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

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.

The Mac Pro nearly received an M3 Extreme chip twice as powerful as M3 Ultra
High production costs likely killed Apple’s M3 Extreme plans
Apple's Mac Pro on a table at a press event.

Apple discontinued the Mac Pro earlier this year, ending a 20-year run for a computer that once represented the very best of the company’s desktop lineup. However, Apple reportedly had much bigger plans for the machine before ultimately replacing it with the Mac Studio.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple developed an M3 Extreme chip that could have offered twice as many CPU and GPU cores as the M3 Ultra. The processor was intended to sit above the Ultra tier and could have finally given the Mac Pro the performance advantage it badly needed. Apple eventually abandoned the chip due to concerns over production costs and limited demand for such an expensive machine.

Hidden prompts can secretly rewrite an AI’s memory, and researchers say that’s a serious problem
Researchers discover AI attack that rewrites an assistant's long-term memory

Large language models are getting better at remembering us. Whether it's your preferred writing style, recurring tasks, shopping habits or project deadlines, AI assistants are increasingly storing long-term memories to make future conversations feel more personal and useful. But according to new research, that same feature could become one of AI's biggest security vulnerabilities.

Researchers from New Mexico State University have demonstrated a new attack called GhostWriter, capable of secretly planting false memories inside AI agents. Rather than stealing information outright, the attack manipulates what an AI remembers, potentially causing it to make dangerous decisions long after the original attack has taken place.

This experiment shows how easy it is to poison an open-weight AI model for under $100
This research raises new doubts about trusting open weight AI models.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Open-weight AI models have been having a moment lately. Just this month, Moonshot's massive Kimi K3 model landed close behind Claude Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol in several benchmarks, all while remaining fully open-weight and downloadable by anyone.

However, Katie Paxton-Fear, a cybersecurity lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University and staff security advocate at Semgrep, managed to poison an open-weight model and proved how easily that openness can be turned against you (via The Register).
