ViewSonic get into the computer game with the VPC100 All-in-One PC

Looking remarkably similar to an iMac, the VPC100 from Viewsonic is an 'all-in-one' PC with an 46cm (18.5 inch) LCD supporting a native resolution of 1366 x 768. The company's first ever foray into computer territory, Viewsonic claims that the single-unit design of the VPC100 uses a lot less plastic and half the energy of a comparable separates system - so is earth-friendly - but still has everything you need.

Powered by a 1.6GHz Intel® Atom N270 CPU and Intel® GMA950 graphics chip, the computer comes with a 1.3 megapixel camera at the top of the screen and a built-in microphone to make videoconferencing easy. Micorsoft Windows XP Home is pre-installed, and specs include a 160GB SATA hard drive, 1GB RAM, GIGAbit Ethernet and 802.11 b/g wireless, an 8x DVD +/- R/W drive, four USB 2.0 inputs and 4-in-one card reader. All up, then, the VPC100 amounts to about half the base iMac in terms of CPU speed, memory and hard drive space, but at $899 is also a fair bit less than half the price.
