Windows vs Android All-in-One Touchscreen Tills

12 Nov 2026

All-in-one touchscreen tills come in both Windows and Android flavours. As with kiosks, the right platform is dictated mainly by the EPOS software you intend to run.

Windows all-in-ones

If your EPOS is a Windows application, or you need rich peripheral and back-office integration, a Windows all-in-one is the natural choice. It’s also familiar ground for most IT support.

Android all-in-ones

Android all-in-ones are typically lighter and lower cost, and boot quickly. For cloud- or app-based EPOS, they’re a lean, cost-effective option that’s easy to roll out across sites.

How to decide

Match the OS to your software first, then weigh cost, how you’ll manage and update the devices, and the long-term support behind the hardware.

HiStone all-in-one tills are available in both Windows and Android, so your software choice comes first. B-Spoke Systems can help you specify the right one.
