Hasta La Gadget!

LAS VEGAS — Multi-Star International, famous for its netbooks, is showcasing a new family of all-in-one desktops at the Consumer Electronics Show. Of the product line, the Wind NetOn AE2208 (above) is the top-of-the-line system — and boy is it ugly.

The specifications are as follows:

• Display: 21.6-inch widescreen; up to 1920-by-1080 resolution (full HD); optional touchscreen
• CPU: 2.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
• Memory: 2GB

The AE2208 starts at $800 and is expected to ship second quarter of 2009, according to MSI.

In terms of specifications, it sounds like a pretty decent system that offers a cheap alternative to the iMac. But boy does MSI lose in the looks department. Computers shouldn’t have nipples.
