All in One Desktops

[IDemo]

16. I've opened up numerous HP AIO's over the past month

They've gone out of their way to make it dirt simple. Most require loosening 3 to 5 screws and a bit of nudging around the edges to open up. The Z1 actually opens with two clips like a briefcase and even has a strut to hold the works open. The HDD and optical drives are removable in seconds. While you won't be upgrading the motherboard or video card, replacing memory and drives is so easy a nine year old could do it.

The new iMac is another story entirely, requiring a heat gun to melt the glue keeping the screen attached to the chassis. No thanks!
