MSI Shows Off All-in-One 'Butterfly' PC
There's a lot of the same stuff at CES. That's why we love coming across sexy concepts; it's a welcome breather from all the 'me-too' products that represent the flavor of the month. This year, MSI's booth had a little breath of fresh air for us.
During our visit to the MSI booth at the Las Vegas Convention Center we spied a small case of concepts among the more current devices MSI had on show. The more interesting of the bunch was a PC MSI has dubbed the Butterfly. Looking past the girly design, this is actually an all-in-one touchscreen PC with a display that slides down into a more comfortable position when you want a more hands on touch experience. The model we saw had a 7-inch tablet that acted as a companion device for the main AIO, and the PC itself had a keyboard tucked into a pocket on the back of the display.
Also on display at the MSI booth was the Angelow AIO -- which also comes with a smaller companion tablet -- and the Kid Pad, a tablet device for small children. The main attraction of the Angelow seemed to be it’s slim form-factor. The Kid Pad weighs 900g, packs a 10-inch display and eight hours of battery. It also has a carry handle up top that rotates to double as a stand.
We managed to get a couple of photos through the plastic casing but we’ve also tracked down some of MSI's own pictures because you can’t really get an accurate idea of the Butterfly’s repositionable display from the pictures we took of the device when it was inside MSI’s protective box.

Ware have I seen this before? Reminds of some terrible cars through out the decades.
Hello Jane! Was the self portrait here intentional or unintentional?
I took it a couple of times to try and get as little of me as possible in there!
I fail to see the point in using a style that was already used and associated with Apple... unless they want people to in order get sales? I just don't get it.
This doesn't.
Its not that hideous....just looks like an old iMac got run over by a road roller.
That should be in matt black...and it would be sexy.
I like to see PC manufactures think outside the box, and this is a good example.
So it is you.. I think your hot, for a blurry chick
