While Dave has stated his preference against PC based instruments, big labs use full PC integration. Its very much the operating principle of LabView, controlling even the usual knobs and screen instruments all together in one console making the hardware screen and knobs redundant.
What really makes PC integrated instruments better is if you can get a touch screen on your PC so you wouldn't be limited to mouse or KB inputs only, it would make it like a 'Star Trek' console, and you can adjust with all your fingers instead of just one mouse pointer or worse, cursor keys!
However, for small labs I prefer as Dave, stand alone instruments, because its faster to adjust [ I can adjust 2 knobs together for example] and should something go wrong and the PC gets bricked, it could take all the instruments with it. Many USB instruments aren't that much more cheaper than stand alone instruments, to simply recommend them over traditional instruments. The Hantek 3x25 is more an exception in price performance, IMHO.
