Aren't the HD3000/4000 series on par or slightly faster than the 610m?
I like the layout of the ports on the side.
It will be interesting to see how Windows 8 would perform on this device with touchscreen capabilities.

Would be interesting to see the price point on this all-in-one... I'm willing to say that for around $500 this thing would be plausible for those looking for a device used primarily for media intentions. Above that point when you get into 700+ dollars you might as well build your own computer for any purpose you might want. 8 gb of RAM, presumably at 1333, is definitely enough for a mainstream media device, while "Intel Core i5" is misleading. Definitely a good grab for a sub 650 dollar machine, but it would definitely be more cost effective and far-sighted to build a desktop machine.

Screen is definitely impressive with 10 touch thing. Mobile graphics should be fine for anything low to medium graphics stress. Not sure what they mean by plenty of storage, but I'm pretty sure it's anywhere in the ballpark of 250 to 500 gigs. Nice built in audio options. 4 USB ports should be fine. Practically there are two ports, assuming that you use two for keyboard and mouse.

Overall nice quality if they can put a good price on it.
