All in one computers worth it?

My main goal is to keep my system current on the cheap. So, every few years, I like to upgrade the RAM if possible and possibly processing power, if needed. Worked fine for me for most of my computing life until I picked up a laptop that was already maxed out on RAM. Eventually my needs became greater than what the laptop would run so I decided to get a modern desktop. An OEM machine that would have had the same processing power/RAM would have cost me 50% more than what I could put together to meet my needs mostly because of fancy casing, graphics, peripherals and storage options that I didn't need. Would have given me a better bang for the buck but I didn't need most of that bang. Thanks to TAFB's advice, I was able to source a nice casing and cooling setup on the cheap and the rest was garden variety components, mostly sourced from a single trip to CC and one Newegg order.

Looks like the PC world may be catching up to your way of thinking.

Instead of starting a new thread - I'm looking to purchase a wall-mountable All-In-One PC (touch screen).

Mainly to use for:
- Adobe Suite (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Lightroom).
- MS Office Suite
- Various guitar programs (Plug my electric guitar into the Mic jack)

Would it possible to have the All-In-One function with the Samsung Tablet/Phone/Smart TV? I'm looking to go all Android.


I hate iTunes with a passion.

There's a couple of Android computers, but they won't do what you need.

If you want to run creative cloud your going to need either mac or pc, no android option for that. You don't really need itunes for an ipad anymore, at very least you can use itunes to just drag and drop movies or music directly onto the ipad without keeping it on itunes. I find the creative cloud works better on mac then pc, just seems faster, but my testing has not been extensive on the pc side as things work great on my macs.

Good luck
