MSI plans to give HP a run in the touchscreen desktop market, as evidenced by a trio of Wind Top all-in-one PCs the company had on display during CeBIT. The models included the 19-inch AE1900, 20-inch AE2010, and 22-inch AE2200.
Specs remain pretty sparse, but it looks as though the AE2010 will come with an AMD 1.5GHz processor nestled into an AMD 780G chipset, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, a DVD burner, and a 1600 x 900 touchscreen display. Engadget said it also spied an Intel logo on the AE1900 with Windows XP on its screen, which suggests at least one of the nettops will be powered by Intel's Atom processor.
No other details, including price points or projected release date, are yet known, but you can bet we'll let you know as soon as we find out more.

Am I the only person who thinks that touchscreen computing in your home is a bad idea?
I mean, the actual, practical, day-to-day using of a touchscreen just doesn't seem all that appealing. I'd rather move my wrist two inches to get a cursor across a screen than move my arm two feet to accomplish the same thing. And are there any applications that really geniunely benefit from it? It seems touchscreens are always shown off via demos of applications that slide photos around. I do very little photo sliding in my day-to-day computing, and I can't think of anything I do that would greatly benefit from smearing my greasy fingers on the screen while I'm doing it.
A touchscreen on a cell phone sounds like an awesome idea. A touchscreen on a desktop computer seems like a solution looking for a problem.

And if it has a $600dollar price tag then I want one. This should be sold as an appliance.
