Medion Akoya P2004 gives the UK an understated 24-inch all-in-one for £500

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Medion Akoya P2004 24inch allinone hits the UK for a cheapandcheerful 500" data-src-height="450" data-src-width="619" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/medion-akoya-p2004-1365687351.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> Medion isn't the best-known PC badge outside of Europe, but it does have an occasional eye for sleek design. We'd say the Lenovo-backed company's new Akoya P2004 offers that kind of style UK crowd. The all-in-one fits a 23.6-inch, 1080p display into a minimalist design that's oddly charming for what's ultimately a budget machine. No one would call the P2004 feature-loaded when it's carrying a dual-core 3.2GHz Core i3, 4GB of RAM, a 1TB hard drive and a DVD burner, but the price is right at a frugal <span>£500 (</span>$770). The catch? If you like what's on offer, you're going to have to swing by ASDA, which has the UK exclusive. Still, we wouldn't object too much to picking up a fairly tasteful Windows 8 PC alongside the groceries.</div></div>

Lenovo rolls out extra-compact ThinkCentre Edge 62z all-in-one for $549

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Lenovo ThinkCentre Edge 62z stuffs an all-in-one into a tiny space for $549" data-src-height="450" data-src-width="592" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/lenovo-thinkcentre-edge-62z.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> Some of Lenovo's pro customers can be very fussy: hospitals and schools want multiple computers in a small area, but without skimping on the usual features they'd expect from desktops. If any PC could resolve those contradictory demands, it might be the company's new ThinkCentre Edge 62z. The extra-angular design purportedly fits a 18.5-inch all-in-one into a third of the space of a 20-inch display, all while carrying up to a Core i3 processor and a DVD burner. Whether or not you see the 62z as a feat of engineering, the design has some room to grow with up to 8GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive. The price may be the real clincher for some customers -- Lenovo expects this lower-tier ThinkCentre Edge to cost $549 when it reaches the US in May, which could squeeze it into a few more IT budgets.</div><div class="pr_box open" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <div class="pr_box_button">Hide Press Release</div><div class="pr_text"> <strong>Lenovo Expands AIO Portfolio to Fit Small Budgets and Workspaces</strong><br /> ThinkCentre Edge 62z Delivers Space-Saving Design and Power Efficiency for Education and Healthcare<br /> RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC – March 26, 2013:Lenovo(HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) today announced the latest addition to its all-in-one (AIO) portfolio – the ThinkCentre Edge 62z. With an 18.5-inch LCD screen, the Edge 62z is ideal for workspaces with a requirement for multiple PCs but where space is at a premium, including nursing stations and school computer labs. Coupled with an affordable price, starting at just $549, the Edge 62z offers great value in a compact form factor.<br /> <br /> "Our customers, particularly in the healthcare and education markets, see the benefits of the smaller footprint AIOs in their work environments," said Chris Frey, vice president, North America channel business, Lenovo. "The ThinkCentre Edge 62z delivers on that request with a product designed to maximize space and minimize cost."<br /> <br /> Designed for Confined Workspaces<br /> The 18.5-inch screen of the ThinkCentre Edge 62z provides more than 65 percent space savings when compared to a 20-inch monitor, which allows organizations to place more AIOs in each workspace. It can also be mounted to the wall -- the ultimate space-saver – a strategy often used in nursing stations and patient rooms to allow caregivers to quickly access vital information and enter data into patient charts. School districts often place wall-mounted PCs like the ThinkCentre Edge 62z in classrooms to encourage interactive lessons.<br /> <br /> Efficient Power for Productivity<br /> Equipped with up to 3rd generation Intel® Core i3 processors, the ThinkCentre Edge 62z packs powerful performance in a small form factor. For increased productivity, the AIO also features six USB 2.0 ports and Integrated Intel® HD graphics for stunning visuals.<br /> <br /> The ThinkCentre Edge 62z highlights Lenovo's commitment to environmental energy efficiency with ENERGYSTAR® 5 compliance and an 87 percent power supply unit (PSU) for more efficient energy usage and increased cost savings. The AIO also meets the EuP 2013 energy efficiency requirement by consuming less than 0.5 Watts of electricity when turned off.<br /> <br /> Pricing and Availability<br /> The ThinkCentre Edge 62z all-in-one PC is available beginning in May through Lenovo business partners and www.lenovo.com. Pricing for the ThinkCentre Edge 62z starts at $549.<br /> </div></div></div>

Dell's hybrid XPS 18 is a $900 all-in-one PC and an 18-inch tablet

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="Dell's hybrid XPS 18 is a $900 allinone PC and an 18inch tablet" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/xps18leadimage.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Dell is pulling back the curtain on the XPS 18, its new portable all-in-one. This machine is a natural competitor to the Sony VAIO Tap 20, with a built-in battery rated for five hours of runtime, although it weighs a much lighter 4.85 pounds (versus a whopping 11.4). Still, though the XPS 18 can function as a tablet, it's portable in the sense that it can move from office to living room; it's not going to accompany you on daily subway rides.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <span>With an 18.4-inch, 1080p display, the XPS 18 makes for a pretty enormous slate, and we were only comfortable holding it in our hands for a few minutes, though resting it on our lap worked well. The AIO sports flip-out plastic feet on its backing, and these can prop up the device vertically or at an angle. Of course, you can also use the XPS 18 as a tablet by simply laying it flat on a table or desktop, and this is the ideal mode for playing games and the like on the 10-point touchscreen.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> The all-in-one will come with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse when it debuts in April, and a $50 dock will be an optional accessory. Pricing starts at $900 for a dual-core Pentium ULV and a 320GB hard drive, and the top-of-the-line configuration will offer a Core i7 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. Check out our hands-on photos for a closer look. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc09933.jpg" width="640" /> </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc09936.jpg" width="640" /> </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc09939.jpg" width="640" /> </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc09942.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc09947.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc09951.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc09956.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc09957.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc09959.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc09960.jpg" width="640" /></div></div>

ASUS Transformer AiO launching Q2 for $1,299 and up, marries Windows 8 desktop with monster Android tablet

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="ASUS Transformer AiO launching Q2 for $1,299 and up, marries Windows 8 desktop with monster Android tablet" data-src-height="412" data-src-width="619" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/transformeraio.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">We were beginning to think the ASUS Transformer AiO was just a figment of a summer daydream after hearing nothing of it since our chance look many months ago. As it turns out, we were right about the furtive FCC filing last December, and with all that paperwork in order, we've now been granted a formal introduction. The Transformer AiO (all-in-one) is very true to its name, as like the Autobots, it has two completely different configurations. In desktop mode, you're looking at a Windows 8 machine running on a Core i3 / i5 / i7, with a 2GB NVIDIA GeForce GT730M GPU, between 4 and 8GB of RAM, and up to a 2TB SATA HDD. It also has a DVD-RW optical drive (can you believe it?), a card reader, a bunch of ports and even a TV Tuner should you want one. Being a Windows 8 rig, it's not surprising that the 18.4-inch, 1,920 x 1,080 IPS display has ten-point multitouch, but it gets even more interesting when you free that screen from its desktop restraints.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Popping it from the dock means you're now looking at a monster tablet with its own internal specs: a quad-core Tegra 3, 2 gigs of RAM and 32GB of flash storage. If you're in the mood to continue peering at Redmond's squares, it'll work as a remote terminal for the "PC Station." But, if you've got a sweet tooth, you can switch the slate to Android mode and knock around in 4.1 Jelly Bean. The Transformer AiO (P1801) is expected to be available in North America early second quarter at $1,299 for the basic model, which doesn't sound all that extortionate given the versatility of the desktop-come-tablet. Head to the source link for the full spec sheet, or check out the video below if you'd like a visual tour.</div><div class="post-gallery" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><h3 class="title"><b>ASUS Transformer AiO press shots</b></h3></div><div class="post-gallery" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/aiopress_95x95.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/aiopress1_95x95.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/aiopress2_95x95.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/aiopress3_95x95.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/aiopress4_95x95.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/aiopress5_95x95.jpg" /> <br /><ul class="thumbs" style="text-align: left;">See all photos</ul><ul class="thumbs" style="text-align: left;"> </ul></div></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/oTKuWlx-tIY?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>
