What is an All-in-One PC?
An all-in-one computer is a desktop computer that integrates a microprocessor, a motherboard, a hard disk, a screen, a speaker, a video lens and a display. The block was originally developed for Apple, which brought several all-in-ones to the market, such as the original Macintosh from the 1980s and iMacs from the 1990s and 2000s, but had low market visibility due to high prices. In 2009, Intel launched the low-cost CPU Intel Atom, which prompted various computer manufacturers to increase the design and mass production of AIO models.
Why choose an All-in-One PC?
The all-in-one computer is a new type of market product between desktop computers and notebook computers. It integrates the host part and the display part into a new form of computer. The innovation of this product lies in the high integration of internal components. With the development of wireless technology, the keyboard, mouse and monitor of the all-in-one computer can be wirelessly linked, and the machine has only one power cord. This solves the problem of many and complicated desktop cables that have been criticized for a long time. In the existing and future market, as the share of desktop computers gradually decreases, it will definitely be more precarious after encountering the impact of all-in-one computers, notebooks and netbooks. And the advantages of the all-in-one machine have been accepted by people (it has become popular abroad) and it has become another highlight of their choice.
The benefits of buying an All-in One PC.
1. Fashionable appearance, light and delicate. The highly integrated design is simple and fashionable, and the colorful appearance shows the user’s exquisite life taste!
2. The all-in-one machine saves more space than the general desktop. The LCD all-in-one machine is a machine that integrates the host, the LCD monitor and the speaker. It puts the hardware of the host behind the LCD monitor and compresses it as much as possible. It also has built-in speakers to make it as small as possible. , so that the user can greatly save the space for placing the machine. This is of great significance for urban users who are “an inch of land and an inch of gold”.
3. The price of the all-in-one machine is moderate. The integration of the all-in-one machine is high, shouldn’t it be expensive? Like many friends, after reading some articles saying that the price of LCD all-in-one machines is too high, I began to think that this should be the case. But it was only after a closer look that it became clear that this was not the case.
4. Good mobility and high portability. Because the liquid crystal all-in-one machine integrates the host, display and speakers, its volume and total weight are smaller than ordinary desktop computers, only more than ten kilograms, which greatly facilitates the user to move the machine. Its internal integration is very high, and the connection of various accessories is directly drawn from the PCB, which saves many data cables in the past, and the compact body also saves the large packaging and transportation costs in the past.
5. Reduce costs for your life and bring greater benefits! The all-in-one machine not only saves space, but also reduces the cost of living, saving you high electricity bills. The power consumption of an ordinary computer ranges from 200W to 400W or even higher (depending on the configuration and performance), while the power consumption of an all-in-one computer is about 60W to 200W, such as the Samsung A100 all-in-one computer. The peak power consumption of the test software is only 60W as shown in the figure: In this way, the power consumption of one hour of use is about the same as the power consumption of a light bulb. If it is used for home use, it will save a lot of money in a year. If it is for commercial use Such as Internet cafes, hotels, companies are saving a lot of costs.
Future market analysis of All-in-One PC
Manufacturers flock to further mature the all-in-one computer market
The survey data on the low awareness of all-in-one computers in the market shows that more than 70% of users say they have heard a little but don’t know much about it. Only 22.8% of users said they knew everything well. 4.9% of users said they had never heard of it.
It can be seen from this data that, on the one hand, before 2008, the vast majority of domestic PC manufacturers did not enter the all-in-one computer market, which resulted in the concept of all-in-one computers not being well known to many consumers. On the other hand, the promotion of all-in-one computers by manufacturers is not enough, resulting in low awareness among consumers.
In 2009, the all-in-one computer will break through the predicament, and the awareness will gradually increase. The all-in-one computer market is no longer stagnant. Except for the pioneers such as Apple, HP, Sony, and Shenzhou, Samsung, Lenovo, Dell, Founder, Asus, BenQ and even many barebone system manufacturers They have also joined the ranks of all-in-one computers. The richness of products and brands allows users to have more choices. Under the influence of these factors, the all-in-one computer market will be further matured, and the awareness of users will also increase.
The development of traditional desktop computers encounters difficulties, and the rise of all-in-one computers
Traditional desktop computers face a harsh living environment. On the one hand, the sales of traditional desktop computers are surpassed by notebooks, and the DIY market, which is losing money and making a profit, is also pressing step by step, and traditional desktop computers are gradually coming to an end. At this time, the all-in-one computer became the focus of the market.
On the other hand, there is a bottleneck in the development of traditional desktop computers, which cannot be as small and portable as notebook computers in terms of volume. At this critical moment, the all-in-one computer acts as a savior and is expected to become the new favorite in the market.
All-in-one computer all-in-one will become a new market growth point after netbooks
According to the data of the survey agency, the share of all-in-one computers in the global PC market is only about 3%, and the vast majority of consumer groups are abroad. But it is expected that by 2015, the global market share of all-in-one PCs will grow to 7%. From this data, it can be seen that in the next few years, the all-in-one computer will drive the consumption of the PC market, and the Chinese market will become the focus of competition among manufacturers.
IDC research shows that all-in-one PCs are in their infancy in emerging markets, but their market growth is accelerating. For example, Sony launched an all-in-one computer, but the market performance was not satisfactory before, and in 2008 alone, its sales increased by 5 times. This reflects that all-in-one computers will become a new market growth point after netbooks.
Compared with traditional desktop computers, all-in-one computers have the advantage of saving space and placing them in any position. Compared with notebook computers, all-in-one computers have the advantages of large screen, high configuration and relatively low price. Although all-in-one computers survive in the gap between traditional desktop computers and notebook computers, this compromise positioning allows all-in-one computers to gain development space between notebooks and desktop computers. With the gradual development of users and market demands, all-in-one computers Computers are expected to open up a new market and become the next blue ocean.
Differentiated features expand the development space of all-in-one computers
According to the survey data, for all-in-one computers, what consumers value more is not discrete graphics cards, processors and other configurations, but beauty and comfort. In addition, more than 80% of users believe that the most suitable location for all-in-one computers is in the study and bedroom.
Computers are now an indispensable tool, and more and more families have a second or even a third computer. Compared with the first computer, which generally pursues performance, the second computer is more as long as it can meet daily needs. At this time, the all-in-one computer with the characteristics of fashionable appearance, convenient placement, space saving, and satisfying home design is favored by users, catering to the needs of trendy families.
At the same time, the all-in-one computer can be placed in the living room or in the bedroom, which can increase the owner’s taste and show a unique personality. It is more suitable for the role of a living room PC, that is, a home appliance computer. This difference with the differentiated features of desktop computers and notebooks will expand the development space of all-in-one computers.
Multi-touch technology has become an opportunity for the development of all-in-one computers
Multi-touch technology is a highlight of all-in-one computers. HP, ASUS, MSI, Haoxin and other manufacturers have successively launched all-in-one computers with multi-touch technology. Relying on multi-touch technology, users can switch, shift, zoom in, zoom out and rotate pictures with intuitive finger operations (drag, pinch, pinch, and rotate), and realize page turning and text scaling of documents and web pages.
The addition of multi-touch technology enhances the core competitiveness of all-in-one computers, becomes an opportunity for the development of all-in-one computers, and points out a direction for future all-in-one computer products.
The key to the development of all-in-one computers depends on the price of the product
The development opportunities of all-in-one computers outweigh the challenges, but under the double attack of desktops and notebooks, the development prospects of all-in-one computers are not infinitely broad, and the key to development depends on product prices.
Over 50% of users hope that the development direction of all-in-one computers is approachable and ultra-low prices
The most important factor restricting the development of all-in-one computer is product price. 3,000-4,000 yuan desktop and 4,000-5,000 yuan notebooks can already meet the vast majority of mainstream applications, and many low-cost desktops, notebooks and netbooks have emerged in the market.
However, judging from the market price of all-in-one computers, the price of mainstream models of most brands is around 10,000 yuan. Although some manufacturers have launched all-in-one computers for 5,000-6,000 yuan, the products are not rich enough and the prices are still too high. , which hindered the development of all-in-one computers.
Among the users who participated in the survey, more than 50% of the users want all-in-one computers to have an approachable and ultra-low price. It can be seen that major manufacturers need to launch cheap models with prices more in line with mass users, and the configuration should also be more reasonable, so as to enhance consumers’ desire to buy.
