I am changing my computer and have been looking at one of the "all in one" types. Does anyone have one and in your opinion are there any advantages other than space than the tower ones.

Not particularly aware of this type of machine which seems to be following the Apple model. The one mentioned by Dave above looks pretty neat and seems to have all the connectivity you need. I suppose the only thing I would question would be about cooling as everything is so close together and are they suitable to being left on all the time? Got me thinking now!!!

I have been using it for 9 months now David and that was a concern for me, however I downloaded 'Speccy' to look at the various temperatures and the CPU, internal graphics were way below max and never had any popup/crash etc regarding that plus I spend a lot of time on it Laughing. Sound quality and volume is good but don't expect hifi quality from the internal speakers.

Basically it does all that I want and has the potential to do more if needed, my router is downstairs, I'm now on fibre direct to the house and my printer connects wirelessly, all in all its very neat and practical.

I also have my own 'man room' upstairs Happy

Thanks Dave, useful information. I have a man room also but no where near as neat and tidy as yours and I a certainly not showing Margaret your photograph!!!!

People mention upgrading, apart from software I have not done that for years, I usually just buy a new conputer!!!

No solid state HDD then? It's obsolete already. Wink

Laughing Very true, the days are gone when I try to keep up with upgrading my computer and I suppose like all things it's built to a price. But regarding the 2Tbyte HDD, I did have to check it out because the Lenovo runs so silent, there are no fans, no whirring just silent running, so I thought maybe it has a solid state HD, but no.

My MacBookPro is three years old now. I'm hoping it will be adequate to see me out until I'm too gaga to work it.

Apple Macs have had tbe CPU built into the screen for ages.

Assume you get a hard drive of some sort?

As an aside, I find it incredible that some people only have tablet type machines.

I used to wonder why my mate never really commented when I sent him a Word document or a spreadsheet. Then one day he mentioned to me that he had never had Office or similar on his little netbook and had never used either Word or any sort of spreadsheet.

Must be my background, but I had just assumed that everyone under about 65 must automatically be familiar with this type of software.

If your going for an all in one PC then you might as well go all the way and get a Laptop. It will be even more compact and you also have the benefit of being able to take it with you and use it anywhere.
