Averatec rolls out all-in-one desktop PC

This one’s going to send a lot of Apple fanboys aflutter, saying “Copycat!” “Imitation!” and “Unoriginal!” But let’s face it, is it truly possible to create an all-in-one PC that doesn’t remind one of the Apple iMac? I mean, really? But before you answer that, let me just go ahead and list out this baby’s features, and hopefully shed some light on even just a few readers.

This all-in-one single body PC is from Averatec, and it features no less than a full-size keyboard, mouse, and of course, that single black slab of metal and plastic that houses the CPU, monitor, and other computer innards. The screen is a 22-inch 1680x1050p WSXGA+ HD display that hides an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, a 320GB hard drive, 2GB DDR2 SDRAM (expandable to 4GB) and nVidia GeForce graphics behind it.

It has a built-in 1.3-megapixel camera, 4-in-1 card reader and DVD/CD writer for some multimedia good times. Windows Vista Home Premium is also preloaded with the thing, to further wash away beliefs that this is an iMac-clone.

Unfortunately, the price point couldn’t get any closer to the iMac, at $1,299. Watch out for it’s appearance in your favorite local/online stores next month.
