Barebone personal computers most often come packaged inside small, rectangular cases not much larger than routers. They usually have routers' ability to lay flat or stand upright as well. Huntkey has launched a different sort of Barebone though.

Which is to say, the company has released a couple of Barebone all-in-one PCs, complete with liquid crystal display panels.

Said displays both support the Full HD resolution, full high definition, known for the pixel ratio of 1920 x 1080.

The screen is a CHIMEI A+ LED display with 16:9 widescreen in both cases.

“These new PIO desktops deliver stunning video, while In Plane Switching (IPS) technology means you can enjoy a perfect viewing experience from wide angles,” the company wrote.

One of the systems, the Huntkey HA212, measures 21.5 inches in diagonal, while the other one, called HA230, is, sure enough, a 23-inch computer.

Spec-wise, the HA230 has 95W (or less) TDP CPU (from Intel), a 150W FLEX power supply and 3W speakers. A 3.5-inch SATA 2 HDD can be installed inside, along with one or two memory slots (small ones).

The HA212 is the same, other than the obvious size disparity. Huntkey also outfitted the things with 0.3 megapixel cameras and optional touch technology. That's right, you can install a touch panel over those LCDs.

Finally, the Huntkey HA212 and HA230 boast two USB 2.0 ports (each), an audio jack and a microphone jack.

In other words, the newcomers are standard barebones but in an unusual package. Not because they are AiOs, but because they have multiple stand offerings and, though it won't ever actually be in view, a nice circular support at the back.

Huntkey's HA212 and HA230 PIO desktops are made for businesses and enterprises, where they will supposedly bring better productivity and add to the atmosphere in an office through their stylish appearance, as the company called it. Prices are unknown.
