Either way, the hardware looks interesting, but that User Interface looks god awful. Give it a day or three for the novelty to wear off and the average user is going see how gimmicky touchscreen interfaces are and go back to using a mouse and keyboard.]]>Dec 28th 2009 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/msi-wind-top-ae2220-unboxing-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/msi-wind-top-ae2220-unboxing-and-impressions/Dec 28th 2009 9:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/msi-wind-top-ae2220-unboxing-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/msi-wind-top-ae2220-unboxing-and-impressions/Dec 28th 2009 9:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/msi-wind-top-ae2220-unboxing-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/msi-wind-top-ae2220-unboxing-and-impressions/Dec 28th 2009 2:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/msi-wind-top-ae2220-unboxing-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/msi-wind-top-ae2220-unboxing-and-impressions/Dec 28th 2009 9:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/msi-wind-top-ae2220-unboxing-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/msi-wind-top-ae2220-unboxing-and-impressions/if it can do Multitouch yep. ]]>Dec 28th 2009 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/msi-wind-top-ae2220-unboxing-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/msi-wind-top-ae2220-unboxing-and-impressions/Dec 28th 2009 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/msi-wind-top-ae2220-unboxing-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/msi-wind-top-ae2220-unboxing-and-impressions/

Question for Darren... How loud was the computer?
iMacs are nice for being some of the quietest computers. I don't know if that is the case for most all-in-ones. ]]>Dec 28th 2009 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/msi-wind-top-ae2220-unboxing-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/msi-wind-top-ae2220-unboxing-and-impressions/
It's remarkably quiet.

What about memory? Several online retailers have the -27 at 3GB and the -26 at 4GB. The MSI website states they are both 4GB. Any insight there?

Do you know for certain if the ae2220-25sus will output video via the vga port that is on the machine? I keep hearing mixed reviews on if this is an input only or really will do output. I really want one of these machines but need it to do video output to a larger screen.

Ordered this earlier today, can NOT wait to get it. As far as the Touchscreen wearing off, its true, you do tend to use it less than the keyboard, but its nice sometimes when u r in a hurry. Whats really weird is after using it for a while, you start trying to touch other screens, and it takes a couple of times to remind yourself not EVERY screen in your house is Touch sensitive!

For the poster who was THINKING of this vs. the Touchsmart she already has, i would think this one because its got the stunning high resolution of 1920x1080 and also that Blue Ray player. Plus, I don't remember the lower end HP coming with its own 256MB of graphics.

Weird how maximum is 4GB and its only a 32 bit system, but on HotHardware the screen that shows the WEI shows the whole $GB in use- Strange]]>Feb 15th 2010 6:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/msi-wind-top-ae2220-unboxing-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/msi-wind-top-ae2220-unboxing-and-impressions/Feb 15th 2010 6:48PM
