The Fundamental Problem with All-in-One Computers – Part 2 |
|
|
My HP Z1
workstation set in a closet for about 6 months while
I searched for another LCD panel. I found one on
eBay in China and decided to other it. This panel
must have been a second that did not make it by HP’s
inspectors. |

The PC is Dead Fairy Tale |
|
|
Tech pundits
routinely post stories that the personal computer is
dead siting manufacture sales figures to prove their
point. Yet I bet 90 percent of computer users have
at least one conventional PC. The reality is you
haven’t purchased a PC in a number of years because
there is no compelling reason to do so. |

The Fundamental
Problem with All-in-One Computers |
|
|
Back in the 80’s
someone had an idea that a television (TV) and a video
recorder (VCR) should be combined into a single, compact
unit. The problem was that TV’s have a life expectancy
of 10 to 15 years. VCR’s, on the other hand, have a
life expectancy of 3 to 5 years. So for most of the
life of the TV the VCR was nothing more than an eyesore,
but at least the TV continued to work. |
