3D and all-in-ones don't mix very well, the 5730, with its 400SP's can barely drive 2D at that resolution.
Something like 5770 (desktop) would be a MUCH better idea, and frankly, for $1,799 I would rather a 3D + Mobility 5870 over a 3D + Touch + 5730.

Why didn't they use the Mobility 5870? Its not like how much power it draws matters when it plugs into the wall.

...so it's a few hundred dollars more than an iMac and comes with a Blu-ray drive, USB 3.0, a core-i7 (vs i3), 3D + shutter glasses, and multi-touch. to be fair, the mobile graphics in this thing are likely inferior to the iMac's 5670.

still sounds a little pricey, but not that bad if we are comparing it to apple (time for a refresh?). i'm still just not convinced that i need either 3d (at all) or touch-screen (for non portable devices), although i don't mind the feature.

the older brother of this thing is on newegg for $1300, i think. still am not really interested, but wouldn't mind winning one in a contest or something.

For 3D movies this would undoubtedly perform well, but it's gaming capabilities seem to be an afterthought. I'm still not interested in the 3D fad and this does little to excite me. I'm also still uncertain what the touch is for. Combining 3D and multi-touch seems to be a bit of a waste unless 3D play and stop buttons are the selling point of this device.

So when did AMD start offering 3D? Last I checked, only nVidia had 3D support...

AMD is offering 3D?

3D and touch screen... I don't think it's a good mix...

Perhaps they're using IZ3D or DDD.

It's been some months that AMD has announced that their 3D solution was "open" to any company who wants to provide 3D matterial (compared to the one of nVidia that is providing its own binoculars).
We finally see some companies following AMD, wich is a good sign

*waves finger randomly 4" in fron of screen* huh? ... oh *slams fingertips in to screen* stupid depth perception

who cares about the 3d, I think it would be absolutely amazing to have an all in one with a small battery, like just enough to easily move from the kitchen to a bedroom/office/kitchen without cutting power. They could easily toss a 1 or 2 cells in there to give 10 minutes of move time w/out much brainstorimg. Or i guess you could always monkey rig an APC UPS with zip ties or something (if theres is one out there already, no need to freak out, i've just not seen it!)

Just see Apple turn around 3 years later and claim to "revolutionize" the desktop market with 3D.
