According to PCWorld, the machine only has fast ethernet? Yeesh. It's 2009, Dell -- gigabit ethernet is kind of a requirement at this point.

@regnez: lol..wow. That's too idiotic, even for an oversight. I was almost certain that no computer on earth came with any less than gigabit now.

As long as it's optional I guess it doesn't matter, but the multitouch gimmick on this thing is sort of silly, considering that it's not even on a thing that would allow it to be used with general comfort.

@Kaiser-Machead: well for $700 who cares if its optional or not IMO.

@Matingmonkey: That sounds unlikely for the specs stated in the article. Considering the price of Dell's current AIO, I assume that, with multitouch and BD installed, it would go for well over 1k. I will be thoroughly impressed if they can sell it for $700.

@Kaiser-Machead: I agree. Touch screens would be tiring and awkward to use on a desktop computer. Plus, they would result in many smudges. Multi touch would be even more pointless.

Let's hope it's available in other colors.

Sweet, finally a competitor to the i"am-smug-as-hell-because-I-own-a"Mac from a reputable company. Now the people that use computers for actual work can have an attractive, cordless desktop too!

@Outdriver: Dell's been making an AIO for quite some time now, as well as Gateway and HP, so it's not as though there weren't any alternatives to the iMac.

As for doing actual work, this thing will not make much difference. If you're talking about an office, the wires don't even matter, unless bossman/lady says that you have to set the thing up yourself (which he/she won't) :P
