Tangent Multi-touch AIO PC Packs Nvidia Ion
For consumers looking for a high-end all-in-one PC, Tangent just might have the rig for you.
Tangent has quietly launched a tasty all-in-one PC that features a 20.1-inch, resistive dual-touch screen, Nvidia Ion graphics, and a dual-core Intel Pentium processor. Granted all-in-one PCs like Tangent's VITA 2000 aren't exactly tailored for hardcore enthusiasts looking to expand with meatier components, but this compact rig-in-a-screen may be well suited as a secondary PC for work, finances, multimedia, or to play World of Warcraft in the closet.
With a clear base and frame surrounding the AIO's screen, the VITA 2000 looks rather slick. Powered by Windows 7, and sporting a native resolution of 1600 x 900, users will find six USB ports, 1 eSATA port, VGA, RJ45, HDMI, and SPDIF ports on the back of the machine.
The VITA 2000 also boasts a 4-in-1 card reader, a 1.3MP webcam with microphone, two integrated 3W HiFi speakers, a Slim DVD super multi drive, and integrated wireless connectivity (Gbit LAN). There's even an expansion slot for a 1x mini PCIe card.
Depending on your wallet, Tangent is offering some pre-purchase customization. Consumers can choose between the Intel Pentium T4300 and T4500 CPUs, up to 4 GB of DDR2 memory, and up to 2 TB of storage (3.5-inch SATA2). Tangent added that the base is detachable, allowing consumers to mount the VITA 2000 with a VESA adapter.
Pricing for the VITA 2000 starts at $1,695, however this is one of those deals where consumers will need to request a quote. Still, the AIO doesn't look too shabby... let's hope they're not a pain to actually purchase.

"High end" and "Nvidia Ion" should not be used in the same sentence.
Well considering most people buying this would be used to intel...
Too expensive.
pentium dual core is now classified as high-end, and used for a gaming system...
hate to see the entry level
I definitely would not consider the all-in-one a high end item.
Too expensive.
Knock about $900 off the price and then we'll start talking.
It's just a bigger than a usual tablet PC with a stand.
How about a AIO with a 5870m, i7 730QM, 4GB RAM, 2TB 3.5" HDD.
You know, like a really high end laptop, just not as portable, but with specs that the price can be justified.
Considering you can buy an over-priced Apple iMac that has better specs (with the exception of a multi-touch screen) for way less, I can't see the touchscreen and VESA mounting being worth the $400+ difference.
