MSI has broken away from the netbook market long enough to create an all in one desktop PC.  The MSI Wind Top AE2010 AIO looks to be a 19″ 1600×900 TFT touchscreen LCD at first glance, but hidden inside is a full PC.  An AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core 3250e powers it, with 4GB DDRII @ 533MHz on the board its self, no memory upgrades for this machine.  Graphics are handled by the AMD RS780G and SB710, the HD3200 gets 128MB of Side Port DDR3 to help it out.  Benchmark Reviews tried it against Atoms and Ions and even a Dell to see how its performance measured up, which you can see here.

“Desktop computers are making a resurgence, and have exploited the compact nature of newer technology to provide the best of both worlds. Netbooks are the popular item for travelers, but they don’t get the job done for full time workers and students. Notebooks are nice, and meet halfway, but have their own limits too. Behold the nettop. It’s a compact desktop computer with a notebook profile. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the MSI Wind Top AE2010-02SUS All-In-One touch screen desktop computer against an Intel Atom-equipped ASUS Eee PC netbook, Core 2 Duo notebook, and NVIDIA ION desktop system.”
