The VIZIO PC lineup includes two Ultrabooks and a Notebook – the VIZIO14″ and 15.6″ Thin + Light and 15.6″ Notebook. Both the Thin + Light and Notebook models feature an enhanced multi-gesture touchpad that allows users the ability to navigate Windows 8’s touch-centric features using the same swipe, tap and pinch gestures as they would on the screen of the All-in-One PC.

The company says it developed these PCs with picture quality, high contrast and wider viewing angles at the forefront. The custom-tuned SRS Premium Sound HD audio system serves as an ideal complement to the video performance of these PCs.

Select models feature NVIDIA Kepler-Class GeForce GPU graphics for those who need the added performance boost of discrete graphics processing.

Introduced today, Oct. 11, the PC line-up uses the third generation Intel Core processors, with the Thin + Light starting at $849 and the All-in-One Touch PCs starting at $998. The 15.6″ Notebook is also available, offering performance along with the Full HD display, starting at $1,129.
