Uttering what every geek longs to hear (albeit admittedly not from an OEM), Dell says it's new multitouch Studio 19 all-in-one PC "Begs to be Touched." Those touches first came from Japan, where the Studio 19 debuted a month and a half ago, and is now being brought to the States for local groping.
Starting at $800, a base configuration includes an Intel Pentium Dual core E5200 processor (2.5GHz, 2MB L2 cache, 800MHz frontside bus), 3GB of DDR2-800 RAM, a 320GB 7200RPM hard drive, integrated Nvidia GeForce 9200 graphics, slot load DVD burner, and Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. Several configuration options are available, including upgrading the proc to a Core 2 Quad Q8200 (2.33GHz, 6MB L2 cache, 1333MHz frontside bus), 4GB of RAM, up to a 750GB hard drive, GeForce 9400 integrated graphics, and slot load Blu-ray player.
All but one of the configurations come with an 18.5-inch touchscreen LCD with a 16:9 aspect ratio and 1366x768 resolution. Only the $700 model doesn't include touchscreen functionality, as well as less RAM (2GB) and Vista Home Basic 32-bit.
