Vizio reveals refresh of 24-inch AIO, 15.6-inch notebook at CES 2014

By

Here at CES 2014, Vizio just revealed a refresh of both its All-in-One Touch desktop PC as well as its Thin + Light Touch notebook. While both the All-in-One Touch and Thin +  Light Touch look practically identical compared with last year’s models, there are some changes that Vizio made on the inside that are worth noting. Here’s a rundown of what’s new with both.

The Vizio All-in-One Touch sports a minimalist design dominated by a silver paintjob. The 24-inch 1920 x 1080 touchscreen monitor tilts vertically, though won’t budge if you try to adjust it horizontally. The screen is propped up by a chrome, metal stand, and is surrounded by a black bezel accompanied by rounded corners. The All-in-One Touch includes a small, wireless keyboard, a media remote, as well as a touchpad in place of a mouse. Unfortunately, the keyboard doesn’t include any back-lighting whatsoever, though the system does include a subwoofer.

Inside, you’ll find an Intel Core i7 processor clocked at 2.4 GHz, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB hard drive paired with a 32GB SSD and Intel Iris Pro 5200 graphics running on Windows 8. Wi-Fi connectivity comes in the form of 802.11ac support, and the All-in-One Touch also is outfitted with Bluetooth. Port selection includes a foursome of USB 3.0 connectors, eSATA, a pair of HDMI inputs, audio/mic, and Ethernet. Pricing and release date information on the new Vizio All-in-One Touch has not yet been revealed.

Now for the Thin + Light Touch, which also remains largely unchanged from an aesthetic and design standpoint over the previous model. The Vizio Thin + Light Touch (pictured ab0ve) also includes an Intel Core i7 processor clocked at 2.4 GHz, like the All-in-One Touch. Its display is a 15.6-inch panel with 1920 x 1080 resolution and 10-point touch. RAM maxes out at 8GB, while storage comes in the form of a 256GB SSD. Don’t expect to do any hardcore gaming on the Thin + Light Touch though, as it comes with Intel Iris Pro 5200 graphics. There aren’t any options to upgrade to dedicated AMD or Nvidia graphics. The Thin + Light Touch also runs Windows 8.

Port selection consists of a pair of USB 3.0 ports, a single HDMI out and an audio/mic combo jack. The Thin + Light Touch supports 802.11ac Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth. Unfortunately, the keyboard doesn’t offer any back-lighting. Price and availability for the Thin + Light Touch are not yet available.

Everyone should sign up to a virtual private network, so if you're looking for VPN deals, here's one that you wouldn't want to miss -- two years plus three extra months of PureVPN's Max Plan at 80% off for just $4 per month, for a total of $108 for 27 months.

Why you should sign up for PureVPN Max Plan
A VPN is a necessity in this digital age because it will protect your data from being accessed by cybercriminals. It will also help you get around any geoblocking restrictions as you can have your device appear as if it's located in another part of the world. PureVPN is one of the best VPNs for these purposes, as it uses a global network of more than 6,500 servers that are located across dozens of countries.

Razer’s most boring product is also one of its best
The Razer Iskur V2 gaming chair in an office.

Razer isn't exactly known for subtlety. This is the company that released a Bane-like RGB face mask, a headset with haptic feedback, and most recently, a mouse pad that has RGB lighting from corner to corner. The Iskur V2 chair is an exercise in subtlety, however, and a change of pace that pays off for Razer in a big way.

There's nothing special about the Iskur V2 at first glance. It's a gaming chair fit with the usual racer-style back and some green trim to let you know it's a Razer product. But there are no motors promising immersive haptic feedback, and no RGB leaving you tethered to a wall outlet (yes, Razer has done both in a chair before). The Iskur V2 is just a well-designed, comfortable chair, and that's exactly why it's so impressive.
