The all in one came perfectly packaged, only that being full of zeal we did not take the photos. The MSI WIND TOP AE2281 is an ultra-compact PC ideal for home use. With a 21.5 ″ touch screen and an excellent audio system.

Its speaker helps us to have a great clarity when we listen to music.

Ivy Ivy Bridge processor and Geforce GT630M graphics! With it we can defend ourselves by playing the latest games.

On the left side we have the control panel, where we can turn on the equipment and adjust all its options and the screen.

It also includes a 1.3 Megapixel webcam at the top of the screen, with it we can make video conferences.

General view of the rear.

The computer includes a pre-installed Windows 7 license.

6 in 1 and USB 2.0 SD card readers.

And optical drive! Movie time?

Its accessories include manuals, guides and installation CDs.

Power adapter and wiring.

A touch screen has many advantages in the multimedia field. But in the edition of documents, programming or games it is better to use mouse and keyboard. MSI is in everything and includes a very functional white kit.

We also have a multimedia controller. Quite a luxury!

And a pencil to use with the touch screen.

The tablet includes the Windows 7 operating system and a wide variety of installed software: Adobe flash, pdf, THX Sound, CyberLink MediaEspresso, Antivirus, etc…

Although we have to give a lot of importance to the MSI QUICK FIX. Able to fix any problem your computer has without the need to go to the computer store or take it to repair (Whenever it was a software error). I loved this little program?

We can also configure from the application the connection / disconnection of the wifi and the webcam.

In addition, it includes an excellent program to view videos and photos.

Here we can see all the technical characteristics of the model. GT 630M graphics, i5 3450S processor, Bluetooth, Wifi Atheros, Gigabit Network, hard drive and optical drives. A very complete AIO!

And here is an excellent test with the 3DMARK11 Advanced Edition:

The MSI Wind Top AE2281 is an AIO with a 21.5 ″ touch screen, a low-power i5 Ivy Bridge processor, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, 500GB 7200 RPM hard drive, Wifi 802.11 b / g / n and an attractive design.

The computer has Windows 7 installed and many very interesting utilities: pdf viewers, antivirus, multimedia player, image viewer and the MSI Quick FIX application. This allows us to debug any flaws in the system.

WE RECOMMEND YOU We already know the specifications of the new Galaxy Tab Pro S2

From Professional Review we have carried out the following tests:

• Synthetic tests: We have tested Heaven 2.1 and 3DMARK 2011 with a score of: P1292. Powerful enough to be such a compact computer. Navigation and office automation: Navigation is smooth both through Wi-Fi and through the Gigabit LAN socket. For office applications as expected, it is exceedingly well and super fast. Programming: We have checked its performance with database, programming in c + / java and it complies perfectly. Photographic retouch: Although it has 4GB, the equipment works very well with Adobe Photoshop. CS5 Trial and we have edited several photos without problems. Games: Perhaps it is the weakest point of the team, because it allows us to play any INDIE game on the market, but if we want to play Lost Planet 2 we get 19 fps or Metro 2033 falls somewhat short. Multimedia: We have checked to play some series in FULL HD, and we have not had any stoppage or download of FPS. Note that the sound is very clear.

If you are looking for a familiar all-in-one or for your workplace, the MSI WIND TOP AE2281 is your team for its excellent features, USB 3.0 connections. and performance for graphic design or programming. We still do not know the price on the market of the all-in-one, but it sure has an excellent quality / price.
