An interesting note is the product description states an nvidia gpu on the higher end model.

I believe that it was said the 15" model will have the GT 640M LE for a dedi GPU.
Its not a Kepler based GPU though....its a rebranded Fermi

I do like how they let you choose your CPU, but don't scam you on the GPU, giving you Intel HD/lower end GPU since you chose a "lower end" CPU

These are very nice machines, and for the price, they've caught my eye. Will definitely consider Vizio on my next laptop purchase.

I would guess a slot load, pretty standard for the AIO. I imagine they followed this.

Vizio does it right. Their TV's are basically as nice as anything you can buy and inexpensive. It's looking like they're taking that same basically idea and applying it to PCs.

It's amazing more companies haven't caught onto the decent price + quality product = lots of volume. You'd think this would be a fairly simple/obvious concept. I don't own any of their products now but I'd definitely look into them for my next laptop.

Are Vizio's TVs any match for Sony's?

They're both involved in televisions and computers now, I'd like to know how they compare.
