After having been showcased at
CeBIT in Hanover, Germany, the new Wind Top AE1900 has just been officially introduced by MSI. According to the Taiwanese company, the new system is expected to provide users with an easy-to-use, low-power, all-in-one
desktop PC that can easily be used in almost any part of your home. The system is based on the familiar Intel Atom platform and boasts touchscreen technology, which makes it easy for users to interact with the system.
For those who went to CeBIT this year, the specifications of the Wind Top AE1900 are no secret; however, for the majority of computer users the AP1900 comes as a new product all together. The system is powered by one of Intel's latest Atom processors, the Atom 230, which can operate at between 1 and 2.5 watts, increasing the energy-saving features of the new Wind Top all-in-one.
Based on the integrated Intel GMA950 graphics chipset, the Wind Top AE1900 is featured with an 18.5-inch WSXGA 16:9 LCD screen surrounded by a transparent frame. One of the main features of this 18.5-inch display is that it boasts touchscreen technology, enabling users to easily interact with the system.
Aside from that, the AE1900 is featured with 2GB of DDR2 memory, a 160GB SATA hard drive, two HD audio speakers, a 1.3MP webcam, a 4-in-1 card reader and a DVD Super-Multi optical drive. The system has four USB 2.0 ports, one RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet LAN port and 802.11 b/g/n wireless connectivity.
As it is designed on Intel's Atom technology the new MSI Wind Top AE1900 needs only 45 watts of power while at its full operating potential. This basically enables an 80% power save compared to traditional PCs, making the AP1900 all the more suitable for home users.
