14 DAY TRIAL // Toshiba is making good on its status as supplier of various PCs and consumer electronics by announcing a whole bunch of items, one of which is the DX735 all-in-one PC.
The market for all-in-one computers is one that, though not overly extensive, is, nonetheless, a fairly healthy one.
The fact that general pricing of such computers has somewhat decreased over the past couple of years helped, as did the ever-improving power efficiency standards in IT.
The Toshiba DX735 is the latest such item to leave Toshiba's labs, headed for the October 2, 2011 availability date.
Once the time comes, prospective buyers will have to pay at least $956.99 (709.40 Euro) in exchange for it.
As with all computers, the price will go up depending on what hardware components buyers select.
The CPU (central processing unit) is the main customizable feature, with options coming from both the Core i5 and Corer i7 series.
All chips belong to the second generation of such products, codenamed Intel Sandy Bridge and featuring integrated graphics (GMA HD).
It is that GPU that handles all video playback tasks, and every other multimedia feature, while the 23-inch FULL HD screen (native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels) displays it for all to see.
The rest of the feature set is more or less what consumers have grown used to reading or hearing about.
A hard disk drive, for instance, offers 1 TB of storage (the rotary speed of the platters is 7200 RPM), while 4 GB of RAM (random access memory) make sure whatever CPU is chosen is never strapped for resources.
Other components are a DVD writer, a multi-touch panel, USB 3.0 (one port), Onkyo Stereo speakers, and, if so chosen, a TV tuner.
Everything is housed inside a glossy black case and sits atop an aluminum stand, while the bundled Bluetooth wireless mouse and keyboard cover the interactivity side of the equation.
