MSI Jellow sliding all-in-one hands-on (video)



Here’s something cool and different that caught our eye: the Jellow Family Computer is a concept device from MSI. This all-in-one has a sliding 23-inch HD LED display that moves to reveal a hidden keyboard underneath. The model being shown had a manually sliding screen, and reps were unsure about whether it would have an electric mechanism should it ever get to market. The mechanism certainly didn’t seem close to ready, and it couldn’t even close fully. Regardless, we’re intrigued by the idea and managed to grab some video of the keyboard being removed. See it in action after the break.

Dell Inspiron 15 (with Core i5) hands-on



We just spent a little time with Dell’s updated Inspiron 15 Core i5 which were introduced earlier today. As far as looks go — well, they’re Dells, and not much has changed from previous iterations. Of course, it’s what inside that counts here, so while you might not go through the roof over their aesthetics, if it’s power you seek (of course it is), you’ll be happy to hear that this dude is no slouches in that department. Yes, it’s seriously fingerprint-prone, though we spied a matte brown option that should take care of that problem if you’re seriously offended by it. You can also get the Studio 17 (you guessed it, a 17-incher) if you really need a beast. Both models we got a look at featured Intel’s just-unveiled Mobile Core i5 processors, (Core i3s are also available but are “coming soon” at this time). Prices for these bad boys start at $849 for the Studio 15 and $949 for the 17-incher. Gallery is after the break.

Shuttle’s Pine Trail-powered all-in-one PC debuts at CES



Shuttle was hell-bent on unveiling its Pine Trail-powered X50 V2 all-in-one this week, and finally that day has arrived. Featuring a multitouch display, Intel D510 dual-core processor, on-board GMA3150 graphics, a snappy handle, and a stand, this is like a large, misshapen tablet — albeit one that’s tethered to your breakfast nook by its power cord. If that weren’t enough to keep the Shuttle fanboys happy, the company’s J Series is back with a vengeance, including the entry level SG41J1 (Intel Core 2 Quad and X4500 graphics), SH55J2 (Intel Core i3 or i5), and the high-performance SX58J3, “designed for hardcore gamers and enthusiasts who require full throttle performance,” with its Core i7 processor and support for ATI CrossFireX and NVIDIA SLI graphics configurations.
