PROS AND CONS OF AN ALL-IN-ONE COMPUTER.

For individuals living in a small apartment, or someone who doesn’t have a lot of room to spare, an all-in-one computer can be the ideal answer.

When computer manufacturers started incorporating the computer cpu case and the monitor together, they created the all-in-one. they used the same features and functions as a desktop system.

All-in-ones have the monitor and the cpu case combined together as opposed to a regular desktop computer that has the cpu connected by cable to a separate monitor. This gives a all-in-one computer system a smaller overall silhouette than a desktop computer. Perfect if you need every inch of space.

A all-in-one doesn’t need cables running from the monitor to the cpu. This eliminates a lot of clutter caused by the cables. For an individual with a small work area, not having cables can be the space saving answer they’re looking for. Also, all-in-ones are designed more stylishly than a regular computer, perfect for the fashion conscious.

However, a regular Desktop computer may have a few advantages over the all-in-one PCs. Today, most all-in-one PCs feature notebook designed components. This helps make the all-in-one smaller but it takes away some of the overall performance of the system. Due to the smaller size there may be fewer components and less power.

Another issue that all-in-one computers have is their upgradeability. While most desktop computer cases can be easily opened to install replacements or upgrades, all-in-one systems tend to hamper access to their components due to their small nature. This typically confines the system to memory upgrades.

The one advantage a all-in-one computer has over a notebook computer is price. Because the all-in-one does not need to be transportable, the components do not have to be designed for movement like a laptop. This helps reduce the cost of building an all-in-one over a comparable notebook computer system.

All-in-one computers fill a niche needed by individuals looking for something cheaper in price than a laptop, that they don’t need to carry around. All-in-ones are perfect the users without a lot of space. Need more detailed information? Talk to IQ Computer Services, you'll be glad you did.
