Best Answer

All desktop computers consist of a hard drive and mother board. The difference is most computers have a seperate tower that houses the disk drives, motherboard, GPU etc. and an all-in-one computer houses all its components in the monitor.

A good example of a all-in-one is Apple's E-Mac and I-Mac.

Pros: less space on desk

ready to use out of box

no separate components

Cons: hard or impossible to upgrade/repair

prone to overheating

inferior sound quality

more expensive

An all-in-one PC contains key parts all in a single container. The parts in this type of PC are usually standard quality found in an average PC. They have a monitor, a CPU, and RAM. Furthermore, they have a GPU, mouse, and keyboard. They typically come with a pre-installed operating system and several programs that come standard with that brand of computers.

How is an all in one desktop different from from a traditional desktop computer?

A traditional desktop computer usually has a computer tower, monitor, mouse, and keyboard. An all-in-one desktop, however, tries to combine these. The actual computer will be inside of the (sometimes over-sided) monitor, and the monitor itself may include a touchscreen. You will still usually want a keyboard, rather that trying to use the on-screen one, and a mouse my be useful as well. You will at least be able to do away with the computer tower, however.
