  Sexy, powerful, and affordable.

  by the_eternal_dark on August 20, 2012

  Pros: Core i7 version is tops for the price
  Sexy blend of looks, functionality, and value
  HDMI inputs for connecting consoles/media players
  USB 3.0 and esata
  Sub-woofer is the power supply
  Cordless happiness for clean workspaces
  MS Signature W7

  Cons: Only 2 HDMI inputs
  Only 4 USB 3.0 ports
  Included keyboard is OK, the track pad can be tossed in the trash (get a proper mouse)

  Summary: The Core i7 model is the best value for the money in the all in one computing category. For ~$1350, you're getting a machine that can handle some moderate ...

  Summary: The Core i7 model is the best value for the money in the all in one computing category. For ~$1350, you're getting a machine that can handle some moderate gaming (laptop parts after all), a great office machine, a capable multimedia machine, and a power-sipper when compared to full tower desktops and workstations. The HDD and ram are upgradeable (512GB SSD and 16GB of RAM in mine), and easily done. The 1080p display is beautiful as expected from Vizio, and makes a good monitor for Xbox 360 gamers who don't have much room to work with (dorm room, small office). You also receive and unmolested install of Windows 7 Home Premium right out of the box, no junkware/trialware to get in the way after setup, unlike the offerings from HP and Dell. And unlike an iMac, you're not paying for a name or some pseudo-specs such as resolution or "magic", as the Vizio's 1080p display handles multimedia beautifully and practically. The only issue you may come across is if you are either a multimedia professional (I.e. an actual professional, not a hipster using sepia filters on their "deep" photos) or someone who has to have 1000's of icons on their desktops (looking at you, grandpa). The keyboard feels OK, but not my taste, since it doesn't have a numpad or mechanical keys (using a Das Ultimate), it it may suffice for college students and people prone to desk clutter. The track pad is about as useful and as comfortable as a cactus in a bowl of raw eggs, so toss it and get a good bluetooth or even a decent wired mouse instead, your hands will thank you. It could use a few more USB ports, but it can be remedied by a hub or just not having so much stuff plugged in all the time (reduce clutter). All in all a 4.5 out of 5.

  good but pricy

  by slikhyani on June 17, 2012

  Pros: Big Screen main thing is that it look like iMac it has a nice track pad and keyboard those are the main attraction in this Vizio

  Cons: Specs are normal as compared to all the other desktop available in the market
  not up-to the mark to the price point due to lack of specs.

  Summary: All and all a good decent desktop and if you want something like mac in low price this is the good thing
  
  But do keep in mind that there is ...
