Mike Wendland for NBC News Channel:

Be sure to check out the new home computer from MSI. It borrowed something from Apple, with all the components except the mouse and keyboard built into the space occupied by the screen all in one like the Apple iMac. Except this machine is a true PC and comes with and runs Windows 7.

The touch screen is pretty cool you can open and close programs, scroll through screens, zoom in, change pictures and much more, just by using your fingers and touching the screen.

The MSI AE2220 Wind Top computer has a big, bright 21.5 inch screen set up with a 16:9 aspect ratio.

That's because it doubles as a high definition DVD player, something more and more people use their PCs for these days.

And yes, it plays back Blue Ray. It also can receive over-the-air HD broadcasts from an antenna connector making this a very cool hybrid PC/TV.

I use a touch screen laptop in my truck for work and hate it, I bought a rollerball mouse so I don't have to mess with the touchscreen, they get dirty and out of calibration fast, touch one place and the curser ends up half way across screen.

This article sounds like a script written for an infomercial.

How is this news, touch screen monitor computers like this have been around for a while. Just google Acer Aspire. It may not have done the bluray playback and all that jazz, but if you're point was to say that touch screen computers are the new thing as the headline would suggest then, you're kind of off base. Either way I'm unsure why this "article" is even up here it's just a glorified ad for this new piece of machinery.
