First announced at CeBIT earlier this year, MSI today officially launched its new Wind Top all-in-one AE2010 PC with a 20-inch, 1600 x 900 touchscreen display.
Similar in style to the company's previous AE1900, the new AE2010 beefs up the hardware with an AMD Athlon X2 dual-core 3250e processor, ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics, 4GB of DDR2-533 memory, a 320GB hard drive spinning at 5400RPM, a tray-load DVD burner, 4-in-1 card reader, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, 1.3MP webcam, 6 USB 2.0 ports, and an eSATA port.
According to MSI, noise never ramps up to more than 26 decibels thanks to an "ultra-silent, state-of-the-art cooling system." And on the energy front, MSI claims its all-in-one sips 75 percent less juice than traditional desktop PCs.
Look for the AE2010 to start selling next month starting at $650.

This has decent specs, I like the hard drive space, the ram of course prolly could be swapped out for upgrade.
For 650 bucks, Id say this is something that I would buy as a gift, something for like my mother or relative even a friend. It has built in wifi so it be great to use in a kitchen, on a coffee table (if the set up is right). I could see these devices even being a good tool to use in a college class room.
It wasnt too long ago that in a class room that I was talking to a professor about ways to increase desk space by getting rid of the pcs and using laptops or something of that sort.
These would be just the thing and at 650 dollars per unit.. Thats faiirly decent for home, office and school usages.

I'd like to get one for my bedroom movie watching, but I read a lot of complaints
in the "user reviews" about these type of units.
"they're calling insane hogs???"

you guys posting comments are too much! I fail to see how MaximumPC sold out to AMD or how this is an adverstisement. All MaximumPC has done with the article is post the specs, and quote the manufacturer on operation! I think this machine definitely has a place. I'd use one in my kitchen.

You fail to see the AMD "Resource Center" or the fake news articles?

Sorry Nuxes, I didn't see any of that....until I visited the website from work where all the ads and stuff are let through. I accidentally clicked on one that brought me to a website to purchase a laptop!

Admittedly the hardware specs aren't very "maximum", but I could imagine my parents enjoying something like this.
Did I miss part of the article? Where is all the biased "praising"? This looks like every other product-release announcement.

Strange. This looks AMAZINGLY similar to the Apple Cinema Displays from 2003. Look here: http://www.designedinca.com/images/256/acd23adc.jpg
And also strange that MaxPC would praise this after always slamming Apple for always being about aesthetics.

Is this an article or an advirtisement? Ever since MaxPC sold out to AMD it's been hard to tell the difference
