Vizio's 24- and 27-inch Ivy Bridge all-in-ones get official

Vizio recently announced that its first PCs -- the ones we glimpsed at CES back in January -- will ship in June. From our previous hands-on time, we already knew that the company's 24- and 27-inch all-in-ones sport 1080p screens and include HDMI passthrough for using them as HDTVs even with the PC portion turned off. And the company clearly drew on its TV know-how to turn out desktops with nice and thin profiles: the power supply is integrated into the subwoofer, and the pivoting neck is a single piece of aluminum connected to an invisible hinge.

At the company's press event in NYC today, the all-in-ones got extra official -- as in, we have complete specs. Both the 24- and 27-inch models feature Intel Ivy Bridge processors, NVIDIA Kepler GeForce GPUs, 1920 x 1080 displays and 2.1 surround sound. Storage options top out at a 1TB hard drive paired with a 32GB SSD. The PC includes HDMI input and ships with a remote control (hence Vizio's TV background). The 27-inch model will start at $1,098.

As with Vizio's just-announced laptops, the desktops include a "V key" on the keyboard, with shortcuts to media services such as Hulu Plus, Vudu and Netflix. Interestingly, none of these services will come pre-installed, though the company said there will be special deals for Vizio PC owners.
