14 DAY TRIAL // Micro-Star International (MSI) just made the official introduction of its newest business-oriented all-in-one computer, one that can actually change the position of the screen.
The Wind Top AP2011, as MSI's newest all-in-one business computer is called, is one of those uncommon AiOs that can change from landscape to portrait positions at any moment.
This is owed to the adjustable stand whose rotation functions confer pivot, swivel and height adjustability.
The real perk lies in how the screen itself, the Windows desktop. automatically changes when the orientation is modified, like on smartphones.
It is here that MSI describes the ability, as well as all other features of the AiO.
The hardware inside of the Wind Top AP2011 revolves around an Intel Core i3 2100 or Pentium G620 CPUs (central processing unit).
With integrated Intel HD graphics, the chips are backed up by 2 GB of DDR3-1333 RAM (random access memory).
Of course, the RAM capacity can be expanded, all the way to 8 GB if buyers so choose.
Meanwhile, storage space is added to the equation by a SATA II hard disk drive (500 GB) and, when a memory card is handy, the 6-in-1 card reader as well.
Furthermore, the system boasts a 0.3 megapixel webcam, four USB 2.0 ports, headphone and mic jacks, two USB 3.0 connectors, a pair of 3W speakers and 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi.
Not only that, but an HDMI output is present as well, for when the 20-inch, 1,600 x 900 pixels LCD is not satisfactory.
An HDMI input exists too, ultimately allowing dual-screen operation, among other things, like simultaneous laptop/desktop connection and larger display use / projections.
Finally, the power consumption is of 90W / 120W, when the Core i5 CPU and not the Pentium is handling things anyway.
As one can guess, Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system was chosen (Home Premium or professional 64-bit).
