They may not boast a name like the "
F-Bomb," but Eurocom's new all-in-one LV190 and LV220 ViiVA systems look like they should be able to garner a fair bit of attention on their own. Boasting 19- and 22-inch widescreen displays, respectively, the systems can be configured with your choice of Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Extreme processors, NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 graphics, a max 4GB of RAM, up to two 500GB hard drives, and an internal TV tuner, among other options. Knocking things down a notch, however, is the somewhat lackluster 1680 x 1050 resolution on the 22-inch display, and an even lower 1440 x 900 on the 19-incher. If that's not a deal breaker for ya', you can get your order in now, with systems starting around $1,500 and going up considerably as you pack on the upgrades.

I am very impressed. It took 2 years for the PC industry to discover the iMac concept. Let's hope Apple copyrighted their design and will sue these incompetant makers.
I would like to know why on Earth, a computer user would prefer these Wintel PCs instead of a near-to-perfect iMac that are not so expensive after all. Also, I will not be surprised if the new iMac to be announced later this year will not kill these unborn devices.

The not so expensive ones are the low to mid-end models (like the MacBook); there's quite a gap between MacBook and MacBook Pro.
Of course, I wouldn't mind switching if someone can confirm that Adobe CS3 runs a lot better on the Intel Mac than Windows PC.

if this was a touch screen unit with presure sensitivity, and a virtual, on screen keyboard... it would be simply killer for artist...

I'm sorry, but just how does the author define 1680x1050 "lackluster" for a 22" screen? That is simply the standard resolution for 20-22" widescreen lcd's...........doh!! Same goes for the 19" widescreen.
Engadget's articles have been somewhat lacking in spelling, depth, and correctness as of late. Can't find a good witty comment to throw in? Then DON'T!
