Just wondering if an "all-in-one" computer is your special name for a "laptop"? ??? - if so, that would possibly change some of the previous answers.

in general, all-in-ones are:-

1. very overpriced for the spec (performance) you get
2. very often proprietry parts so expensive when they break
3. ARE prone to overheating due to poor airflow inside
4. difficult to de-fluff which contributes to ovrheating
5. labour costs of repairs can often be uneconomic even if a low-value component has gone.
6. screen goes, it's burgered due to cost
7. user prone to RSI if you insist on using the touchscreen rather than keyboard & mouse

Nice idea in theory, but the practice leaves a lot to be desired at this stage in the product's life.... whether it ever gets any better remains to be seen...

The more ram, hard drive space, best spec processor the better.
The rule is, the bigger the numbers, the better it is.

You also might want functionality like blueray player or rw drive
Hdmi out, tv tuner, 3d enabled hd graphics card and so fourth

If your going to a smaller retailer, try and haggle them to throw in some free or discounted 'creative' speakers too because no doubt, if that all in 1 pc has speakers built in, they will be pants.
If you get some, just make sure they have an independent subwoofer. 2.1 (it basically means 2 speakers and 1 subwoofer)

If you ask me, not a problem until something goes wrong or you want to upgrade it.
It may suffer from over heating but thats about it.

They look quite snazzy imo.

If you get one, just make sure you get a very high spec one so it will be future proof for a bit longer.
If you get a budget one, you will regret it after a few months to a year because it will be too slow and too expensive or too limited to upgrade.
