Pinnacle Africa launches new MSI Wind Top AE2220 21.5-inch multi-touch screen all-in-one desktop computer

Johannesburg, 04 Jan 2010

The Wind Top AE2220 all-in-one PC features a beautiful design combined with a multi-touch interface. Now with Windows 7 and its native support for multi-touch, the all-in-one form factor has achieved unprecedented usability and functionality.

Operating a computer has never been smoother and more precise than with multi-touch. Simple movements of the users' fingers on the screen are all that is required to perform common computing tasks. This more intuitive and humanised approach to controlling a computer closes the distance between user and machine, making the computer easy to use by every member of the family.

With its 21.5-inch screen, the AE2220 directs the focus on multimedia entertainment. The Intel Core 2 Duo/Pentium Dual Core processor paired with the powerful NVIDIA ION graphics core can easily handle resource-hungry applications and sophisticated 3D games.

The components also achieve a perfect balance between reduced power consumption, lower operating temperature and excellent performance. In addition, the AE2220 features a 16:9 aspect-ratio widescreen display, supports full HD (1080p) resolution and incorporates two 5W high-fidelity speakers that use sophisticated processing to recreate high quality, concert-class audio. Mounted on a wall in a bedroom or cosy living area, the AE2220 immediately becomes the multimedia entertainment focal point.

Featuring VGA and HDMI input ports, the AE2220 serves as a computer, television, a widescreen display device for game consoles and other video-capable devices.

Featuring the critically acclaimed Microsoft Windows 7, MSI's multi-touch AE2220 is among the first systems to bundle the new operating system. The user multi-touch user interface has been improved, allowing for complete system control via simple movements of the fingertip across the screen.

Multi-touch and Windows 7 can be used for task as simple as enlarging photographs to writing text in different languages. Seniors and children no longer have to memorise the positions of keys, reducing the intimidating complexity that deters many beginners from learning to use computers effectively. Even professional photographers will appreciate the conveniences of using the AE2220 to edit images, using their hands to zoom and more easily perform common tasks.

Like other Wind Top products, the AE2220's draws on MSI's concept of “efficient design”, which aims to satisfy computing needs while reducing energy consumption. The AE2220 uses the power-efficient Intel Core 2 Duo/ Pentium Dual Core processor and takes advantage of ultra-low amperage, breaking the usual correlation between high performance and high power consumption.

In addition to reducing electricity costs by about 64% compared to conventional systems, the AE2220 is affirmed by LOHAS, an organisation promoting lifestyles of health and sustainability.

Continuing the emphasis of the Wind Top product family on ease of use, the AE2220 incorporates MSI's exclusive graphic interface, completely eliminating the need to learn complex OS conventions. Users can take advantage of “One Touch” convenience to browse the Web, instant message, use VOIP software, play music and much more. This intuitive approach to using a computer promotes more widespread adoption of the computing lifestyle.

It has a recommended retail price of R10 000 incl VAT.
