Definition: all-in-one

(1) A combination printer, scanner, copy machine and fax machine. Some all-in-ones exclude the fax capability or make it an option.

(2) A desktop computer that houses every component except the keyboard and mouse inside the same case as the monitor. Its primary advantage is that there are no additional cases that take up space on the top of the desk or floor; however, there is generally limited or no internal expansion available.
