It counts a 2.5GHz Intel Pentium Core 2 Duo, inbuilt analog and digital TV tuner and remote, 8x DVD burner, 802.11n wireless, 4GB of RAM and a 320GB internal hard drive among its base specs, and all the little extras we've come to expect on AIOs like this—like a webcam, card reader, and wireless keyboard and mouse—are present. Unfortunately, this HD-capable quasi-TV doesn't come standard with a Blu-ray drive, and you'll have to wrestle with Vista, the only OS option. But still! $1000! [Chipchick]

<![CDATA[$450 Lenovo C300 All-in-One Desktop Has Netbook Guts]]> Lenovo's new summer products all share the same thrifty sensibilities, and the C300 AIO desktop is no exception. Looking at the specs, it's roughly an Atom-based netbook. Looking at its pictures, it's a nicely-styled desktop, not unlike the new Dell Studio all-in-one.

In fact, it's actually really similar, although it manages to knock its price down even lower than the Dell's $700, coming in at a respectable $450 a decided bargain for a slick, 20-inch ready-to-go AIO. The cost of this, uhh, cost, might be a little much to bear for some: the Atom processor, paired with the Intel 945GC chipset and integrated graphics (no Ion option, unfortunately), means that that web-surfing, light productivity and net-centric services like Skype (there's an integrated webcam) will be the the C300's only dependable strengths. Oh, and lack of default Wi-Fi is a seriously anachronistic inconvenience.

XP and Vista are both available, though with hardware like this, the former is the only real option. Well, that, or Windows 7.

Just like the rest of today's announced hardware, July is the month. Press release and specs below. [Lenovo]

IdeaCentre C300 All-in-One Desktop
With space for desktop computers shrinking, Lenovo's latest all-in-one IdeaCentre C300 desktop fits the requirements for even the most compact of spaces. The fold-away stand can be positioned between 12 and 40 degrees to help fit the all-in-one into the tightest nooks and crannies.

That leaves room for viewing crisp images on the large 20-inch 16:9 aspect ratio widescreen or watching movies from the all-in-one's built-in DVD burner/player. They can also video message with the built-in camera. Users can even choose models that fit their lifestyle and décor with choices of red, black or white. Based on the Intel Atom platform, the all-in-one provides ample computing power and performance. Since its fold-away stand and hand grip make it portable, it comes with WiFi in addition to its Ethernet connectivity. For flexibility in connection to other media and peripherals, it comes with six USB ports, a firewire port and a 6-in-1 multicard reader. For increased reliability and to keep users productive, the all-in-one also comes with Lenovo's OneKey Rescue System.

<![CDATA[Avega Wi-Fi Speakers Spread the Music-Related Love All Over Your House]]> Avega is showing off their Aios Wi-Fi speaker technology here, intended to spread your digital music throughout your house without needing to have an entire stereo or computer in every room. Just stick a speaker or three in a room, plug it in, and it'll find its way to your wireless network to connect to your central music player. You can have the speakers play specific tones so you know which speaker is in what room from your computer, making setup even easier.

Avega doesn't make their own hardware, just the guts inside, meaning the speaker above is just a demo model. They're looking to get the tech into some branded models and release a whole line of speakers &#8212; ranging from the tiny to the mighty &#8212; later this year. Keep your eyes peeled.
