MSI is living proof of that, with its 21.5-inch Wind Top AE2220 bringing Windows 7, multitouch and an eye-pleasing design to the collective masses. Said machine just started shipping to consumers at the tail end of last month, and we've been fortunate enough to spend a few weeks tinkering with one of the most cost effective AIO options on the market right now."</em></p><p><img height="333" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/wpt/auto/1262258106.usr11334.jpg" style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #d2d2bb 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #d2d2bb 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #d2d2bb 1px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: #d2d2bb 1px solid" width="496" /></p><p>MSI have impressed Engadget with their take on the all-in-one PC. To start with they have bypassed the Intel Atom chip and put a Core 2 Duo in to give it some power. Combined with a responsive touch screen and a sleek look, they seem to have built a rather nice device. As Engadget mentioned, there really isn't a killer touchscreen app that takes advantage of these new devices which means you tend to end up using the keyboard and mouse anyway. If you had one of these devices at home, then what app would you use to take advantage of the touchscreen?</p>
