- sixsidepentagon, on 12/17/2007, -2/+49Cool. But I'll stick with the laptop.
- Spamcan, on 12/17/2007, -1/+38The iMac and the Dell XPS are the only ones I'd really consider "hot". I'm not too crazy about the idea of stuffing a computer that will be obsolete in a year into a 30"+ TV, I mean would you really drop the extra cash on the Q42 when nearly every TV has both VGA and HDMI/DVI input these days?
- fezzasus, on 12/17/2007, -8/+39The iMac is not a new concept. This just goes to show what an awful job most companies have done replicating it.
- inactive, on 12/17/2007, -4/+24No, Commodore 64.
- inactive, on 12/17/2007, -1/+20The Dell looks dece, and the Gateway's breakout box is smart, but I think the Apple really takes the cake. It's the fastest among them, and very reasonably priced.

- inactive, on 12/17/2007, -1/+15I've have my G5 iMac for nearly 5 years now, it still does what most people would need done from day to day, most people don't require that much out of a personal computer. I'm looking forward to getting one of the new 24" models, as soon as they are available with whatever the next gen DVD burner turns out to be, I've heard Apple is getting behind Blu-ray.
Upgrading is overrated, instead of incrementally upgrading my system constantly, I've found it's easier just to replace it every 5 to 7 years and move into a newer, larger, faster, and more capable iMac.
Probably not for everyone, but it's damn convenient for people who need a good computer without needing to be running a super computer. - newstart, on 12/17/2007, -4/+18Doesn't the last one Cybernet All-In-One PC (Inside a Keyboard) remind you of Apple II ?
- PFinn, on 12/17/2007, -3/+16apple has been making these "all-in-one" computers for a number of years now...not to sound like an apple fanboy, but it sure took every other company a long time to catch on to this, and it is just now news?
- JoeDiggsIt, on 12/17/2007, -1/+11Why the ***** would you bring Ron Paul into this!!?!?!
- Darph.Bobo, on 12/17/2007, -2/+11Good to see you here Michael!
- borninda818, on 12/17/2007, -1/+7It's really a hate it or love it kind of thing. I like the iMac because it's subtle and elegant. The Sony's look pretty good too.
- rickcarson, on 12/17/2007, -2/+8There are two pieces of news here: first is that everybody else still is 50% (or more) more expensive than the iMac. (Where are all the 'macs are too expensive' trolls now? Oh yeah, that's right, they don't like to let ugly facts ruin their beautiful theories)
The only models in that line-up that were at or below the price of the iMac were way way way under-specced.
Mind you, I'm happily typing this on a G4, so having an under-specced CPU isn't necessarily the deal breaker the chip companies would like us to believe.
I would have ordered an all in one keyboard computer because I thought it was an awesome concept, but once I cranked the specs up from 'abhorrent' to 'tolerable' it was over $1200... and at that point I'd just plonk the cash on an iMac.
The second piece of news which isn't obvious unless you actually go looking for prices is that a few of these bad boys are available _without Windows_. Big news for your inner linux freak (if you have one). - wphj, on 12/17/2007, -1/+7There is around here, for sure, but most "normal" people buy a new computer every few years when their old PC dies.
As for me, I buy a new mac every few years and get a new one when I have the money/want to keep up with the better models. - quidpro, on 12/17/2007, -2/+8sure would be nice to be able to do SOMETHING with an old imac.
- T8erT0T, on 12/17/2007, -0/+6Wasn't a bad list, but what's with giving out one price for the Mac models and then not listing other prices as well?
- Markpdotcom, on 12/17/2007, -0/+5Amiga 1200 I think you'll find! :)
- Me1000, on 12/17/2007, -0/+5well the original macintosh was an all in one!
and some of those other machines look worse than it did! - freakstyle571, on 12/17/2007, -0/+5You don't. If you need the ability to do that, buy a different computer. But for the people that want a clutter free desktop to perform minimal functions; all-in-one computers are perfect.
- tendonut, on 12/17/2007, -0/+5I do a LOT of house calls for computer repair. The only reason people seem to upgrade their machines is because they think they have to. Their machine is crawling, and pop-ups everywhere. This is not an aging computer, this is a virus/spyware infection...In all reality, a machine from 2000 will do just fine for the majority of the home computer users if only they could learn to maintain the machines. Think about what most people do on computers (not including us Diggers). They check their e-mail, look at pictures and use a word processor. Of course Dell tells us we need a dual core processor with 2GB of RAM to do that, but in reality, a 733MHz Pentium III with 512MB of RAM would be more than enough.
- slehmann, on 12/17/2007, -0/+5Lumenlab - "Incredibly thin 3 inch frame"...LMAO
- Assezdefromage, on 12/17/2007, -0/+5Other than stare at it?
- xyphur, on 12/17/2007, -0/+4No, they didn't. It's there. RTFA.
- Me1000, on 12/17/2007, -0/+4you already said that once!
- balthisar, on 12/17/2007, -0/+4Wow! After seeing that, I can see why Apple is acclaimed for their industrial design. Most of those were horrendous! Yeah, sure, I've got two iMacs at home, but not because they're prettier than the others, but because I wouldn't consider something that doesn't run the Mac OS. Before you accuse me of being a fanboi, hey, I could have just said the others were ugly without admitting I had Macs. And I said most; there were one or two others that were kind of acceptable.
- inactive, on 12/17/2007, -0/+4Notice how ***** they all look apart from the imac.
- antdude, on 12/17/2007, -0/+3http://duggmirror.com/hardware/10_Hot_All_In_One_C ...
- m3mn0n, on 12/17/2007, -0/+3The Cybernet PC should not be on this list. All-in-one means it includes ALL the components of a full computer in ONE package. That thing is basically a laptop ripped in half.
And I don't like the fact this list doesn't justify the rankings and mention why one model is better than another. It just lists *possible* specs, a link to the official site, a varying price point. I'd rather read reviews done by pros who actually USE the machines they rank/rate.
But since the iMac is #1 and this is Digg, it doesn't surprise me why this horrible excuse of an article hit the front page. - rickcarson, on 12/17/2007, -0/+3The keyboard ones have an optional keyboard cover, that might come in handy if you're going to play with it on 'the *****'. (The mind would boggle, but frankly the mind doesn't want to go there)
- wstrucke, on 12/17/2007, -2/+5that mac looks sexy. the rest are ugly as sin
- PhrosTT, on 12/17/2007, -1/+4i've always planned on mounting a ghetto computer in front of my *****, that cybernet all in one looks perfect.
- hab21, on 12/17/2007, -0/+3NUMBER 10 look so much like my first computer Amiga man those where the days to run more then ten programs on 2MB of ram The Cybernet All-In-One PC (Inside a Keyboard): Usually the All-In-One PC includes a monitor but no keyboard and mouse. This All-In-One PC includes the keyboard and mouse, but no monitor. The Cybernet All-In-One Keyboard boasts a Pentium 4 Processor, 2 GB RAM, and a 500GB Hard Drive.
- VPurpmalkV, on 12/17/2007, -0/+3#5 On the List.
- JasonCox, on 12/17/2007, -2/+4Huh? There's more than 3 (iMac, Dell XPS One, that Gateway thing)?
- rickcarson, on 12/17/2007, -0/+2The all in one keyboard was an interesting concept, especially if you really don't have much desktop space.
I wonder how portable it is though, it'd need to be very robust to keep up with a 'shove it in my bag and run out the door' kind of lifestyle. Also, to really minimise desktop footprint these things would need blue-tooth. I've got a 'small footprint' computer, and it has about a dozen cables, none of which 'plays nice with others'. Whereas an iMac with all wireless needs only one cable for power, and is indeed a thing of beauty. - Me1000, on 12/17/2007, -0/+2damn, I dugg you down before I caught the reference!
I fail! - ZekeSulastin, on 12/17/2007, -0/+2I think the Cybernet wins hands-down - ahh, nostalgia ...
- rickcarson, on 12/17/2007, -0/+2Most of them were 50% more expensive. OR they were under-specced.
Take the Gateway for instance, it was both. The stats they quote are for the high end model, which is 50% more expensive. But there is also a low end model which is only $100 more than the iMac... but it uses an intel core 2 duo running at ... 1.5ghz. My reaction when I saw that was amazement, I didn't realise that intel had ever put them out that slow (the core solo, yes, but core 2 duo?) - VPurpmalkV, on 12/17/2007, -0/+2I Used to be an build it yourself type of guy. Until I realized that I would never be able to purchase the beast of a PC I wanted Part by Part in time to take advantage of it before said parts became obsolete. So I financed a Dell XPS720H2C. Yeah. I'll be paying it off still when those parts become obsolete, but I have it now and am enjoying the hell out of it.
- Myztry, on 12/17/2007, -0/+2Nah. It has an inbuilt hard drive. Either an Amiga 1200 (1992) with a touch of Amiga CD32 (1993) since it has an inbuilt optical drive
- consonance, on 12/17/2007, -0/+2If there's anything I hate more than a Microsoft, Apple, or Linux fanboy, it's an 80's fanboy.
- Weasel22, on 12/17/2007, -1/+3***** fanboys...
- ronmexico, on 12/17/2007, -0/+2I bet you drive an ugly car too.
- Carter313, on 12/17/2007, -0/+2Hey, my laptop is great for bathroom reading material. Just get a stool or something to set it on and you're ready to digg while dumping.
- rickcarson, on 12/17/2007, -0/+2Mac Pro
- xtc46, on 12/17/2007, -0/+2that is my experience as well. I go into a small business and they say "we need to upgrade, our new software is too powerful for these" Its a freaking word processor or some windows app pulling info from a DB. People think im an idiot when I say "no you dont...you just need these cleaned up" companies are so used to getting the "you need 300GB of HD spacec3 GB of RAM ir your computer sucks!" spiel that I sound like a fool when I say dell and HP are just trying to sell stuff.
- asauterChicago, on 12/17/2007, -3/+5I like my MAC to, however, I have a friend who has some advice for you: http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=ma ...
- rickcarson, on 12/17/2007, -0/+2Shame you're being dugg down. Yes, it is kind of a trolling question, but it would be an interesting factor in the purchase decision. Even the last of the G5 iMacs couldn't do monitor spanning.
Macs last longer than PCs in that regard. At least they _used to_. I think that the gaming industry drives the massive obsolescence treadmill. I look at the available graphics options in the mac line-up and when it comes to playing a game like Command and Conquer 3, half of the macs just flat out won't, and the other half sound like they'll do it, but only just. I know it is the way things are done in the PC worlds, but I don't think I should have to buy a Mac Pro just to be able to run a video game. I know, I know.... "this isn't madness... this is gaming!!!!" meh. - Myztry, on 12/17/2007, -0/+1My dad had a Tandy 1000 portable. I remember it as a 1000P although I can't find it online. It was pre 1982 (Tandy CoCo) but maybe it was an Australia only thing. It had a built in monitor and dual 5 1/4 floppies. It even has password protected files. By using "On error goto" you could crack the passwords in the form "file:password:. It was in portable sewing machine format, complete with handle. I'm really getting too old :)
