Afina AS 7180AV

Stylish, compact and powerful. The Afina AS 7180AV brings a new design to computing.

The Afina AS 7180AV is a unique desktop computer.  Many people think, rightfully so, that it looks like a high heel shoe from the side.  From the front it resembles the Sony PCV-W20 in many ways:  It has an attached keyboard and all the components built into the monitor.

Powering the Afina AS 7180AV is an AMD Athlon XP-M 1800 processor, 256MB of memory, an 80 GB hard drive, and a built-in TV tuner.  The monitor is a 12? XGA LCD screen.  The amazing thing is the Afina weighs in at 9.1 pounds, similar to a desknote, a laptop which can replace your desktop.

With 4 USB ports, a memory stick slot, built-in fax/modem and 10/100 Ethernet, the Afina has a good range of connectivity options.  The thing missing is wireless Ethernet.  The Afina comes with a combo DVD/CD-RW drive (24×10x24x) and comes with Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition.

If you are in the market for a lifestyle computer system along the lines of the Apple iMac or Sony VAIO PCV-W30 systems, take some time to check out something a little different. The Afina AS 7180AV is sure to set you apart from the rest and stir up some good conversation at the same time.

Moderately priced at $1699 US, the Afina AS 7180AV is only available in the US from ICUBE.US
