Are enterprise customers clamoring for all-in-one (AIO) desktops? We're not sure, but system builder Eurocom is confident there's a large enough market to warrant releasing the Uno 3.0, an AIO desktop with a 21.5-inch Full HD 1080p (1920x1080) multi-touch display and integrated 6-cell battery pack just in case the building's wiring goes haywire. For the bean counters, Eurocom's also pitching this as an Eco-Friendly system that can result in reduced energy costs.

Lenovo's first Chromebook is headed for schools.

That was fast! A rumor surfaced earlier this week suggesting Lenovo was planning to launch a Chromebook, jumping into territory that's so far been occupied only by Acer and Samsung.

iBuyPower's new Revolt gaming PC ships in February starting at $499.

Boutique system builder iBuyPower introduced its new Revolt PC at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, which at a glance looks like the lovechild of an Xbox 360 console and small form factor (SFF) gaming PC. That's not too far off from what it really is. Sporting a "radically new overall design," the Revolt is shaped like a console but is all PC on the inside, from its Intel Core processor foundation to its optional factory overclock.

Samsung seems to have its hands in a little bit of everything these days, from televisions and cameras, to smartphones and even home appliances, such as refrigerators. Since this isn't Maximum Washing Machine or Maximum Microwave, so stopped by Samsung's setup to see what PCs it had on display at the Consumer Electronics Show. We were treated to a pair of notebooks, one of which is the new Series 7 Chronos.

Boutique builder Digital Storm just took its Aventum system to another level. At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, out in the desert, Digital Storm unboxed its new Aventum II with a custom designed cooling solution and chassis that features copper piping and room for nearly two dozen fans (22, to be exact).

CyberPower PC Zeus Touch 1000

New Zeus Touch all-in-one systems from CyberPower PC start at $899.

Here's a riddle for you: What is Zeus without his Thunderbolt? If you guessed an "all-in-one (AIO) PC," pat yourself on the back, and then thank a teacher, without which you may not have been able to read the headline. CyberPower PC's Zeus Touch line is the latest in an influx of touch-capable AIO systems built around Windows 8, though unlike some of the others, Zeus is "fully expandable," CyberPower PC says.
