What's your favorite all in one computer?

Any business-grade ones are very good, including ThinkCentre (Neo are cheaper but seem fine to me so far), Optiplex, ProOne, EliteOne.
I have also supplied HP, Lenovo, Dell, Asus consumer-grade ones and they've also been quite reliable. I only supply ones with onsite warranty because I don't want to pack up and send one off for warranty on behalf of the customer.

The Lenovo Tiny & Dell micros are functionally equivalent, but the Dell solution isn't as clean as the Lenovo one. There are extra wires needed in the Dell setup because the computer doesn't make a physical connection to the monitor like the Lenovo does. Fewer wires, a few bucks less expensive = win win.

Had a few Lenovo AIOs we set up a number of years ago- they were fine. Last 7-8 years only have been using Dell OptiPlex. No problems. I have 2 of them myself that my wife uses at home, and at our summer place.

I've got a bunch of the Lenovo Tiny + TIO monitors out there now (maybe 100) and have installed maybe 1000 of their ThinkCentre AIOs over the years. The Tiny-in-One formfactor has really grown on me, and they have non-TIO monitors to match, so you can can do a multi-monitor setup that looks very polished. I started assembling PCs in the early 90's and its hard to wrap my mind around letting a Core i7 breath in a Tiny chassis... but they have been solid.

Just a Q about Onsite Warranty how does one receive that, I have never seen that option in my years. Is this direct purchase via the business such as Lenovo etc. Thanks

Business-grade computers usually have onsite warranty standard, nothing to buy and no extra paperwork needed. E.g. HP EliteBook 800 series have 3 years onsite standard.

Extended warranty (e.g. 3yrs to 5yrs) is available from distributors of business-grade computers. HP calls them a Care Pack. These are sent to me electronically and need to be registered online with device serial no and end-user purchase date.

Note that some consumer-grade desktops also have onsite warranty, most All-In-Ones do and some brand-name towers. It's probably because of the difficulty packing them up for returns by post/courier.

When looking at the models, see what they come with....and check options.
Wholesalers/distributors will offer the "upgrades".....for example, a base model may come with just a 1 year warranty, or 3 year warranty...perhaps just a "depot warranty" where you ship it to them. And you may find upgrade options for the warranty to make it "Premium"..for 3 or 5 years. Some mid range and usually upper end models will default come with Premier warranties.
