PC World Advent AIO-101 reviewed

The computer world has seen a big rise in the demand for all-in-one units, thanks largely to the stellar efforts of ASUS, Dell, and HP. Gone are the days of chunky grey boxes sitting under desks in the home or small office. And now with the AIO-101 we are really tapping in to the fact that more and more people want to use their PCs in their kitchens, living rooms and bedrooms. The AIO-101 is a million miles away from being the perfect computer, but it could be just the ticket for someone on a tight budget that's looking for a multi-functional and easy-to-use PC. Combining a range of modest-performing components wrapped up in a transportable package, the AIO-101 is a reasonable - if expensive - effort. The machine also beats most Atom-based systems hands down for performance. As long as you don't expect cutting-edge design or performance you shouldn't be disappointed. If it was my money, I'd look more closely at ASUS' Eee Top range (from $484) or Dell's Studio One 19 (from $699).
