MSI Wind Top AE2420 3D all-in-one review

Posted: 02 Jan 2011 08:30 AM PST

When MSI builds an "all-in-one" PC, it doesn't mess around -- the MSI Wind Top AE2420 3D has everything but the kitchen sink ensconced in a plastic frame. Where most consolidated computers aim for the lowest common denominator with low-power components, MSI's dropped a high-end multimedia bomb here -- a 23.6-inch, 120Hz, 1080p, LED-backlit touchscreen LCD panel paired with a desktop-grade 2.53GHz Core i7-860S processor, Mobility Radeon HD 5730 graphics, a Blu-ray drive, 4GB of RAM, and a terabyte of storage. Active shutter glasses spit out 3D images to your eyes while THX speakers (and a built-in subwoofer) pump out jams, and 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth and USB 3.0 sockets round out a connectivity laundry list. It's got a spec sheet to die for and an equally lethal $1,800 price -- but is the AE2420 3D more than a bucket of primo parts? Is it worth your cash?
MSI Wind Top AE2420 3D unboxing and hands-on

Hardware and Construction

If you've seen one MSI Wind Top, you've pretty much seen them all -- it's a stout plastic monolith with a glossy black bezel, a translucent plastic border and an adjustable kickstand that the entire machine stably sits on. If you're used to aluminum for your money, MSI's rig won't look quite as sleek, but the plastics do pick up ambient light quite nicely, and give off a pleasant sheen (they're even better at picking up fingerprints, so do watch your digits). From bottom to top, there's a pair of decent in-built speakers behind that swirly grille, a set of capacitive touch buttons immediately above, a giant screen, and a webcam and microphone up top. The main connectivity panel's on the back, and it's a minor pain to reach around the unit to plug in headphones and the occasional eSATA drive, but the left side does house the items you'll probably need most often: a tray-loading Blu-ray drive, an SD card slot, and a pair of powder-blue USB 3.0 sockets.

The highlight of the machine is that sizable screen, of course, and we're pleased to say it's a treat for both eyes and fingers, with a solid sheet of glass separating your haphazard attempts to touch Windows 7 from the precious LCD display beneath. Some will no doubt take issue with MSI's promise of a multitouch screen, as the capacitive digitizer here only detects two points of contact and is fairly easy to confuse, but single-finger gestures were very responsive, and with two digits we were able to scroll through webpages and pinch-to-zoom without much difficulty. More importantly, the 1080p panel itself is surprisingly good for a built-in display, with vivid colors, wide viewing angles and a crisp picture that justifies its multimedia leanings. At 24 inches, it's not going to replace your HDTV, but it's a fantastic bedroom Blu-ray machine with THX speakers that pump out surprisingly decent virtual surround sound. It's also unfortunately as glossy as a new automobile, which can drastically limit the places it can be comfortably used -- don't angle it towards a light source or place it directly across from an open window unless you need an extra mirror in the room.

You'll find practically every port you'll need on the back panel, including a pair of 3.5mm jacks for audio, optical S/PDIF out, HDMI, VGA, eSATA, Gigabit Ethernet and four USB 2.0 ports -- there's also a Kensington lock slot -- but we were slightly disappointed to find no easy access bays in the plastic shell to swap out any of the components. Mind you, the AE2420 has some pretty decent specs, but as you'll see shortly, we would have appreciated a way to get at the hard drive. While we were perusing the back, we also were happy to note the computer has plenty of airflow, with vents on the bottom, side and back, and a sizable one on top for heat to escape directly upwards. As you'd expect from an all-in-one, the AE2420's a breeze to set up -- just find a spot, plug in the power, and boot, and the integrated 802.11 b/g/n wireless is much appreciated there, as we didn't need to plug in an ethernet cord either.

Compared to the mostly impressive all-in-one itself, the bundled wireless peripherals look and feel cheap as dirt, and you'll probably want to replace them straight away -- the infrared mouse, while passable, is made of brittle plastic, and the MSI StarType ES500W keyboard flexes and creaks enough to make a senior citizen jealous and edgy respectively. To add insult to injury, these both connect via a laggy, chunky USB dongle that didn't always recognize the peripherals after a reboot. There's also your standard Windows Media Center infrared remote, which works well enough, but only when pointed directly at that MSI logo on the front. At least the company provides free batteries for all your peripheral troubles.

Performance

As we alluded to earlier, MSI pieced together quite a set of components here, and they all work fairly well. The AE2420's not a purpose-built video editing workhorse, media center or gaming rig, but it does all of these things just fine -- though we did notice that it's held back a tad by its 5400RPM hard drive. That's not only evidenced in the Windows Experience Index chart above, but in every single load, from the short delay it took to launch a variety of applications to the often 60+ second boot times we noticed. We'd love to swap it out for a 7200RPM model, or perhaps a sizable solid state drive, but it looks like we'd have to void our warranty to try.

Still, with a 2.53GHz Core i7-860S processor, Radeon HD 5730M graphics and 4GB of RAM, we rarely saw so much as a stutter in daily use, and the machine seems to be a capable multitasker too -- we were able to open a dozen tabs, stream Pandora, watch two 1080p Tron: Legacy trailers on YouTube, and play a windowed 720p session of Left 4 Dead 2 on nigh-maximum settings all at the same time (it was only after adding a third full-res Tron trailer that we brought the machine to its knees). If you're looking for some theoretical benchmarks, though, we've got those too: the AE2420 managed a score of 7318 in PCMark Vantage, 7714 3DMarks in 3DMark06, and E2112 / P1242 / X347 in the brand-new 3DMark11.

Stereoscopic 3D


If you're looking for a machine that magically converts everything it touches into proper three-dee cinema -- like what MSI's marketing materials proudly proclaim -- stop right there. There's no such thing, and regardless, this machine won't meet that lofty expectation. If, however, you've got some games that use 3D engines to begin with, some stray images from a 3D camera, or a desire to watch the stars of your 2D films turn into animated cardboard stand-ups, the AE2420 3D can indeed do all that, with a mildly confusing batch of bundled software and the pictured pair of included shutter glasses. The latter are thick, mediocre pairs of 120Hz specs that you can recharge with a standard mini-USB cable, and provided you're looking at the screen's embedded IR emitter straight-on, they do the job, but also let out an annoying buzz the whole time they're on. Like all shutter glasses, they also dim the screen, but here there's no easy way to adjust the brightness to compensate, as the LCD panel's physical controls are firmly locked when it's in 120Hz mode.

With these specs firmly affixed to your noggin, a program named MSI EasyViewer lets you view 3D photographs, but seemingly only in slideshow mode, and it sometimes gets the left image confused with the right so as to make the 3D effect turn inside out. Then there's Roxio CinePlayer BD, an app that pulls double-duty playing Blu-rays and "converting" 2D footage to what can technically be called 3D, but only when you tick the right boxes in the options menu, and the novelty soon wears off (technically, CinePlayer can handle Blu-Ray 3D discs as well, but we didn't have the chance to test one).

For games, there's the trusted and true iZ3D software, which allows you to adjust the stereoscopic separation and convergence of 3D games exactly how you'd like, and with low expectations and a little perseverance, this one actually works quite well. Just like with NVIDIA's 3D Vision, there's a definite dip in framerate when you turn it on, but the added depth can make for a more immersive experience, particularly in games like Left 4 Dead 2 and Batman: Arkham Asylum where close-quarters combat has a significant role -- Batman's flowing cape and hordes of exploding zombies made for a particularly good show. Sadly, most game engines still don't render distant objects in 3D particularly well.

Software and Touch


As we've discussed time and again, Windows 7 just doesn't work with a touchscreen at the helm. Aside from the occasional browser session or rare finger-friendly app, it's a gimmick, and with the AE2420 only registering two points of touchscreen contact and sporting a thick bezel, it's a rather sizable one here as well. We tried typing a few paragraphs of this review directly on the virtual keyboard -- including this very line -- by tilting the whole machine back on its kickstand, but it was a hefty, mistake-filled chore, and more often than not we ended up brushing the display's capacitive volume buttons in each attempt. Still, that hasn't kept MSI from bundling a variety of lightweight software and a kid-friendly launcher hub, and though we hate bloatware with a passion there seems to be little harm in MSI WindTouch. It's a self-contained app that houses links to common applications, cutesy CyberLink paint, webcam and memo apps, the free Windows 7 Touch Pack and a game or two, and while there's nothing to justify your purchase here, it feels like a nice place to let a child play, and it can also be easily removed. We were actually surprised to find how light the bloatware load was here -- aside from the above apps, Adobe Reader, Windows Live, a trial of Norton Internet Security and the Bing Bar, it's practically a stock Windows 7 install.

Wrap-up

When we reviewed MSI's AE2220 -- this machine's smaller brother -- we were thoroughly impressed with the value for money. We can't quite say the same here. On paper, the AE2420 is a no-compromise, mildly future-proof PC, but in reality the headline features (3D, touch) are of little practical use. For $1,800, you could build or buy a substantially more powerful gaming PC -- even one with a 3D monitor, if you know where to look -- and if gaming and Blu-ray are not priorities, you're a stone's throw away from the beauty and brawn of a 27-inch iMac. Still, we have to hand it to MSI for fitting a substantial amount of everything we want into a single shell. There's nothing else quite like it on the market today, and that's saying something.

Tesla assures $57k Model S will be profitable, sexy looking too

Tesla assures $57k Model S is profitable, sexy looking too
The path to availability for cars of the future is one wrought with roadblocks, potholes, and indeed IEDs -- increasingly expensive developments. This was most recently seen with Fisker's Karma getting a price boost up to $95,900, a hefty jump over initial $80,000 estimates, but Tesla is taking this chance to give new reassurances that its Model S sedan's price of $57,000 is comfortable. That's largely thanks to smaller Li-Ion batteries, which are similar to those used in laptops and, according to Musk, will be swappable as a single unit. This type of batteries are much less expensive to produce than the large, monolithic packs used in the Nissan Leaf or Chevy Volt, about $200 per kWH vs. $750 for Nissan's. That's cheap enough for Tesla to assure that it can still make a profit on the Model S, despite its cost being set at roughly half that of the Roadster. Will that still be the case when it hits production in 2012? We can't wait to find out.

Update: Defendor commented with a link to this CNET article in which Elon Musk indicates the battery pack will be swappable too. The post was updated to mention this.

Japanese researchers create palladium-like alloy using nanotechnology, 'present-day alchemy'

Posted: 02 Jan 2011 03:56 AM PST

As you're no doubt aware, some of the precious metals used in consumer electronics -- like palladium -- can be both pricey and hard to come by, which has prompted some to harvest the materials from old electronics and reuse them, while others have been busily working on more readily available alternatives. Among that latter group are a team of researchers from Japan's Kyoto University, who have just announced that they've managed to create a palladium-like alloy using what's being described as "present-day alchemy." More specifically, they used nanotechnology to combine (and "nebulise") rhodium and silver, which don't ordinarily mix, into the new composite, which they say could eventually replace the real thing in a whole range of electronics and other products. Unfortunately, it's not clear when that might happen, but the researchers aren't just stopping at palladium -- they're apparently already looking at using a similar process to create other alloys.

CHAdeMO EV quick-chargers to get wider tests across US, 80% capacity in 30 mins or less

CHAdeMO EV quick-chargers to get wider tests across US, 80% capacity in 30 minutes or less
The idea of waiting around for hours for your EV to recharge is soon to become a thing of the past -- or rather it already is in Japan, where the CHAdeMO-style chargers are enabling cars like the Nissan Leaf to get to 80 percent battery capacity in just 30 minutes. Now they're properly starting their US invasion. The first assault came in Portland a few months back, with 310 more stations lining up for deployment in Arizona, California, Texas, Tennessee, Oregon, and elsewhere in Washington according to Yomiuri. The move will cost about $230 million total, though there's no word on whether they'll be publically available like the one in Portland is. CHAdeMO, which is a play on the Japanese "O cha demo ikaga desuka" ("let's have tea while charging"), works by handling the AC to DC conversion externally and providing power at up to 500VDC and 125 Amps, much higher than on-board AC/DC converters can handle. This drives down recharging time massively -- even if you don't like tea.

Cambridge professor creates creepy, emotion-sensing GPS system

Posted: 01 Jan 2011 11:34 PM PST

Meet Charles: the robotic GPS system that can tell when you've got road rage. Yes, he's a tad scary looking, but according to the Cambridge professor who created him, you won't feel like throwing him out the window when you're frustrated. The disembodied satnav robot (head and torso only), which sits in the passengers seat, is designed to respond to a driver's emotional cues, like facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice. Charles takes this information and responds accordingly, providing sympathetic phrases when he senses frustration. Researchers say the robot is about 70 percent accurate at detecting emotion, or about as accurate as any human. We say a backseat driver that can't hit back is 100 percent awesome.

Vizio teases entry into the tablet fray with pizazz via Rose Bowl spot (video)

Posted: 01 Jan 2011 09:17 PM PST

Teasing tablets ahead of the CES deluge is nothing new for manufacturers now, but we'll at least give Vizio a few style points for its expensive approach to the tactic. That's because what looks like a Vizio-branded tablet made a not-so-secret appearance during the Rose Bowl. Specifically, the device appeared about 15 seconds into the chairman's message in the hands of Vizio chief sales officer Randy Waynick. Just in case a mere sighting was too subtle, Waynick was also kind enough to mention Vizio's dedication to "entertainment freedom for all" and the ability to view content on "any of their great new products, from anywhere" -- wink wink, nudge nudge. Details on the gadget are obviously unknown, but we're confident the actual specs (if any) will emerge next week. We're also pretty positive it's not Vizio's 7-inch razor portable TV. If you weren't watching the game, check out a video of the device's brief cameo on national television after the break.

Update: We originally speculated that this tablet was probably running Android based on the buttons. Some eagle-eyed readers have pointed out though that only three buttons are visible at the bottom of the Vizio screen -- which means WP 7 could also be a possibility. It's worth noting too that no traditional Android buttons were visible on the prototype Motorola Honeycomb Tablet. The bottom line is we can't make a ruling on the OS based solely on the buttons.

Fractal Design's Define Mini custom PC case ditches LEDs for style

Posted: 01 Jan 2011 08:57 PM PST

As anyone who's shopped around for a custom PC case knows, the options are virtually endless -- but it's a bit of a different story if you're looking to keep things as sleek and simple as possible. Thankfully, the folks at Fractal Design have now provided one more option for the more modestly-inclined folks out there in the form of their new Define Mini case, which is a Micro ATX version of their larger Define R2 and R3 cases. As you can see above, it's suitably monolith-like, and it doesn't come with too many compromises in terms of specs -- in fact, you'll actually get a generous six HDD trays among all the usual accommodations. No word on a price just yet, but we're guessing it won't demand too much of a premium if the company's other Define cases are any indication.

HTC Thunderbolt and Samsung i520 bring LTE gravitas to Verizon's stock-keeping systems

Posted: 01 Jan 2011 06:22 PM PST

So if the HTC Incredible was coded as the ADR6300 in Verizon's internal systems, just what do you think an ADR6400 could signify? A pair of screenshots from a VZW employee living out a Julian Assange daydream have seemingly confirmed the common expectation that Verizon will very soon deliver its Incredible successor -- better known to you and us as the LTE-equipped HTC Thunderbolt. Aiding and abetting the HTC handset in getting the red team's LTE network started will be Samsung's SCH-i520, an Android 2.2 device equipped with that most critical of accessories, a front-facing camera. Both are now standing on the precipice of showing up for sale, those zeroes in the stock column shouldn't remain so round for much longer.

Verizon cutting Galaxy Tab price to $500, will refund any purchases from last two weeks

Posted: 01 Jan 2011 05:29 PM PST

New year means a new price for the Verizon-branded Galaxy Tab. Droid-Life has received word from a couple of VZW store employees that the big red network intends to chop a nice $100 chunk off its price for the 7-inch Android tablet. Though this move hasn't yet been made official, the Galaxy Tab should soon be available to buy for $500, without any contractual obligations and plus a $60 movie rental voucher that can be redeemed in Samsung's Media Hub or the preloaded Blockbuster Mobile app. You shouldn't freak out if you've just bought a Tab either, as Verizon's also said to be offering a benevolent refund for the difference in price to buyers of the Samsung slate who happen to have receipts dating from the last 14 days.

Switched On: The 2010 Switchies

Posted: 01 Jan 2011 03:45 PM PST

Each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On, a column about consumer technology.
It's that special time of year between the post-holiday sales and the pre-CES hype that presents an opportunity to consider some of the most innovative devices of the year. Switched On is proud to present the Saluting Wares Improving Technology's Contribution to Humanity awards, also known as The Switchies. This year marks the fifth annual Switchies, which are decided based on a rigorous examination of the opinion of me, and do not reflect the opinion of Engadget or its editors. For that latter honor, nominees will need to win an Engadget Award. Let's roll out the red carpet then.

The "You Say 'Big iPod Touch' Like It's a Bad Thing" and Product of the Year Award goes to the Apple iPad. In what can only be explained as the result of determination to return to the fold after being shut out of last year's Switchies, Apple snubbed both the netbook and tablet PC by supersizing the basic platform that had worked so well for its handheld devices. In the process, it brought along changes to the operating system to support richer app interaction. A textbook case of platform expansion, the iPad is now in the reticle of a cross-section of PC, CE and handset makers looking to grab a piece of a device class that has put its own spin on video, games, reading and Web browsing.

The "Sharp Screens, Blurring Categories" Award for Best New E-Reader goes to the Barnes & Noble Nook Color. While the Amazon Kindle has staked out the low ground with a focused book-reading experience, this "reader's tablet" as Barnes & Noble calls it, represents the future of the category where text will meld with color photos and videos. Now Barnes & Noble needs to improve the responsiveness of its device as it broadens platform support.

The "Easy Call To Make" Award for Best New Smartphone goes to the Sprint Epic 4G. Mixing a big, beautiful display with a slide-out keyboard and WiMAX data speeds made this the most outstanding of the Galaxy S smartphones. Runners-up on other carriers include the Droid X, iPhone 4 and the T-Mobile G2.

The "Can't Touch This" Award for Best New Smartphone Operating System goes to iOS 4.2. It wasn't so much that iOS 4 iPhone operating system brought features that hadn't been seen in other operating systems. It's that its biggest story -- multitasking -- was implemented in a way that delivered nearly everything users wanted while preserving some of the best battery life in the industry. Most Improved Smartphone OS Awards go to webOS 2.0 and Windows Phone 7.

The "Worthy of Note" Award for Best New Notebook PC goes to the Acer TimelineX series for providing outstanding battery life in a stylish, thin form factor. Runners-up include the MacBook Air and the HP Envy line, including the powerhouse 3D-capable Envy 17.

The "Leave the Buttons on Shirts" Award for Best New Human Computer Interaction goes to Microsoft Kinect for Xbox 360. Sony's PlayStation Move may provide more flexibility for a broader array of game playing, but the Kinect approach captured imaginations and has potential in a broad array of devices moving forward as hackers have already started proving. The "Guess We Just Click" Award for Best New PC Input Device goes to Microsoft's touch strip-enabled Arc Mouse, with Apple's spacious Mighty Trackpad as a runner-up.

The "Set-Top Box That Rocks" Award for Best New TV Set Add-on Box goes to the WDTV Live Hub, a small, versatile powerhouse that packs half a terabyte of storage in an approachable user interface that reveals a wide variety of features. Honorable mentions go to the small and affordable Roku XD/S and the low-profile Monsoon Multimedia Vulkano, the best combination of time-shifting and place-shifting yet.

The "Please Be EVIL" Award for Best New Hybrid Imaging Product goes to the Sony NEX line, which combine a full APS-C sensor in a slim back and tiltable LCD with HD video capture capabilities, whereas the "Poetry in Motion" Award for Best Compact Camcorder goes to the Kodak PlaySport for making 1080p video a pool pursuit.

The "Fourth Screen" Award for Best New Home Internet Appliance Award goes to the Kodak Pulse picture frame, which makes sharing photos over the Internet easy and affordable. The runner-up includes the recently price-slashed, Chumby-powered Sony Dash..

The "What's a Lens Between Friends" Award for Best New Bluetooth headset goes to the Looxcie. It may be little more than a novelty today, but as quality improves, Looxcie could evolve into a valuable tool for recording presentations and lectures. Runners-up go to the app-enhanced SoundID 510 and speech-recognizing BlueAnt Q2.

The "More Than an Inkling" Award for Best New Printer goes to the HP Envy printer. With support for HP's ePrint and Apple's AirPrint wireless printing architectures, it not only symbolizes the future of driverless, remotely accessible printing, but also is one of the most stylish living room-friendly printers to hit the market since the Samsung ML-1630. Not only that, but the extending and receding output tray support definitely creates a rare wow factor in printers.

And, finally, the "2 Cool 2 Be 4 Sale" Award for Best New Vaporware never to ship goes to the Courier. The unique hardware design, slick user interface, and novel utility of this product made it something that could have high appeal, but perhaps not to a broad enough user base to interest Microsoft. Clearly, though, other companies also believe that two screens are better than one, and 2011 will see progress on devices such as the Kno tablet and Acer Iconia. The runner-up was the Allerta InPulse BlackBerry companion watch.

NES emulator lands on Windows Phone 7, barred from the Marketplace

Posted: 01 Jan 2011 01:58 PM PST

It's an important time in any young OS's life: NES emulation. Windows Phone 7 has just passed this important puberic milestone, thanks to the hard work of Matt Bettcher. Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn't seem to recognize the significance, and is keeping the emulator out of the Marketplace (as per its no-funny-business terms of service). Matt's trying to drum up some community support to change Microsoft's mind on the matter, and in the meantime he's planning to open source his project. There's video after the break of the emulator running inside the WP7 emulator. It does the heart good!

[Thanks, Sheeds]

Windows and Mac OS X make it onto the Cr-48, look great in matte black

Posted: 01 Jan 2011 12:05 PM PST

Google built the Cr-48 with hacking in mind, so it's no surprise that we're seeing other operating systems crop up. Still, it's fun to watch, and enterprising hackers have got most of the usual suspects up and running: first Ubuntu, and now Mac OS X and Windows. It sounds like a lot of work, and we pledged that 2011 was going to be the year we sat on our asses and didn't do anything hard, but you're welcome to give it a shot! Just hit up those source links below for instructions, and follow after the break for video of OS X in action.

[Thanks Damian W.]
