Technology convergence is a term that's bandied about by major players in the hardware industry. MSI exemplifies the term with its 3D AIO PC - an all-one computer with a '3D-capable' screen.

On show at CeBIT 2010 and due to be released later on this year, the system packs in a 23.4in full-HD screen with multi-touch capability. Manufactured by Chi Mei and running at 120Hz - enabling 60Hz processing for each eye - MSI's using it to provide the basis for 3D imagery.

The 3D AIO packs a '3D-supporting' Radeon HD 5730 graphics card (via Catalyst 10.3 drivers) augmented by active-shutter glasses, an Intel Core i3 chip, 4GB RAM, 1TB hard-drive, Blu-ray drive, TV tuner, and Windows 7 Premium operating system.

No word on pricing but here's MSI's Richard Stewart who's raring to give you a video run-through of the machine.

Wait, what?

That's a new card, and a new feature, that we'd not heard about yet, isn't it?

Sad to hear that ATI have gone down the shutter glasses line though, I was hoping they'd take a different route…

5730 is new, but the 3d glasses supp is not.

fairy snuff. A quick google suggests that it's probably the mobile 5730 (makes sense in an all-in-one I guess) which is basically a lower clocked (and presumably volted!) 5570 / 5670. I must've missed the ATI support 3D thing - would definitely have preferred to see them going down the polarised route: not that I'm likely to invest in 3D technology for the next decade or two anyway!

except 60hz shutter has been proven to be crap.
