The Asus ET2700 all-in-one joins growing roster of 27-inch all-in-ones

From CNET News.com: Asus joins HP, Vizio, and Lenovo in introducing a Windows all-in-one with a new large screen display at CES. The ET2700 will appear this month at Best Buy with a 27-inch, 1,920x1080 display built-in. Like HP's Omni 27, also available now, the Asus model is not a touch screen. Asus told me at its booth that it will add touch in a mid-year update. I've asked for pricing information, and will update when I have it.

The screen size is really the only significant news for this system. The Core i5 CPU and GeForce 540M graphics chip should come as no surprise, and the array of ports--USB 3.0, HDMI in, eSATA--is in keeping with its competition.

I'd only note that the design of the ET2700, with its edge-to-edge glass and pedal-style support foot, joins Lenovo in borrowing liberally from Apple's iMac design language. A vendor copying Apple is also not especially newsworthy, but at least the trend remains healthy.
