All In One. Complete and compact computer station. How and when should you choose this solution?
This is one of the categories of personal computers that has received the most interest in recent times. Maybe because the All In One is a type with a lot of value
aesthetic? Or maybe there are also other advantages that we can find in this type of configuration?
Let's find out when it is best to choose this type of computer in our analysis with pros and cons.
What exactly is an All In One computer?
The translation from English may already be sufficient to classify this type of computer. All in One in fact stands for everything in one, for a computer that includes "at least" the case and the monitor in a single element.
The All In One computer is therefore a complete workstation with just a few components.
Few components because there are different configurations for the All In One , two in particular:
The mouse or its equivalent, however, always remains a disconnected component, unless for the monitor part you opt for a touchscreen, which could also lead to the exclusion of this hardware (and probably also the keyboard) for a truly “single-component”.
The evolution of wireless peripherals leads to a further possibility, that of a “wireless” connected keyboard and mouse for a further version of the All In One .
All In One PC and Apple, a path that has always been "trodden"
Since the dawn of information technology, the All In One solution has always been greatly appreciated by the various creators. In a hypothetical museum of evolution we could find several All In One machines in the chronological order of PCs (and Macintoshes).
The idea of having a solution with few components has always been liked by creators and the market, as it is usually considered more elegant and easier to manage.
Even on the Apple side, this solution has always been highly appreciated with some machines that have made history, also from a design point of view, as in the case of the iMac.
All In One PC or desktop computer?
From a technological and performance point of view, the differences between these two categories of PC are now minimal if not zero.
The progressive miniaturization of components now allows excellent performance even in the case of minimal spaces that are often not ventilated (many All In One computers are in fact not equipped with a fan).
Added to this is the fact that some bulky peripherals (for example the CD-ROM) have become less and less useful and indispensable, helping in a dimensional transaction which maintains all the necessary components in less space.
To date, the All In One computer is therefore an excellent alternative to the desktop computer with advantages and disadvantages compared to the same.
Disadvantages of the All In One computer compared to the desktop PC
The disadvantages of the "all-in-one" computer compared to the desktop PC are essentially two, both deriving from the size and structure of the case. Here they are:
Advantages of the All In One computer compared to the desktop PC 
Unlike the disadvantages, in this category we find various points, which well explain the success of All In One computers.
In particular:
When to choose an All In One?
Now that we have verified that the advantages of an All In One far outweigh the disadvantages, it is time to see in which possible installations an All In One computer can be used.
There are many uses, but we found it installed in:
Even in the home environment, the All In One computer achieves great success, this is because it allows you to "untie yourself" from the computer
bit sad and definitely not elegant feeling of having a corner office at home.
The All In One is aesthetically beautiful and very functional, for a product that has its reason for being and is chosen by more and more users.
