to get stuff done, I'd say an all in one is perfectly fine for you. Obviously it depends on the type of work you are doing but if you're not doing anything intensive, a less cluttered, simpler AIO machine is probably better for you. That being said, you can still build a relatively compact tower PC with better performance as long as you're willing to do the research and work. Building a PC isn't as complicated as it sounds. It just takes a bit of research. I don't think one is 'better' than the other. It's just a matter of preference. An AIO is priced higher because of the higher cost of manufacturing.
ttrue
Thank you for making me read.
Does all in one computer support software like solid works?
@@majestickarthick People buy them for software works
Can you add a second screen to the All in One Pc. Touch screen or not. Thanks
depends on the all in one some have HDMI out ports some dont...
Where is the cd tray?
So AIO are semi-portable computers that cannot be modified? I think I'll get one :)
should i buy a laptop or a AOI it sounds like AOI is just desktop form of a laptop
A laptop if on the go, a proper desktop if it’s going to remain stationary. And yes for the most part AIOs are just a form of a laptop.
I thought about this not having a battery like a laptop and what I realized is I hardly ever lack a power source for my laptop. Meaning it doesn't need a battery. My phone pretty much is my laptop when Im a passenger in a car. I do take a laptop to school but I immediately plug it up so why is a laptop so much more convenient than this? It's not. Desktops while being more reliable will have you paying way more for the same thing with cords and less mobility. So while a desktop will last longer more than likely. An all in one makes up for it with cost and all in one's like the Lenovo C40 are up-gradable. So I am currently deciding whether I want to buy a new laptop, all in one, or desktop. I have given myself a budget of $500. Can anyone tell me why I shouldn't get an all in one and if not then what should I buy? I currently see a Lenovo C40-05 Windows 8.1 8gb Ram 1 TB HDD 8 for $429 on Amazon. Is there a deal where I can get all of that on a Desktop or Laptop for the same price?
You can build a smaller form factor of desktop PC and also using same wireless technology. Then you can save space, less clutter and cables, also more pleasing aesthetic (some even vesa mount), and can be used as media center alternatives... but still retain most pros of full sized desktop pc.
I've owned two iMacs, the potential for hardware failure is enough of a reason I'll never buy an all-in-one again. Too damn difficult or expensive to fix. (among several other reasons but that's my top one).
Joseph Dickson All in one computers are basically a laptop inside a monitor
Thomas Cavanagh for the most part yes. Which is why is just go with a laptop and dock it before getting another all in one
I agree with both postings. As a retired Unix System Administrator, and therefor a "ProSumer" who has lived through all of the hardware "revision" since 1972, I have had both (all 3) environment at home, usually at the same time. (The third environment being the Laptop and now Tablet.) I have both built my own Windows box and been through virtually every model Apple has offered.
Currently my systems are a 2010 27 inch iMac, an iPad Air, and an iPhone.
I have always proselytized the concept -- when buying a new computer -- buy the "top of th line" available at the time. Or if money is an issue, wait until Fall when the new models come out and buy last years top of the line at a discount!
Interestingly, I have had more component failure issues with my custom built Windows box (a Tom's Hardware design) than with the iMac. I happen to also have a collection of external disk drives -- both for redundancy and performance issues. Historically, all were FireWire 800, but now that I'm retired, I'm drooling over the latest crop of Solid State Drives, which are approaching my price/performance range. My primary usage is gaming and have been a LOTRO player since launch back in 2007!
As a person working in IT support in a University i like much more the all in one computers. First they use less power and when you have over 1000 computers in a building that is a huge bonus. Second these days tech is super fast where an laptop i3 and and ssd with 16GB of ram can do all the things an avrage work computer needs. It can open many excells, have a lot of chrome tabs open, use external network storage. They are super clean when installed, little to none cables, much more conviniente for cleaning as well since they all are the same unit and to be honest they are super repariable. Compared to laptops they are super eazy to open and fix. Since they are big they dont suffer that much from overheating.
Dont get me wrong desktops are more powerfull but are bigger, require a monitor and a lot more cables. For an AIO i run 4 cables: power, ethernet and mouse and keyboard. Super elegant. They also have built in BT where i can just connect theme to the tv directly if in a regular classroom or onto a projector in amphetherers. Yes i do understand that i can get an external adapter but trust me this is the ultimate solution
All in ones are beautiful and very neat. If you're not going for raw power they're a great option. Design and space wise they are a clear winner. That said I have a monster tower and monster 4K to.... but it's no way nearly as pretty.
Great to see you both working together... I'm subscribed to both of you and am a fan of both of you as well. :)
I understand your point of view and for the reasons you stated, I can agree about those reasons for a good feature(s) RE: All-In-Ones, But,
1) As a long time fan of tinkering, and having considered All-In-Ones, here's my take:
All-In-Ones
a) Can't come close to the versatility of a Desk Top...
b) Cooling options for Highly Powered Needed Tasks aren't as viable...
c) Upgrades RE: Work aren't as possible when needed...
d) Touch isn't really a functional aspect of a person's normal body function in the position of a All-In-One position... I believe even Steve Jobs talked of this misfunctionality of the 8.1 ideas from Microsoft, etc... RE: being able to use one's hands, a stylus, etc...
There's more, but for the sake of brevity, I'll stop now... on This...
I do like the idea of All-In-Ones, just not the actual functionality and power that a Desk Top can give me for many reasons.
A Fan of Yours As Well,
Wolfy :)
they do have touchscreen monitors, but they are expensive and some are of poor quality
I have an acer aspire all in one with an I5. Beautiful 1080p and fairly easy to travel with.
u can buy touch screen monitors for towers. A buddy of mine bought a 34in touch screen monitor for his tower and it works great for him but I'm not interested In touch monitors.
agree on the space thing. Absolutely MUCH easier to move an all in one, than it is to move a tower computer. I mean...you do have to vacuum once in a while, and the last thing I want to have to do is unplug ten things just so I can vacuum out one cubic foot worth of space, and then put all that crap back together.
for me its just how good is the fan to keep it cool most stock fan,s aren,t that good ?
you can build your own all in one just buy a laptop with a broken LCD and buy a strap so you can strap it too your Tv and connect it to VGA or HDMI depends on your laptop now you have a all in one
I have been using an all in one system for years, love it.
Most Desktop Towers are more powerful though they have way bigger PSU my Desktop has a 600 watt PSU and it's very powerful plus you can do more upgrades on a tower than you can on a All-in one
I disagree with the argument of artists preferring touchscreen options, they'd be much more likely to go with something like a Wacom Cintiq which offers proper pressure sensitivity and what not.
Can you update your all in one pc?
Not really
Cool collaboration idea.
Richard Dale Thanks Richard
Cool idea on the channels! Nice job on the point counter point!
C Perry Thanks very mch
That's an insanely great idea, i'm confused with the channels... lol ;-)
DJLsb Vapes It's my first collaboration. Hope you like it
FrugalTech I don't like it.. I love it! Well done gentlemen.
Carson Clark Thanks Carson
Bruce Naylor need help, my son didn't make a backup the computer is not working and you're wondering if it's the motherboard do you have any idea thank you. we need help because we cannot boot the computer up any ideas?
A tip: you can watch series at KaldroStream. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies these days.
I actually brought my iMac with me, I'm watching my Aunt's dogs for a week. Didn't feel like using my old MacBook all week after work.
Did you, Mr. Content Creator, give permission to Cengage to use your videos in their paid courses? I'm watching it now and I had to pay over a hundred to unlock the course this video is in.
All very good points.
Did you know this video is being used as apart of a Cengage Module?
All In Ones are basically motherboards built in to a monitor.
I heard that people keep "stubbing their toes" on their tower.
It's called KEEP IT OFF THE FLOOR (My desktop tower is on a desk.)
You couldn't have said it better that all in one desktop PCs gets rid of the clutter especially with cables.
At least he said building a desktop is cheaper. Respect man, respect
The only kind of semi-all in one I'll use is on-chip based stuff, or halfbreeds like the Raspberry Pi. Other than that, it's gotta be as modular as possible.
***** Ditto
The power my system deliveres isn't avalable in all-in-one. I also need the upgradability which is way to limited on a all-in-one. I have a large work desk, plenty of room for a large system. My system is also dead silent due to watercooling. I also choose my components very carefully, I demand top-tier quality components.
Even for a regular consumer might be better off with a small ITX case and a monitor instead of a all-in-one.
I just got the dell 27 aio because i love the design, size and features.
The price was just €779,- down from €1079,- for a i5 11th gen with iris xe graphics, 512gb nvme (optional 2.5hdd expansion), 8gb ram(1 dimm slot open) and a HDMI in.
If i was going to build a pc myself with the same kind of specs it would already be around €700,- with peripherals.
So the price difference was too small to even consider a normal desktop.
I'm not much of a gamer and the expansion slots for extra ram and another hard drive is enough for my family as it's going to be mainly used for schoolwork and my administration.
If you are a gamer a tower is much better and probably a cheap Ryzen setup which has a better upgrade path.
Even all-in-one desktops are antiquated devices. Most people don't even need one. If someone thinks they really need a desktop (but don't), an all-in-one is at least less antiquated than a tower and monitor setup. There is something an all-in-one offers that a box doesn't... and I, an owner of a Mac Pro (the tower, not the 2013 Mac Pro), am saying this. I like all-in-one computers; in fact, my first real machine was an iMac G5 that I got in late 2004. So much better than that c@ppy Compaq tower and CRT we had prior.
(Oh, BTW, I futz with my tower way more than I do with my all-in-one. There is more to futz with, whether it be the user making work for himself or needing to do work. An all-in-one offers a great user experience without much care for the product itself. My 2005 iMac G5 [this is not the 2004 one I mentioned] has been--knock on wood--working fine for the past 10 years. NOTHING has gone wrong with it at all, and it just works a dream. It fits comfortably on a desk, has nice speakers and 20" display, slot-loading super drive, webcam/mic, etc. I tried running a tower in its place, but I got sick of the clutter and the fact that I ended up messing with the tower more than with the all-in-one. I've never had to change anything on the all-in-one. All I did was add some more RAM recently.
Thanks was helpful
how to keep all in one pc cool
My all in one has touchscreen 23.8 inch screen
Niiiiceeeee
You didn't need to go with a mac for video editing. Premiere is pretty much the most used editing software and it works just as good on a PC as a Mac. Besides that those extra money you can use on your PC will make the experience even better when editing because of a better GPU, more ram or better CPU :)
I have both, I love my Samsung All in one, but i just got my New Gaming Tower PC (Cybertron Hellion X1) 2 weeks ago.
Bigsteelguy4 Congtats on that new machine
It is interesting and right few days ago I decided to buy a all in one. I actually think is more interesting comparing a all in one with a laptop as they are in a way more similar, for example..what made me opt for a All in one is a bigger monitor and the fact I can choose the keyboard that I prefer, in this case a nice mechanical keyboard...so if you don't need to carry the computer with you wherever you go but you keep it in the house, maybe moving it just from one room to another, All in one are the way to go...thank you anyway for uploading...cheers!
Considering I have a Cosmos 2 Ultra tower. Think 2001 space odyssey monolith...
I am pretty sure we dont share the same view of what good aesthetics are. LoL
All in one is okay for simplistic office work, but otherwise a good tower. Possible supplemented with a traveling laptop is the way to go, I think. Btw, you actually need good hardware to do heavy video rendering fast.
Lobos222 I like it
I have a DELL all in one, and it works just fine for my needs. Space saving was an issue for me. Also I will be getting a good lap top computer as a back up computer to my all in one should something go wrong with it. My guess is that in the future all computers will be all in ones, and the tower will get smaller and smaller before it disappears completely.
Hi, after owning it, would you still recommend an all in one computer?
@@sisno2619 My all in one still works just fine for my needs. Some people seem to prefer a computer tower because they say it is easier to replace parts and upgrade those.
Also, with an all in one computer, if the screen (monitor) goes bad you may have to replace the entire computer, where as with a computer that has a tower, you would only need to buy a new monitor.
The way I look at it is essentially most people are already using all in one computers because that is what laptop computers are. Also, I am not a mac user, but as I understand them, all mac desktops are all in one computers already. Please correct me if I am wrong about that.
So if you need to save space and you do not have a specific reason for wanting or needing a desktop with a tower, I would still recommend an all in one computer.
@@blueBlackpurple Thank you so much
@@sisno2619 You are welcome. I would also recommend doing some research on the pros and cons of an all-in-one computer vs a desktop with a tower vs a laptop computer.
All 3 of those options are good options depending on what your computer needs and wants are.
It is always good to hear what some other people say about all-in-ones before deciding if it is a good choice for you or not. Of course you will make the final decision based on what you think is best for you.
@@blueBlackpurple I definitely agree. I asked a few people and they were really against AIOs. I decided that I would get a desktop with a tower
Mine came with a touchscreen and a real sense camera
When ya make a whkch is better video puts some info in about performance n that in maybe
Can you play gta or the sims on an All in one
It depends
Love this
Jestice Brown Thanks Jestice
AIO main advantage is space saving the rest is a disadvantage. Although a HTPC is a better alternative than an AIO.
I had a tower and it was cool but sucked, cords everywhere and such a huge space.
It is still comes down to one thing. I tell everyone this simple thing. It is between a want and a need. Do you need a desktop OR all in one PC. It is all what helps you to do the job.
Krzysztof Blazejewicz Very True
I'm looking at the AiO as a portable solution to music production.
Laptops are great an all, but if you have access to say a gen 3 laptop with an average GPU AND an AiO with a Gen 4 and inbuilt graphics.... You're going to see and feel a difference on the GPU devoid gen 4. I've checked - the numbers are clear.
The cost of getting a laptop with killer performance, especially on a budget is almost an ovymoron - AiO PCs will help that deficiency
I do understand what he's saying I guess it depends on the user because I really can't see myself buying an AIO pc since the performance can never match up to a real custom PC. Some people might not care about performance but for people who want the best performance for the money a Custom PC is the way to go IMO. if you guys want Clean looks and just using a machine for light tasks I guess the AIO would be the best for you.
Well that aged fast
I only came here for performance wise
if space is really a concern and u wanna carry around, why not a laptop? isnt it more intuitively and naturally easier ? plus laptops can be brought around outside which AIO cant! to me , its a no brainer, either desktop for power or a laptop for mobility. AIO is like a tablet's existence, unnecessarily.
Computing Forever Dave, yea know I wonder when Apple will embrace touch screens? Mind you I hate fingerprints and glossy screens, but with Launchpad and some minor Min/Max buttons changes. OS X could work well as a touch based OS. IMHO..
Computing Forever Yep, noticed that countless times before..
I will stick to my desktop PC build.
I don't understand how buying, non upgradable laptops in something which is kept on a desk is a better idea rather than proper desktop.
If space is an issue and you want to carry your device around, get a laptop. AIO's are nothing more than glorified laptops, which offer even less bang for the bucks. If you already have a great desktop and/or a great laptop, then you could consider buying something like a Dell XPS18. I have one, but I don't see it as an AIO, I see it as a giant Windows tablet and it's always a great success at parties. But I would never use it in place of a good desktop or laptop. There is absolutely no case to make for an iMac, you might as well just say that you want one as a fashion accessory. Because that's all it is.
Reasons 5 and 4 are practically the same. Reason 3, depends on how bulky or slim the monitor/AIO PC is. Reason 2, depends on how large the screen is (this effectively negates reason 3). Reason 1 doesn't make it better than conventional desktops because both aio's and desktops offer the same option. So it's really only good for either #3 or #2. But neither #3 nor #2 makes AIO PCs better than desktops in that A, there are tons of options these days -- Zotac and Gigabyte, among others, offer a lot of mini PCs that are even upgrade-able to an extent (most AIO PCs can't be upgraded), and those tiny boxes are easier to carry around than a whole monitor (I can even fit one in a shoulder bag); and B, these mini PCs can also be used as HTPCs and even do a better job because the specs can be tailored to suit the user's needs.
Desktops are by far the superior PCs. I realize that I am only replying seven months after this video was posted but mini PCs have been around for a couple years now.
Most of the points seemed to be similar, however, I'm still buying an AIO because of all the points you just listed as its for work and I have a very small office.
but when there a problem with your AIO hardware. You cant just open it and replace it by parts. not only that AIO desktop r limited to GPU. which make slower doing video/photoshop or even games at high settings at higher resolution.
Tulog Nami he works in a office odds are he won't be playing games or using photoshop
Tyler Austin Thats true, nothing graphics intensive. Just a decent CPU, and a good amount of RAM. I use a LOT of programs at one time.
I can't upgrade the stuff inside it to make games run better.
All in one is essentially a bigger laptop. Which means that if something breaks inside, let's say a cooling system, it will be difficult to fix. with that said if you want a faster pc, you have to buy a new one, which is money. and you can build a relatively small mini itx pc. hiding cables is about imagination and planing. you can even mount the whole thing on the wall. no complaints about imac though, it's a totally different story.
If its a bigger laptop than the components aren't so small so it wouldn't be difficult to fix.
I own 3 all in ones and two of them have touch screen, I love to work on them, saves space, they are fast and efficient and the processing speed is fast since I work in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, I don't think that I would ever honestly buy another tower to bulky and way to many cords.
lhawkins40 amen haha
This is brilliant. So you would recommend it for adobe suite users? I'm considering to get one but I'm worried about fixing it if something goes wrong.
Yes, I would highly recommend, I have Adobe Suite, Affinity Designer, Adobe Elements and Premiere 13, Microsoft Suite, and graphic tablet installed with additional external hard drive which is about 2 TB, I have had no problems, and just to note my HP computer I bought in 2009 has Windows 7 hard drive was replace easily at the Geek Squad and runs fantastic, it gives my Windows 8, and 10 a run for the money lol buy one you won't regret it looks and run beautiful, happy computing!
Geek Squad is the best!
Thank you so much for replying. I really appreciate it. I will look into Geeksquad UK and let you know how it goes. Thanks again for the reply!
All -n-one's have their place, but they will never compare to a tower as you admitted. As for space, another commenter said what I was thinking is you can have a large monitor, or high res tv and use a mini pc or NUC mounted to the back of the display either on the desk or the wall cleanly. The non-proprietary nature of a tower, upgradability, and versatility are in my opinion key over an all-in-one. Not to mention if the display goes out, you loose your PC during for repair time. As for touch screen, that is a luxury option that may or may not be important to many, including me. Nice video though.
I think AIO pcs are great for personal day-to-day use and schools, and sometimes better than notebooks because they are cheaper
hey can i replace the motherboard of all in one or will it have to be the same board im replacing it for upgrading cpu
@@nouassimustapha9379 as far as I know, AIO PCs are not that great when it comes to Upgrading, if you are going to upgrade anyways try a Cheap monitor and a Mini Cpu box, they are very customizable
So basically it's not as good as normal desktops but it looks nicer and more minimal is your whole point
My venovo all in one is so slow
My AIO & my Dell XPS-15 Notebook both have user replaceable storage drives: SSD & spinning HDD. From the comments, I didn't know how disadvantaged iMac users were; no touch screens, poor hardware accessories, poor software choices, fewer upgrades.
Models, technology's etc are changing so fast, at such low costs, that I upgrade each year. USB3 & now USB-c coming.
Both computers use the extra large screen monitor, in addition to the inbuilt monitors. My wife & visitors watch the TV screen. Researching, buying, TH-cam, TV timetables, etc, can be readily, easily projected onto the general room viewing screens.
AIO computers are heavier to mount than large screen monitors. So switching between portrait & landscape display is more troublesome. But they do allow more table working area than my other PC units.
the disc drawers are fragile.
it is nice
