Vizio starts in the PC market with its 24- and 27-inch All-in-One PCs .
Vizio, a company better known for producing TVs,
has joined the party with a couple of all-in-one units in 24- and
27-inch screen sizes that mark the company's entry into the PC market.
Vizio has now officially launched its “premium PC” line that
includes the Thin + Light Ultrabook, Vizio Notebook and All-in-One
desktops. Both the 24- and 27-inch All-in-One models offer 1920 x 1080
displays, 2.1 surround sound with SRS Premium Sound HD and a breakaway
subwoofer with integrated power supply.
Dual HDMI inputs are included
for the connection of a cable box or games console that allow the
display to be used when the PC is switched off.
The displays aren’t touchscreens, but the units do come with a wireless touchpad with multi-touch gesture
support and a remote control in addition to a wireless keyboard. The
keyboard also features a “V key” that offers a one touch shortcut to
streaming video services including Hulu Plus, Netflix and Vudu.
Configuration options include the choice of third generation Ivy
Bridge Core i3, i5 and i7 processors, discrete Kepler class Nvidia
GeForce GT 640M LE graphics card, and storage capacities ranging from
500 GB up to 1 TB with a 32 GB SSD. The SSD is installed on the
motherboard to take advantage of Intel’s Rapid Start Technology.
Vizio has obviously spent some time on the minimalist styling of its
All-in-One units, which see the slimline display sitting atop a die-cast
aluminum neck – however, it should be noted that the neck doesn’t allow
swivel, but only tilts up and down. Various ports are also located on
the side and rear of the base unit rather with none offered on the side
of the display.
Vizio’s All-in-One PCs start at US$898 for the base 24-inch model,
while the 27-inch units start at $1,098. They’re currently only
available from retailers in the U.S.
