    Hi

    I want to purchase a new All in one PC. Has anyone any recommendations as to where is the best place to buy one? After sales service would be important.

    Thanks

    All in one? Like it needs to print, scan and fax? Or it just needs to have a built in keyboard screen and mouse? Those are laptops :)

    All-in-one
    All-in-One computers are desktop computers that combine the monitor into the same case as the CPU. Apple has manufactured several popular examples of all-in-one computers, such as the original Macintosh of the mid-1980s and the iMac of the late 1990s and 2000s. Some older 8-bit computers, such as the Commodore PET 2001 or Kaypro II, also fit into this category. All-in-One PCs are typically more portable than other desktop PCs and many have been built with carrying handles integrated into the case. They can simply be unplugged and transported to a new location.

    Like laptops, All-in-One desktop computers are characterized by a comparative lack of upgradeability or hardware customization, as internal hardware is often placed in the back of the visual display unit. Furthermore, in the case of the iMac line since 2002, the CPU and other internal hardware units are, more or less, permanently glued to the motherboard due to space constraints.

    However, latest models of the All In One Computer have changed their approach to this issue. Many of the current offerings, like the Handii myFace and others, are using standard off-the-shelf components and are designing upgrade convenience into their products.

    There are also zero-footprint PCs like the Asus Eee Box which fit to the mount area of most flat-screen monitors (VESA mount), giving similar benefits.
