edge in terms of power (relatively speaking, and only just) when viewed
against many a competitors low cost AIO, which in the main serve as
repackaged netbooks, then you may be interested in HP's newly unveiled
AIO PC, namely the HP Pavilion MS200.
Dispensing with the all too usual Atom CPU for a 1.5GHz AMD Athlon X2
3250e CPU paired with an ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card with 256MB of
onboard memory, the HP MS200 AIO PC, whilst hardly a powerhouse in
itself, certainly comes at us from a somewhat differing perspective than
the vast majority of low cost AIO's currently out there – which is
to be welcomed.
Other notable features concerning the HP MS200 AIO PC, aside from the
18.5 16:9 aspect ratio (non-touchscreen we should add) display, include
2GB RAM (not the paltry 1GB offered by many an AIO) as well as a 7200rpm
320GB hard drive, a SuperMulti DVD drive, integrated webcam and a
6-in-one card reader whilst, in terms of connectivity, you can factor in
WiFi (802.11b/g), Ethernet and no less than 6 USB ports.
Agreed, the HP MS200 AIO PC, which will run with Windows 7, barely has
the edge over netbook flavoured AIOs but its refreshing to see HP at
least offering something a little different from the same old Atom based
AIOs that are currently flooding the market and in being set to retail
at just shy of $600 when it commences shipping in October the price
point is undoubtedly competitive too.
