This kind of sounds like Project Ara, but with computers. However, when you are building your own desktop, you can practically upgrade your components overtime for better performance, so how is this modular PC going to be any different? Well, if we take a look at the images, it looks like the modular components are going to be a part of an AIO, or ‘All in one’ PC, in which all components are soldered inside a computer display, and you will not require a separate computer casing to place all those components....
