MSI’s Projector PC concept packs NVIDIA ION and Atom inside
Jan 11th
All-in-one PCs have been all the rage recently. But did you know that instead of a screen, a PC’s innards can be packed alongside an integrated projector as well? This is exactly what MSI is trying to accomplish with their Projector PC concept, and so far it looks like they have succeeded.
They’ve displayed a prototype at CES in Las Vegas and revealed a bit about its system specs. All in, it looks to be a nettop (with NVIDIA’s ION graphics chipset using an unidentified version of Intel’s Atom processor, 3.5mm headphone jack, HDMI out, four USB ports and a built-in DVD writer) combined with a mid-range projector that can output 1080p on a 60-inch diagonal space.
MSI plans to launch this Projector PC by the third quarter of this year, so if playing Facebook games at 1080p is your thing, watch out for it then.

Dual-touchscreen prototype netbook shown by MSI with Windows 7
Jan 9th
What was initially reported as a dual-screened e-book reader has now turned out to be a dual-touchscreen tablet prototype, showcased by none other than MSI at CES in Las Vegas. The prototype shown by MSI at the electronics expo features double 10-inch 1024×600 touchscreens and runs Windows 7, which should make it an excellent tablet PC once it does hit retail stores. The device is still pending approval though, if those who manage to get a look at and handle it during its appearance at CES convince MSI that it’s an OK product to release.
