Last month MSI, a Taiwanese manufacturer better known for its netbooks, announced a new 18.5-inch touchscreen desktop PC. Now the company has disclosed a recession-friendly price tag of $530 for the machine.
All-in-one desktop computers also called 'kitchen PCs' have become important to PC makers who are betting consumers want a sleek, touchscreen desktop in their home for web surfing, leaving notes and checking internet videos.
Four major PC makers including Dell, HP, Asus and MSI now offer all-in-one systems with touchscreens instead of keyboards.
The new MSI Wind desktop is available with an Atom processor, 2GB of RAM, a 160 GB hard drive, 1.3 megapixel webcam and WiFi capability.
At $530, the machine is the cheapest in the market. The Asus Eee Top costs $600, while Dell's all-in-one machine, yet to launch in the U.S., has been priced at $800 for a touchscreen model.
