Anyone contemplating this machine will obviously have an interest in the touch screen and it would be remiss of us not to cover it. On this page we present several videos of the screen in action, from the interface and scaling implementation to gaming. Games such as Bejewelled 2 Deluxe, Plants V Zombies are all very enjoyable with the screen, but there are limitations, which we show when trying more action oriented titles such as Ricochet Xtreme (painful!), a reboot on the classic' breakout' genre.
Gamers who mainly play first person shooters will obviously not glean as much from a touch screen, but for casual gaming in a family oriented environment it makes a lot of sense.
I wish some of these would use phenom 6 core cpus 🙁
Those videos are really helpful. the sound is brilliant, even via a camera ! Shame they have yet to move to core i3. that would make it a much better purchase. still, i quite like it.
I really like this, id much prefer it to an imac. urghh. I dont need much processing power, and I have a E5400 in another machine. more than enough for me. I might talk the missus into one of these in the new year, if it hits the sales 🙂
I think it is a little expensive, even factoring in the additional cost for the bluray drive. If it was core i3 then makes more sense. unusual for MSI to be behind Dell on one of these systems.
The reviews here are really detailed, found it recently on google after reading a trusted reviews article. Exceptional site. This product is pretty good, but I agree, its dated in dec 2010.
too expensive. I dont mind paying extra for the good screen, speakers and bluray player, but I dont think its offering enough. That said, i wouldnt buy that dell machine either.
You need to look at this from the perspective of a family or parents, who want a nice, slimline all in one machine for a living room or study. something everyone can sit around and enjoy together. its not really geared for the hard core enthusiast gamer. Its a common problem when people comment on these systems.
This looks great for kids. I love the touchscreen idea. my mother also hates computers but like the Ipad. this would work for her perfectly.
