all-in-one

(1) A combination printer, scanner, copy machine and fax machine. Some all-in-ones exclude the fax capability or make it an option.

(2) A desktop computer that houses every component except the keyboard and mouse inside the same case as the monitor. Its primary advantage is that there are no additional cases that take up space on the top of the desk or floor; however, there is generally limited or no internal expansion available.

An iMac All-In-One

With the computer inside the monitor, iMacs have been very popular since their introduction in 1998 in a bulky CRT case. Apple has a penchant for ultra-slick designs as is evident in this 2009 iMac model (see iMac). (Image courtesy of Apple Inc.)
