14 DAY TRIAL // It appears that tablets and laptops aren't the only things that Micro-Star International has been working on as of late, the outfit having also prepared a whole collection of all-in-one system.
Since the 2011 edition of the Computex trade show is now ready to rumble, it stands to reason that press releases will be coming out one after another over the next few days.
In other words, the two 10-inch tablets and the new gaming notebook equipped with NVIDIA's latest mobile graphics card are just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
Much like ASUS, whose lineup includes, among other things, N Series notebooks and AiOs, Oak Trail netbooks and UX ultraportables, MSI has a large lineup to show off.
Said lineup includes a number of all-in-one systems that, naturally, will become new additions to the long standing Wind Top series.
Dubbed Wind Top AE2211G, AE2211 and AP2011, they are all based on second generation Intel Core central processing units (Sandy Bridge).
They also have displays of 21.5 inches in diagonal, all three with support for Full HD image quality (resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels).
An asset their kind doesn't feature that often is touch/multitouch support, but such technology is very much present here.
What's more, MSI threw in HDMI outputs (for streaming media to auxiliary HDTVs or monitors), plus the Wind Touch 4 user interface to go with the Windows 7 operating system.
Finally, Micro-Star International made sure that all three all-in-one computers have LED backlights, so that their power draw might be low enough that they can rightfully be labeled “green” electronics. What remains is to wait and see when they start selling and at what prices.
All in all, the newcomers are shaped to mark the beginning of a new era in PC visual performance and ease of use,” according to the press release.
