14 DAY TRIAL // We wrote about many Vizio products, but none of them have been PCs, and this will change this month (June, 2012), as the TV maker broadens the scope of its operations.
The company decided to make some laptops and all-in-one computers.
Design-wise, they resemble Apple's Macs and Macbooks somewhat, but that is where the similarities end, for the most part.
Vizio has even taken a firm anti-bloatware stance, meaning that it won't pre-load its systems with proprietary software of any sort.
“We are excited about the official VIZIO PC launch this month. We will be withholding any comments regarding previously unannounced product specs and retail channels until our official launch. At that time, we will be announcing all of the exciting details around these highly anticipated PCs,” Vizio reportedly said.
The Vizio laptops will be “mid-sized,” which suggests diagonals of 14-15 inches, maybe even 13.3 inches if there are ultrabook-type models among them.
As for the all-in-ones, they will come in 24-inch and 27-inch form factors.
