There seem to be some 15 inch all-in-ones but these days if what you want is a small form factor the answer is surely a laptop. Even if you're just going to keep it on the same desk forever that's what you'd get if you want 15 inch or smaller.

I could see a “portable” all in one being successful. Something closer to the first Mac where it had a handle in the back with a built in screen. In the 10-14” screen range. Back in the day, my mom had an internet appliance (light browsing and email only) which was close to what we’re taking about. She loved it.

You’re of course looking at all laptop parts, but the form factor would be part of the appeal. Then again, an iPad dock would also probably cover this form factor for about the same cost.
