A Closer Look at All-in-One Computers

Even before I started doing online marketing, I consider my desktop computer as one of my most important tools. Partnered with Internet access, it has been a constant and valuable source of information from my graduate studies days up to the present. I've been able to write reports, make presentations, view and make videos, and many more with the help of my PC. However, I do feel that I will need a hardware upgrade pretty soon. You see my present PC is a tad bit outdated and still runs on an old Windows XP operating system.

Due to limited space, I've been on the lookout for All-in-One (AIO) computers. Just when I thought that this was a new technology, I was surprised to find out that the original Macintosh of the mid-1980s and the iMac of the late 1990s and 2000s are early examples of AIO PCs.

What are all-in-one computers?

They are desktop computers wherein the monitor is in the same case as the other internal components of the computer. They are more portable than desktop computers and can be unplugged and transported easily to a new location.

Older models of AIO PCs lacked the capacity for upgrade or hardware customization. However, manufacturers seemed to have addressed this issue.

In this hub, I will take a closer look at selected AIO PCs that I found on Amazon. Hopefully, it would also help me decide on a good replacement for my old computer.
