Those crazy kids over at Computer Shopper have got their hot hands on MSI's all-in-one Wind Top AE1900, and have been cool enough to share their thoughts with us. Sure, the thing is pretty snazzy (if not at all cutting edge, design-wise), and the 1.6GHz Atom CPU means that it's easy on the power use, but the reviewer feels that the $599 price tag is a bit much -- especially since it's outclassed by the similar Dell Studio One 19 (which'll only run you around $150 more). Other not-so-awesome factors include some seriously weak speakers, the fact that it ships with Windows Vista Basic (sans Media Center), and the Wind Touch software is apparently pretty awkward and counter-intuitive. But who knows? Maybe this bad boy will be right up your alley. Stranger things have happened. Hit that read link and decide for yourself.
kinda reminds me of a decade-old design language from a fruit-logo company...
"So close"
So MSI finally caught up to Apple of 1999
Nah, Apple never had a touchscreen AIO.
The kids at Computer shopper have hot hands?
...Do you realise how much turmoil I'm in, forcing myself not to say something disgusting?
Am a PC, but this thing is bitch ass fugly... Christ! and checkout the "wind touch" interface, Just total bullshit!!!. The Dell studio One 19 is the prettiest and best all in one pc i've seen
Cheap all in one hackintosh.. I'll pick up one for gramma and osx-ise it.
Wait, it has vista? Why? Yes i see that it has the atom duel core, but come on. That is just plain stupid. The price is also kinda high, maybe $499 would have been better. Maybe you can get a downgrade to xp? Or if all else fails, Hackintosh...
first
I don't understand why all these new nettops are using Intel's Atom processor. There are way better CPUs that are low power than the Atom and power shouldn't be that big of an issue on something that is always plugged in.
You do realize cpus like C2D's generate more heat.
Dont you think its strange that only NOW are companies putting out all in ones, after Apple has been doing it for years? Its because more money can be made by using boxes instead of all in ones. Generic parts can be used. All in ones create more heat and need miniaturized parts. Heck Apples iMac is basically a standing up laptop.
The atom is cooler and cheaper, the Mini9 showed it doesnt even need a fan.
Wait.. you mean Computer Shopper still exists?!
Why would you need a touchscreenon a PC?
the mouse does a perfect job and you don't get fingerprints all over the screen
I can't wait until the tech support calls come in.
CALLER: Hello, I think my Wind is broken.
TECHIE: Okay, do you detect an odor?
The software is terrible. It's so bad I recommend disabling it.
I havn't opened ours yet, but I hear the RAM might be soldered to the board.
The software? Awful? What do you expect? IT'S A CHINK COMPUTER WITH CHINK SOFTWARE. Those Orientals just can't develop good software. Sheyte, look at their language. Brain-damaged! Same with their whole user-interface design and functionality. Even Canon and Nikon can't put out good useable software.
This product is a turkey. It's probably got some kind of Chink ripoff copyright violation in it too... flucking basstarts. They need to choke on their own smoke.
