Top 5 all-in-one PCs

Big-screen all-in-one PCs are increasingly dual-purpose devices: You can use them as computers for playing PC games, using productivity apps, surfing the web and more. But thanks to HDMI inputs, you can also connect a gaming console like an Xbox 360 and play those types of games, or plug in a your cable or satellite TV service provider's set-top box and watch TV! Blu-ray drives were once de rigeur on high-end all-in-ones, but that feature seems to be falling by the wayside as manufacturers assume consumers will watching movies online. Several models boast touch screens to take advantage of Windows 8, but that feature can add considerably to the price tag of units with 27-inch displays.
