MSI Prices Its 27-inch All-In-One Gaming PC
MSI has revealed more information on the pricing of its 27" All-in-One Gaming PC.
Earlier we showed you the AG2712, MSI's new gaming All-In-One PC. We've now been provided with more information on the computer, including its pricing and available configurations.
We already knew that all versions of the AG212 will feature the Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 MX Graphics card, a media card reader, HDMI and VGA outputs, Gigabit LAN, USB 3.0 ports and a variety of Ivy Bridge i5 and i7 CPUs for users to choose from. The system will also feature a HDMI input which will allow it to serve as a dedicated monitor and so should allow it to remain useful even when the hardware inside becomes obsolete.
The 27" LCD display will have a native resolution of just 1920 by 1080, rather than the 2560x1440 found on other popular displays of this size and can be equipped with a touch screen for a currently unknown price. The units will also sport an optical drive, although it is not known as to whether it is Blu-ray capable.
As is common practice with All-in-One computers, the hardware inside is based on a mobile platform and can be expected to be refreshed once Haswell is released and the USB 3.0 problems are resolved.
MSI's All-in-One Gaming AG2712 system will come out end of March in Europe, with a hefty starting price tag of €1,799. By today's exchange rates that is about $2350, although US pricing will probably be lower since the EU price includes VAT.
For those wanting a more affordable computer, MSI will also be releasing a cheaper 22" version, the AG2212, which starts of with a Core i3 CPU and features discrete graphics as an optional extra.

And can't play most games. No thank you.
At the right price this machine would be very interesting, but as many users pointed out, it's just a laptop without kb/mouse and battery.
Besides, you can get barebones in this form factor (AIW) from other companies (like Gigabyte), and they use a micro-ITX mainboard, allowing for easy upgrade using cheaper an widely available desktop parts.

OSX has WINE-like programs. I bet that we could get most modern Windows games to run on it just fine even if we didn't want to simply install Windows on it for dual-boot or complete replacement.
Dude, you really don't know what you're talking about. You would have been better off keeping your yap shut rather than opening it and letting us know what a fool you are.
Ok, that was harsh; withdrawn.
Are you an Apple-paid commentator for forums?
Definitely not. Been using Microsoft products since DOS. Regardless of what anyone thinks of Apple and their products and practices, you still cannot deny that at the moment, the iMacs are among the best offerings the All-In-One market has. I have researched other manufacturers and their products, and they all come in with higher price points with comparable hardware and specifications. Feel free to prove me wrong.
Even if it was a grand... I'd not buy ANY 27" all in one with only a 1080p screen, 1440p is barely enough res for 27".
