Does anyone use an All-In-One computer for Adobe CC processing? If so I would like to here from you as to your opinion as to what you have and what you would recommend. Thank you.

I don't use Adobe CC. I have found that you need a dedicated graphics board to really process photos, something that I've not seen in the "all-in-one PC). I would venture to say a graphics board with at least 2 gig of dedicated RAM, 16 gig system RAM.
I've always said, get the biggest, baddest system you can afford, because tomorrow it will be outdated.

I use a MacBook Pro Retina screen and an iMac Desktop both with 16gb Ram and Itel 7 processor's
the MacBook Pro has a 500gb SSD storage the iMac has a Seagate 1 TB Storage...I use several external drives some ssd most regular Sata type drives.
All of them run well with Lightroom/Photoshop both Cd loaded and Creative Cloud..
thus far have had no issues..other than increased heat when doing heavy processing...added an a small external fan and a thermo device to record temp...
Very Very happy with my set up.
good luck to ya.

I have a Toshiba "All in one" computer. I love it. It processes Photoshop, LR 6, Photomatix Pro, DxO Optics, Smart Photo Editor, Portrait Pro, Foto Sketcher, and Perfect Effects without any problems. I did not need to install a special graphics card or anything. I made sure I purchased one with max RAM and a large hard drive. I do not keep any photos on the computer. All are downloaded to another hard drive. I just use the big hard drive in the computer for programs. Works just great and doesn't take up room with a tower.

iMac. Works like a champ. Runs OS X AND Windows 7 Professional. No crap ware, bloat ware, anti-anything ware under Mac OS X. No problems. Under Windows, well, it's like any other PC. (Mac hardware is PC hardware.)
There are purists who will tell you you need a desktop computer with a high end graphics card and 10-bit monitor and screaming fast raid arrays, 32 GB RAM, SSD disk, and other exotic hardware... I'm not one of them. If you can afford that, go for it.
You can get extremely pleasing results if you calibrate your monitor correctly. Unless you are working on HUGE files for massively large inkjet prints, any computer made since 2010 with an Intel 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo processor or better and 8GB RAM will run CC just fine.
Heck, we made thousands of up to 40x60-inch inkjet prints on a PowerMac G4 from 1999 at the lab where I worked. When we retired it after five years of 24/7 use, I took it home. It still sits in my office, and it still works fine with Photoshop 7 and Office 2004. My kids use it for homework and my wife uses it for email.
The dirty little secret of most midrange PCs is that they sit around downloading updates, processing everything through anti-virus and anti-malware programs, and maybe, an hour or two after you turn them on, the processor will finally be 100% available for real work.
One more note... Creative Cloud apps run fast, when you keep your files LOCAL. If you are swapping files from the cloud down to your computer, editing them, and sending them back up, it can be interminably slow. That's a function of the Internet, not your computer.
