Monoblock is a relatively new type of personal computer. Outwardly, it looks like a regular LCD monitor. But in fact, inside it is hidden the filling of a modern powerful computer. Monoblocks have both a number of advantages and some disadvantages.
The main advantages of monoblocks are associated with their compactness. Unlike a personal computer, they take up less space and are free from a string of wires. In monoblocks, components from laptops are often used. They are smaller in size, low in noise and low in power consumption.
Monoblock is modern, stylish and aesthetically pleasing. They fit easily into the interior and do not require a separate space. It is also worth mentioning that monoblocks are equipped with built-in speakers, which are certainly worse than an external sound system, but better than laptop speakers.
Besides monoblocks are often equipped with touch screens, which makes them an incomparable device in terms of functionality and opens up a lot of new possibilities for the user.
The disadvantages of monoblocks include their relatively high cost. For example, a laptop with a similar filling can cost 20-40% cheaper than a candy bar, and if it is equipped with a touch screen, then its price will be even higher.
Another drawback is the problem of repair and upgrade. In an ordinary PC, you can always dig yourself, replace any part, install an additional hard drive, etc. This won't work with a candy bar. In case of any malfunction, it will need to be carried to a service center, and if you want to increase performance, you will have to change the device completely.
The compactness of monoblocks is certainly inferior to laptops. You can't take such a device on the road. A monoblock is more suitable for people who need a fully functional computer that would not take up much space and fit well into the interior. As a result, all-in-one PCs are increasingly used in office equipment, where it is required that the compactness of a laptop is combined with high performance and aesthetic qualities.
