    I have to say, this is a — excuse me — a damn fine looking all-in-one PC. Why, if it weren’t for the somewhat out-of-place strip of leather, I might just nab one of these Wind Top AE2010 things right now. Actually, I have no use for all-in-ones, but for the budget-and-design-conscious PC user, this thing looks like the holy grail. Even the specs are nice.

    easy

    The screen is 20″ at 1600×900, You’ve got an Athlon X2 dual-core 1.5GHz processor (better than it sounds, and way better than the Atoms out there), integrated Radeon 3200 graphics with discrete memory, 4GB of RAM, a 320GB 7200RPM HDD, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Integrated webcam, mic, and SRS speakers, a card reader, six USB ports… it’s really quite fully featured, and starting at $650, it’s pretty light on the wallet, too. Did I forget to mention the whole thing runs on a 90W power supply?

    And wait, did I also forget to mention that you can get the thing with a touchscreen? Man, if I were a kid trying to decide between this thing and an iMac, I’d be having a hell of a tough time. It comes with Vista, but you can fix that pretty easily.
