Get a laptop and an Apple TV or other media box - you really don't want a 3rd rate all-in-one.

with a tiny screen? The op has already stated what he wants so advice to that effect would be useful.

I'm very happy with my new all in one which looks very neat, works well for my needs and is great for watching online media on the 23.6 inch screen. I currently have it connected to skyhd box {sky sub runs out in a few weeks at which point I will be going sky and TV license free and just using catchup services and YouTube etc, I sold the TV to help pay for this, I needed a new computer as well)

You are never going to do any back-ups? Don't have a tablet or phone or music player to sync? Aren't going to hook it up to some decent speakers?

Hey, I have bought all-in-ones, but 'cable-free' is not a feature of them.

Rubbish!

My printer is wireless and accessible by any device connected to the wireless network. My Phone and tablet sync using Airdroid and the backups are done wirlessly to the NAS drive.

I was just giving a better alternative. I presume the OP has a TV larger than a miserly 23.6 inches

What make and model do you have?
I am looking for a screen size of around 23"
Thanks

Well I'd feel remiss if I didn't weigh in with all the reasons people usually avoid these horrible all in one things:

ie all the negatives of a laptop

-impossible to add components/drives to or upgrade
-very expensive to repairs as you can't simply replace any failed component with a standard replacement one by popping the case open
-more expensive to buy for similar spec vs a desktop / small form desktop
-tend to suffer heat issues

with none of the advantages of a laptop
-it's not portable
-you still have cable clutter to deal with

But since the OP has already decided on an all in one that's all I'll say on the matter

Backups done via WiFi to NAS
Tablet and Phone sync via WiFi after initial paring
For playing music done via WiFi to HiFi and not bothered for better sound quality when browsing the web/ playing angry birds etc

I have an all in one and the only two cables it has is the power to the unit and a USB to a charging platform for the wireless mouse and keyboard. If you want to go further you could get a separate charger or use non-rechargeable batteries in the keyboard/ mouse and reduce it to a single cable.
