Demand for all-in-one (AIO) PCs is projected to remain robust until at least the end of this decade, according to market research firms Dataintelo, Verified Market Research (VMR), and Sentiq. These companies project AIO PC CAGR between 5.4 and 6% from 2024 to 2032.[1]
WFH, online learning, and gaming are major contributors to the continued robust sales of all-in-one PCs. Technological advancements have also helped keep AIOs competitive against laptop and desktop PCs. We are providing the following info to help you decide on your next PC purchase, such as whether the all-in-one PC is the right choice for you.
The Essentials of An All-in-One PC
An all-in-one PC combines the strengths of laptop and desktop PCs. Similar to laptops, an AIO PC has its monitor and computer hardware combined into a single unit, including the webcam and speakers. It also has more space for larger components and better cooling, translating to greater performance when compared to laptops.
The differences between an all-in-one PC vs desktop PC are largely dictated by the AIO’s size, including the pros and cons.
Advantages of an All-in-One PC
● Size: while an AIO PC is designed for use in a fixed location, it is usually the size of a computer monitor, requiring less space than a desktop PC.
● Easier set-up: an AIO can be used right out of the box, with no assembly needed. It’s easier to move around than a full-fledged desktop PC, making it suitable for flexible work environments.
● Aesthetics: its computer monitor form factor makes it a visually attractive choice for the modern office.
● Cable management and energy efficiency: an all-in-one PC needs only one power cord. This translates to better energy efficiency when compared to a desktop model.
● Screen display: an AIO PC can offer a larger and better screen resolution compared to a desktop PC at the same price point. Depending on the model, the AIO can also have touchscreen functionality.
Disadvantages of an AIO PC
● Limited upgradeability: the AIO PC’s compact design restricts upgrade options to RAM and storage, limiting long-term performance improvements. Compare this to a desktop PC, which has more flexibility for upgrades. Moreover, the AIO’s limited upgradeability can make it obsolete faster, usually in 3 to 5 years.
● Fixed configurations and repair challenges: the integrated design of AIO components means fewer customization options regarding component selection, limiting you to preconfigured models. This also means more complex repairs due to the integrated design, often requiring professional assistance.
● Overheating: The AIO PC’s compact design means its components are tightly packed together. This can lead to less efficient cooldown, and a higher likelihood of overheating.
