All-in-One PC
Updated June 20, 2026 · Reviewed by Shorim Haniffanshoib, Head of Editorial — IT Strategy & Enterprise
An AIO (All-in-One PC) is a desktop computer whose components (motherboard, processor, RAM, storage) are all integrated behind the monitor panel into a single unit — essentially a thick display that is already a complete PC, often with a built-in webcam and speakers. Its main advantage: a clean desk with one cable (just power, plus a wireless keyboard/mouse), a small footprint, and fast setup with no tower to assemble. A fit for front desks/reception, meeting rooms, tills, clinics, computer labs, and aesthetics-conscious offices. This contrasts with a tower desktop plus a separate monitor: the tower is bigger and has more cables, but is far easier to upgrade (swap the GPU, add RAM/storage, change the PSU) and repair component-by-component — the AIO is compact but limited on upgrades and harder to service because its components are integrated. To compare the size-versus-expandability trade-off across desktop shapes (Tower, SFF, Mini, AIO), see desktop form factor. The AIO is one of the unit options in Arental's desktop PC rental service.
AIO (All-in-One PC) frequently appears in B2B IT procurement contexts: An AIO (All-in-One PC) is a desktop computer whose components (motherboard, processor, RAM, storage) are all integrated.
