looking good,
but they're charging the price of a notebook for it.
400$ would've been a nice price.
ViewSonic products has been going down hill ever since. The only good thing they manage to create was the ViewSonic VX724.
19 inch panel.
I don't wanna be an A-hole, but they're "Froot Loops"
I think they're trying to avoid a lawsuit...
Sick pie chart!
no offense, but that looks like it was made in Apple iWork...
It is quite remarkable that it is made on a mac as well. Not to mention that it has no prpose being there.
Atom - Check
Glossy - Check
Crap OS - Check
Ill pass thanks.
I wouldn't go so far as to say XP sucks, yes it's old but it works and in many people's opinions is still a better choice than the bloatware called Vista.
bloatware called vista... its it 2008 in here?
Its only the better choice for ignorant people listening to the FUD anti Microsoft people spew, ive not had any issues with Vista and ive been using it since RC1.
Try Vista with Mini 12 and you'll know why Vista sucks.
I run Vista on my Aspire One i dont have any problems with it, most of the problems with Vista are due to the idiot sat in front of the keyboard.
2008 or not, Windows 7 RC1 still uses less recourses than even Vista SP2, heck even Windows 7 Beta was better than Vista.

Ah, if that is the case, forgive me, Junemas.
er.. do they mean this thing can run Keynote?)
crysis 2?
that was actually to test my avatar. still not working...
You need to have the picture resolution set to 64 x 64 for it to work.
someone free this chick from the monitor.
I'll take her, they can keep the computer.
Bezel/panel too large.. they should fatten it up and the back instead if they have too.
I don't see people complaining about the iMac and its massive chin, but if another company other than apple has a chin on an AIO PC everyone cries "OMGWTFBBQ IT IS TOO FAT THE WORLD IS GOING TO END!!!"*
*May have been a major dramatization...
this maybe double post:
edit: fatten it up AT the back
The chin on the apples looks smaller to me, or at least the designers have created an illusion so that it looks smaller, still most objective people will say the apples 'look better'.
Apple is like a rare piece of art, it is illegal to duplicate and it is hard to match it's subjective quality.
i happen to like the "chin" on these all-in-ones. My iMac has a chin, the Dell AIO's have chins.. it kinda lets the world know it's a computer, and not a computer monitor, and it fixes the ergonomics.
If there was no chin on these things, putting this on a desk would either cause the monitor to be too low, like a laptop, or it would be a monitor-on-a-stick, since the base would have to be 6-8" tall to raise to monitor to a comfy height.
I'll never buy one, but it seems like a great, inexpensive computer to keep on the kitchen counter to look up recipes and play some music while you cook...
$600? build your own atom mini box combine with a $100 monitor.
Atom box + monitor = $200-250.
Agree. They shall add in the touch screen at least.
Lenovo A600 for $699 instead, thanks.
Lenovo said US prices will start at $999 (
viewsonic has always been junk.
their professional line CRTs were all junk that breaks down in less than 2 years. Their LCD were all maximized for profit margin and low performance and all use cheapest TN panels they can cramp in. I have no doubt this computer is build like crap as well.
