New Toshiba All-in-One PC Works All Angles

Toshiba may have recently made a move on the mobile PC market, but this doesn't mean it can't offer an all-in-one system around the same time as well, this being exactly what happened, as shown by a press release.

It looks like Toshiba really took the concept of all-in-one PC and went to the logical extreme with it, so to speak, when it created the DX1215.

Apparently, the company wanted a system fully capable of acting as a home media hub that can visually fit in any room (bedroom, living room, dorm room, even the kitchen).

Visually, it has a glossy black and silver color scheme, while the performance is not one that leaves users wanting.

More specifically, an Intel Core i5 or Core i7 central processing unit (CPU) is backed up by an unspecified amount of RAM.

Also, the hard disk drive of 1 TB definitely can hold onto many films, photos and music filed, while a DVD SuperMulti drive does the disk burning and playback.

The announcement also lists USB 2.0, USB 3.0, Toshiba Sleep & Music (users can use the AiO speakers even if the PC is off), HDMI and other things as part of the product feature set.

“Toshiba combined its experience with computing platforms and visual products to create an All-in-One that truly complements the living situations of our customers with a PC that offers high performance, premium features and unique styling,” said Carl Pinto, vice president of product development, Toshiba America Information Systems, Digital Products Division.

“We’ve designed the DX1215 to serve as the optimal entertainment hub for families, college students and those who consume a large amount of digital entertainment in their homes and want the finest audio experience.”

Set to start shipping on the third of July, 2011, the Toshiba DX1215 has a starting price of $929.99 and comes bundled with a Bluetooth wireless keyboard (media buttons and 10-keypad), plus a glossy black wireless mouse.
