Vizio has officially entered the PC market after it recently announced all new laptops and all-in-one PCs, both of which having a base price of $898. The PC uses Intel’s latest Ivy Bridge Core processors and also runs Microsoft’s Windows 7 operating system. The biggest downside is probably the operating system simply for the fact that Microsoft is on the verge of releasing Windows 8. Vizio is best known for making TVs though the company did show off its very first PCs earlier in the year.
