You can most likely get by with the older wireless formats, but if you have a lot of network traffic in your house, or if you intend to put the system far away from your router, you might miss the fatter, faster 802.11n pipeline. Apple and Dell both offer faster, wider-bandwidth 802.11n wireless in their all-in-ones for the same price. You get standard Gigabit Ethernet and typical 802.11 a/b/g wireless. The networking options on the Averatec are probably fine for most people. We have a hunch this time next year it will be ubiquitous, so if you looking for an all-in-one to use this system as an entertainment device for a smaller room, and you want Blu-ray, perhaps consider giving it more time.
We'd certainly like to see Blu-ray everywhere, but it's still a bit early. You do get a standard definition, dual-layer DVD burner, and the starting price for Blu-ray seems to be about $2,000 with the Sony model. Unlike the Sony and Dell all-in-ones, Averatec's has no Blu-ray drive. We found the display bright and crisp, and it would be fine for watching movies. Avertec gets the nod then, at least for now, for the most affordable all-in-one with the largest LCD.

For what's available right now, only Sony offers a 22-inch all-in-one, but its Vaio LT3 series starts at $2,000, pushing it into another price bracket. The 22-inch display is probably its biggest selling point, although Hewlett-Packard will give it a run for its money with its forthcoming TouchSmart all-in-one, due out next week. However, for accomplishing actual computing tasks, the iMac is a far better deal.įrom a features standpoint, the Averatec All-in-One fares a bit better, although it depends on what you need or want. Likely, this has to do with Vista and its more demanding performance overhead compared with Apple's OS X.

The performance gap between an Apple iMac and a standard desktop is much smaller than it is between a standard PC and a Windows-based all-in-one. That illustrates the biggest shortcoming of Windows-based all-in-ones, and it's not exclusive to this Averatec model. In other words, you could buy that Gateway and an exceptional 24-inch LCD for the same price as the Averatec. What's perhaps worse, the $650 Gateway GT5674 is also faster than the $1,300 Averatec on all but our iTunes MP3 encoding test.
