The Dell Studio One 19 is an all-in-one desktop PC with a 19-inch display with a resolution of 1366 x 768. Dell is marketing it as an anywhere-in-the-home PC, "just as good in the living room as it does the kitchen." The defining feature is its multi-touch screen, although you'll have to shell out an extra $100 for that. It's a media computer, and can be configured with impressive hardware: a quad-core Intel processor, a Blu-ray player, and 750 GB of storage are all options at purchase time, but the default configuration is far more modest.
For $699 you'll get a 2.4 GHz Celeron processor, 160 GB of storage, a DVD burner, and integrated NVIDIA graphics — either the GeForce 9200 or the faster 9400 chip. The design is the same regardless of configuration, though, and its minimalism is part of the machine's appeal. Dell keeps things simple by limiting the cords to just one (for power). The keyboard and mouse are wireless.
This all-in-one is currently available directly from Dell in configurations ranging from $699 to $994.
