If you do get an all-in-one machine, you can still pick your favorite keyboard and mouse, plus you save yourself the hassle of having to buy a monitor or having to move two devices if you want to clean up or relocate. Not to mention, you’ll usually get more value from them, getting more power for the same amount of money or even less.
