14 DAY TRIAL // It really looks like the IT market is getting back to its routine of getting supplied with new devices on a regular basis, now that even MSI is letting loose with both Intel and AMD-powered products, in this case an AiO.
End-users keeping track of happenings on the consumer market will have most likely seen that, all of a sudden, the rate of new product launches isn't as slow as it was.
One reason for this is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590, the new dual-GPU DirectX 11 graphics card, and the versions made by all other OEMs (ASUS is an example).
This, of course, comes besides how Intel and its partners have surpassed the faulty chipset problem and are once again launching PCs and motherboards without delays.
Micro-Star International itself launched (again) the CX680 gaming notebook, powered by a high-end, quad-core Sandy Bridge processor.
What MSI also did, however, was finally create some machines based on AMD's Fusion platform, in this case the E-350 APU (accelerated processing unit).
For those that do not remember, it is a dual-core chip with a clock speed of 1.6 GHz and integrated graphics (Radeon HD 6310, DirectX 11-ready).
One of the two newcomers is a laptop named CR650, which we have already covered in a separate article.
The other Fusion device is an all-in-one PC names AE2050 and set to soon start shipping through Amazon and Newegg, for the price of $679.99.
The processor is paired with up to 4 GB of RAM (random access memory) and backed up by a hard disk drive, whose internal capacity can top 1 TB.
Speaking of storage, there is also mention of a Blu-ray drive, which can also fill in as a media player.
Finally, USB 3.0 is present and the 20-inch LCD has support for multi-touch input.
