While tablets are getting the most attention leading up to the launch of Windows 8, Vizio revealed its holiday lineup of all-in-one desktop PCs and notebooks built for Microsoft's new OS.
Vizio's lineup starts with 24-inch and 27-inch all-in-one desktop PCs, which will be available in models with both a standard screen and a capacitive touchscreen capable of registering up to 10 fingers simultaneously.
Vizio's second laptop line
Vizio will also introduce two new 14-inch and 15.6-inch Thin + Light ultrabooks and a new 15.6-inch notebook for Windows 8 later this year.
Unlike the all-in-one PCs, the new line of laptops don't feature touch displays, but they will have enhanced multi-gesture touchpads.
In terms of specs the models are similar to Vizio's existing laptops, with the 14-inch and 15.6-inch ultrabooks sporting Intel Core i5 and i7 Ivy Bridge CPUs respectively in a compact frame weighing under 3.9 pounds.
The 15.6-inch notebook aims to be more of a desktop replacement, equipped with a quad 2.3GHz i7 processor and specs otherwise identical to the company's new 27-inch desktop PC.
All of the systems will be available in time for the holiday season, though Vizio didn't provide an exact release date.
Those in the market for a new desktop can pick up the 24-inch touch PC starting at $999 and 27-inch model starting at $1,539. The 14-inch and 15.6-inch Thin + Lights will start at $849 and $899 respectively, while the 15.6-inch notebook will run for $1,199.
