hi I'm rich brown senior editor for Sina today we're gonna take a look at the cases ET 2700 I so this is a $13.99 on one and it comes with a large 27-inch display that's relatively new screen size for PC all on once and this is not quite as high resolution as the display that you get with the 27-inch Apple iMac that resolution is 25 by 14 this is a 19 by 10 aka 1080p that said the resolution on the screen is still high enough that you can play a blu-ray movie or any other high-definition content and have it look pretty great so it's important to know that this is not a touchscreen but what I've heard from a number of vendors touch screens in the 27-inch sides are prohibitively expensive for the consumer market so this is a non touch display I've got a feeling a lot of you won't really miss the touch input now at $13.99 this is a pretty expensive Windows PC it's fair the Aces might charge a premium for such a large display but you also get a dedicated subwoofer would you get over here as well as a core i7 CPU and a dedicated Nvidia graphics card now that makes the system more powerful than the HP omni 27 which you've seen it's also a 27-inch Windows all-in-one still it's a little bit pricey for its performance and there's a lenovo on one that actually has a 23 inch display but that's much faster it actually has 3d display capability so what you might want to buy from all these high-end all-in-ones kind of depends on what your needs are all those three I mentioned the Asus is the most expensive but it's also the most well-rounded given its high-end specs as well as its large screen you'll note I didn't mention the subwoofer is a benefit for the asus and among those other systems because it's not quite powerful enough to really make a big difference so going over the hardware you can see there's a nice clean design here a little webcam up top you can see there are some ports in the door here here's where the subwoofer connects there's also a couple other audio ports some use to be three outs those are very common now an SD card reader and an eSATA port those are the few other ports in the back of the system a couple of the USB twos VGA input as well as HDMI input those video inputs are great they make the system a lot more versatile because you can effectively use it as a second monitor and then rounding out the unit over here on the right side there's a blu-ray drive now it's certainly fair to ask with touch oriented Windows 8 coming around the corner why you'd be interested in a non touch on one I think the large 27s screen pretty much speaks for self creates a nice big space for productivity and it also lets you use this system and say a dorm room or an office for some home entertainment star much Brown this is the asus ET 2700
