I've been wondering if the latest crop of higher-end Windows all-in-one PC's would be suitable for editing video. As an example, Dell's Inspiron 23 offers the following:

- 4th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ processor (6M Cache, up to 3.4 GHz)
- 12GB Dual Channel DDR3 1600MHz - 2 DIMMs
- AMD Radeon™ HD 8690A with 2GB GDDR5 with 180W adapter

If an iMac AIO can edit video, I see no reason why the Dell (or something similar) wouldn't work. Or am I missing something here?

Probably do the job
The lack of expansion pcie slot is one issue although not critical

An AIO is nothing more than a laptop in a different housing with a better screen. See Tweakers Page - What about Laptops? (http://ppbm7.com/index.php/tweakers-page/91-what-about-laptops/102-what-about-laptops)

A desktop offers far more expandability and is significantly faster.
