It took Apple several years to revamp its ill-fated 'trashcan' Mac Pro, before finally launching a new Mac Pro at the end of 2019, but workstation-class tower systems are the bread-and-butter business of many PC manufacturers, so there's no shortage of powerful, expandable desktop systems available for Windows users.įollowing the recent launch of the M1-based iMac, creators now have a wide choice of desktop platforms and form factors: Intel Mac (Mini, iMac, Mac Pro), M1 Mac (Mini, iMac), and Intel/Windows (mini-desktop, small form factor, AIO, tower). The weakness with all-in-one designs such as these is, of course, their limited scope for expansion. Meanwhile, HP has outgunned the 27-inch iMac with imposing 32-inch and curved 34-inch AIOs. Many of these designs are imitations bordering on the slavish, but some PC manufacturers have come up with interesting angles of their own, with features such as the adjustable, touch-sensitive display of Microsoft's Surface Studio, which can be lowered right down onto the desktop and used like a traditional drawing board for design and illustration work. In recent years, the elegant, all-in-one (AIO) designs of Apple's iMac have proved popular with many creative users and - as is so often the case - have inspired many similar designs from manufacturers of Windows PCs.
