Vizio to Roll Out Full Line of PCs at CES 2012 [PICS]

Posted by immunk pare on 12.32

Vizio, known for its low-cost but good-quality HDTVs, will introduce five new desktop PCs and laptops at CES 2012.

Although the official announcement hasn’t been made yet, we obtained pictures of some of the surprisingly complete group of products Vizio will introduce, starting with a 27″ all-in-one PC and ranging down to a 14″ thin-and-light notebook. In between will be a 24″ all-in-one PC, a 15.6″ notebook and a 15.6 ” thin-and-light notebook

According to Bloomberg, Vizio’s Chief Technology Officer Matt McRae said the new line of Vizio PCs will be available in June, and all will have the new Intel Ivy Bridge processors on board. He wouldn’t share any other specifics about the products, but mentioned that prices will be “substantially less” than similar hardware from Apple.

It looks to us like Visio is aiming straight for the heart of Apple’s iMac and MacBook business, undercutting it with lower prices and taking advantage of the “Apple tax” that many think makes people pay extra for that Apple logo.

Take a look at the gallery of teaser pics below, and let us know what you think of Vizio’s new line of PCs. We’ll have more details as Vizio announces the products on Monday.
