Amen brother! The reality of 'one size fits all' is 'one size fits no
one especially well'.

You are a godsend to the hardware manufacturers, they love you!

Why would that be when you are the one purchasing multiple USB
accessories to fulfill your supposed all-in-one vision.

My TV, radio, stereo, MP3 player, DVD recorder/player, etc. all travel
in my briefcase as USB Dongles or software. That size fits me well! ROFLOL

It sounds like you're describing my 3 y.o. laptop that has all that
hardware built-in. To use the box and all the devices it is simply a
matter of booting up. There is no need to unpack and connect a bunch
of peripherals. When done I can close the lid and go w/o the need to
disconnect and re-pack a bunch of peripherals. It's much closer to
being an all-in-one device than your box with all its external
accessories.

You might want to refrain from using the term 'USB dongle' to describe
anything that plugs into a USB port.

To each his/her own,
