Asus announces ET2702 AiO with 2560 x 1440 IPS display

AsusET2702AIOPc

Asus has been extremely busy at this year’s Computex, and its general focus seems to be locked firmly on the next-generation of displays. We’ve already seen the Taiwanese company unveil a 4K-capable tablet and two 4K resolution monitors. So obviously the next step would be to round out its trifecta of devices with a high-resolution all-in-one PC. The Asus ET2702 AiO is just what you’d expect given the company’s track record this year with Ultra HD. This impressive looking AiO features a sleek 27-inch IPS display with a max resolution of 2560 x 1440.

The design aesthetic for this AiO is rather simplistic upon first glance with an edge-to-edge glass setup placed precariously above a lengthy speaker bar. The keyboard and mouse are also artistically driven, once again boasting that simplistic design but accentuated with what appears to be brushed aluminum. Even the mouse itself is metallic-looking  and it’s easily one of the cooler looking mice we have seen at this year’s event. Other unique additions include some white LED accent lights and a sturdy triangular aluminum base.

Engadget gave us a glimpse of the device, and although they claim to have only spent a few moments with it, they seemed impressed by the display’s ability to provide excellent viewing even under harsh lighting conditions.

U.S.-based customers will only have access to one configuration upon launch. The Asus ET2702 AiO includes a 2TB HDD, Core i7-4770 processor, 16GB of RAM, a 2GB AMD Radeon HD 8890A video card, Blu-ray drive, and 802.11ac wireless capability. The entire setup should be available sometime around late July or early August for a possible MSRP of $2,000.

Trying to buy a GPU in 2023 almost makes me miss the shortage
Two AMD Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards on a pink surface.

The days of the GPU shortage are long over, but somehow, buying a GPU is harder than ever -- and that sentiment has very little to do with stock levels. It's just that there are no obvious candidates when shopping anymore.

In a generation where no single GPU stands out as the single best graphics card, it's hard to jump on board with the latest from AMD and Nvidia. I don't want to see another GPU shortage, but the state of the graphics card market is far from where it should be.
This generation is all over the place

While the laptop industry continues to move toward 14-inch laptops and larger, the 13-inch laptop remains an important category. One of the best is the Apple MacBook Air M2, with an extremely thin and well-built chassis, great performance, and incredibly long battery life.

Lenovo has recently introduced the third generation of its ThinkPad X1 Nano, one of the lightest laptops we've tested and a good performer as well. It's stiff competition, but which of these two diminutive laptops stands apart?
