An all in one PC is less all in one than a laptop (it's only one less part than a regular PC)

      AT&T UNIXPC

      I was gonna say that this was my favorite all-in-one, but then I remembered the mouse. And the keyboard is removable, so that’s, like, 2½ pieces?

    your statement is kinda confusing but…

    an all in one comes with a monitor, keyboard and mouse (typically), hence the all in one. if you’re just looking at the desktop part, that would be just a tiny/mini PC. it still comes with kB/m (typically)

      Even if it comes together in the box, it’s still not all in one. It’s three separate parts that you have to connect together. If I buy a knife and a Roomba and they come in the same box, I don’t get an all in one murderbot. But a laptop is truly an all in one.

        You still have a power supply with a laptop.

    The only thing different from any truely All-in-One computer over a laptop I’ve seen is the size.

    But the only actual all-in-one computers I’ve seen were Macs or extremely old computers from the 70s.

    Hmm, I think it’s usually at least two fewer parts - monitor, compute, and speakers.

    Also, some all-in-ones have touchscreens, so technically usable without a mouse/keyboard.

    Smaller stuff is harder to make.

    Still none of them have neither meatmincer in them nor even a chair. Not much for all-in-one.

      Not to mention those neat slide-out things that let you hold your drink. The ones that used to be called CD-roms.
