What is an all-in-one desktop?
All-in-one (AIO) desktops provide the performance of a powerful desktop computer in a compact package that doesn’t require the desk space or setup of traditional desktop computers. All of the computing power, hard drive, speakers, disc drive (if installed), and other hardware is within the same physical space as the screen itself. The only items separate from an all-in-one desktop are the mouse, keyboard, or other add-on accessories. Some AIO desktop models feature touchscreen technology that reduces the clutter even further and replaces the need for other input devices.
When should I use an all-in-one desktop?
All-in-one desktops are perfect for any setting, from small home offices to large corporate environments. Many digital professionals prefer the portable, clean, and sleek makeup of AIO PCs compared to their full desktop counterparts.... Although it’s harder to get into an AIO to tinker with the hard drive or issue, such as a faulty drive, the perks of added desk space and less overall maintenance are hard to beat.
These easy-to-use and easy-to-setup computers require limited IT support and work well with wireless hardware to keep work areas clear of excess wiring. By replacing traditional desktops, users reduce potential tripping hazards while increasing desk and floor space. Native Wi-Fi capabilities, variable processor and storage configurations and the latest operating systems ensure your AIO desktop meets your organization’s needs as it grows.
Although an all-in-one is a self-contained unit, these desktops are definitely not one size fits all. Display sizes, optical drives, memory and storage capacities, processors, and operating systems are just some of the options and configurations available. A small display with limited processing power and storage capacity may be the perfect solution for one environment, yet other firms with a larger budget may require an AIO PC with higher performance capabilities. The wide variety of brands and models available on the market continues to expand and in many instances, it’s hard to find any disadvantages or weaknesses in an AIO compared to a full desktop setup.
