Vizio Reveals Their First Ever Laptops, All-in-One, Starting at $898




Vizio shook the tech world at CES earlier this year by announcing that the company planned to begin selling laptops and an all-in-one PC. Today, the TV maker officially put three computers on sale; the Vizio Thin + Light, the Vizio Notebook, and the Vizio All-in-One, all starting at $898.



This is the first time that Vizio has announced the names or pricing on any of their computers, and specifics are still limited. The Vizio Thin + Light will come in two models, 14” with a resolution of 1600x900, and 15.6” at 1080p. Both will run on the latest Ivy Bridge chipset with Intel HD 4000 graphics, and will feature a hybrid HDD-SSD drive for faster boot times and storage cache at higher storage capacities.



The laptops will have one HDMI port, two USB 3.0 ports, and an Ethernet port. The Vizio Notebook is a 15.6” full-size laptop that is thicker but has the same specifications except that it uses discrete graphics from NVidia and has an Ethernet port. Vizio only revealed that it’s a Kepler-based GPU, meaning a 600 series card, NVidia’s latest. Both the Notebook and Thin + Light are rated for seven hours of continuous battery life.



Vizio’s also revealed the All-in-One which comes in two models, 24” and 27”, both 1080p panels. They will also use Intel’s Ivy Bridge processors, but nothing else specific has been announced.



All of Vizio’s computers have received critical praise for their streamlined design and innovative look, especially remarkable because these models are Vizio’s first computers. Vizio has announced that all of their models will be available for purchase immediately.

We will update as more details about Vizio’s computers become available.
