@Good_Bytes - Again, I ask, what are you more likely to want to replace, your monitor or your keyboard? You can only pick one. I'd like to know a single person here who has replaced their keyboard more than their monitor.]]>Jul 16th 2009 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/
A) Several different keyboard styles, Natural, standard, multimedia, etc.
B) What if you want wireless keyboard?
C) Keyboard more likely to fail or be broken
D) About the only thing most people care about on monitor is size, which you can pick on purchase
E) Monitors are generally more stationary than keyboards
F) Keyboards are considerably smaller than monitors and require more effort to shrink

Yeah, it does suck that it's built into a monitor, but that's the downside of an All-in-one. If it bothers you that much, get one of the Nettops with VESA mounts.]]>Jul 16th 2009 1:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/
Keyboards are far and away the best choice:

A) Several different monitor styles, aspect ratio, size, resolution, inputs, etc.
B) People who spend $100 to buy a wireless keyboard aren't the kind to buy a cheapo all-in-one computer.
C) Keyboards are cheap to fix. Proprietary monitors are very expensive.
D) About the only thing most people care about on keyboards is size, which is perfectly fine on an all-in-one
E) Keyboards are generally stationary on a desktop computer
F) Keyboards have plenty of space for components, about equal to a large non-compact laptop]]>Jul 16th 2009 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/
It's hard to say what I have switched more since I use multiple computers and vary the configuration. But I will list all the keyboards, monitors and tower builds that I have used for any significant length of time.

Monitors I have used:

19" Samsung CRT
19" Phillips LCD
20.1" Viewsonic LCD
22" Viewsonic LCD
27" Dell LCD

Number of long-term (1yr+) computer builds: 7

Keyboards used:

Microsoft Natural
Logitech Natural Wireless
Noname Compact Keyboard
Logitech S510 Keyboard
Microsoft Natural Multimedia
Logitech G15
Logitech G15 (Replaced under Warranty)
Logitech diNovo Edge
Microsoft Natural 4000

Remember, just because YOU do it, does not mean that is the norm. I may not be the norm either (actually I can guarantee I am not), but since manufacturers are doing it, that would indicate that more people replace keyboards than monitors.]]>Jul 16th 2009 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/
Most people only care about screen size.

B) People who spend $100 to buy a wireless keyboard aren't the kind to buy a cheapo all-in-one computer.

You can get wireless keyboards for $20 easily.

C) Keyboards are cheap to fix. Proprietary monitors are very expensive.

Yeah, but when that keyboard is integrated into a $500 PC, it becomes very expensive, too, and it is FAR FAR more likely to break than the monitor. I am responsible for maintaining ~150 PCs. We replace at least one keyboard a week, and MAYBE one monitor in a month.

D) About the only thing most people care about on keyboards is size, which is perfectly fine on an all-in-one

But making a keyboard an all in one makes it considerably larger/heavier and puts limitations on what size it can be.

E) Keyboards are generally stationary on a desktop computer

Yes, but they get repositioned more than monitors.

F) Keyboards have plenty of space for components, about equal to a large non-compact laptop

You have to add significant thickness and weight. It's better to add that extra bulk to the monitor.]]>Jul 16th 2009 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/Jul 16th 2009 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/
They put the components and the monitor together because there is much more room to put things. You will never fit full size components inside a keyboard unless you want it to be 2 1/2 in thick. ]]>Jul 16th 2009 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/

"Business users rarely have any need for good graphics performance."
Lmao you're kidding I hope

Reread: "Can't wait for more of these to come out with ION"
As in All-In-Ones, nothing to do with business here, buddy.

I know it's trendy to argue with someone wanting an All-In-One with ION, but in this case, it just doesn't make sense.]]>Jul 16th 2009 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/Jul 16th 2009 12:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/with almost the same design, apple makes a much better all-in-one, by far.]]>Jul 16th 2009 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/Jul 16th 2009 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/but, i guess they are looking for different demographics, so it doesn't really matter. i'll stick with my iMac anyway.]]>Jul 17th 2009 4:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/Much better idea than this. ]]>Jul 16th 2009 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/Jul 16th 2009 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/Jul 16th 2009 8:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/Jul 16th 2009 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/dell-debuts-vostro-all-in-one-desktop/
Here's a blog post on our blog Direct2Dell: http://bit.ly/7p6fK. Since we're not selling it yet, it's not on Dell.com. The post does link to a spec sheet on our SlideShare account, but if you only want to see it, go here: http://bit.ly/r7x17.

@GRAMMAR POLICE: Unfortunately, no discrete graphics. It uses Intel's GMA4500HD integrated video.

One reminder to folks questioning why someone would choose this over an Apple... starting price of $629. Besides that, it's built on a desktop chipset and uses desktop procs and hard drives. Not a bad deal.

@Cormier6083: What you see in the picture is an external stand option. There a different one can be used.
