In recent months, we've seen both
Lenovo and
Acer push out rather stylish all-in-one PCs. Clearly, both firms are hot to trot for the form factor, with
DigiTimes reporting that the duo has big plans for future expansion in the area. Specifically, Lenovo is rumored to launch an entry-level 20-inch unit (C300) next month, a C100 and quad-core B500 in August and an ultrathin A300 variant in October. Meanwhile, Acer is said to be preparing an 18.5-inch model produced by Wistron, though there's no indication if it's actually different from that
eMachines EZ1600 we heard about earlier this month. Look out,
tower -- the end is nigh. (Just kidding, we only wanted to see your reaction.)

I blame Apple for this stupid new trend of non upgradability and hard to repairness.
My question: Do these overheat easily? I've never experienced one, but I would think heat might be an issue with everything so close to each other and to the monitor.
Check out the Dell One. Easier to upgrade than most towers.
Agreed. It's the PC version of "CRT TVs with built-in VHS decks" or "LCD TVs with DVD decks". Having an enclosure on the back of a big LCD monitor to contain most laptops would be a better idea.
Just get a jumbo laptop. It's all-in-one and you can close it up and put it in the closet when you don't want to use it.
Unless these new nearly-impossible-to-upgrade-all-in-one computers are sporting TOUCH SCREENS and Tablet versions of windows...
Then fack-you!
same this applies to Apple.
Vista + Windows 7 already have tablet functionality.
I just built one of these (as well as a touch tablet) from an old laptop and a monitor...
It may work well, but mine is uglier than a dead trout...
i've seen some pretty hot dead trout, though.
...im not a fishophile
you like fishsticks?
Finally can get rid of that box under the table and a tangled ball of wires. They need to add display protector, then this will be as portable as a laptop yet more ergonomic than a laptop.
So, they are trying to do, what Apple has done since the Macintosh was introduced?
Umm, so... They are 25 years behind.
Besides, I'm sure the will be nowhere near as sexy as the iMac (and not just the current model).

I'm a Mac. And also a PC.
