MSI Wind Top AE2420 packs 3D, multitouch, 1080p and Core i7

CeBIT 2010 is coming, and MSI are tipping their hand for what pleasures they'll have at the show.  Most interesting are the latest Wind Top all-in-ones, the 24-inch AE2420 and the 22-inch AE2280; rather than the nettop-based models we've seen before, these new Wind Tops will use Intel's Core i3, i5 and i7 processors, ramping up to 3D capabilities on the top-spec machine.

The 24-inch Wind Top AE2420 has a 120Hz refresh rate and, with the appropriate dorky glasses, can show 3D visuals in 1080p resolution.  There are integrated 10W speakers, along with multitouch-capable displays.

The two new models will be on show alongside MSI's other range of smaller all-in-ones and its Wind Box line of nettops.  No word on pricing for the AE2420 or AE2280 as yet; we're hoping to hear more at CeBIT 2010 in a few days time.
