ASUS’ fancy all-in-one packs a 3D camera and speedy USB 3.1
PCs with integrated Intel RealSense are still hard to come by these days, so excuse us for getting a little excited with this new ASUS all-in-one. Specifically, it’s the 23.8-inch Zen AiO (Z240IC) that comes with said 3D camera technology, which offers gesture control and 3D face recognition (for authentication); but you can also go for the smaller 21.5-inch Z220IC variant if you don’t mind missing out on RealSense. Similar to the iMac, the Zen AiO consists of an aluminum unibody that tapers to 6mm-thick edges; though it’s gone with the “subtle Icicle Gold” as its flagship color, and finished with horizontal brush lines on the back. ASUS’ iconic concentric circle brush pattern can also be found on the chin below the screen.
Spec-wise, we’re looking at up to Intel Core i7 with up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM, up to PCIe Gen 3 x 4 SSD and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M with 4GB of dedicated video memory. Combining these with the machine’s 16-watt speakers (six drivers in total), gaming should be pretty fun on it. ASUS also claims that the Zen AiO is the world’s first all-in-one to feature USB 3.1 Gen 2 connectivity, meaning it does data transfer at up to 10Gbit/s, which is twice as fast as USB 3.0. Unsurprisingly, the machine has a reversible Type-C USB 3.1 port as well.
Sadly, that’s all the info we have at the moment, so stay tuned as we wait for more from ASUS at Computex.
