The Onkyo E713A9B is an All-In-One PC with a very interesting addition — an integrated iPod Dock. The computer features a 23-inch, 1080p display that has a slide out dock on its right side. And it’s other specs are not bad either. They include a 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5-650 CPU, 4GB of RAM (upgradeable to 8GB), a 1TB HDD, Blu-Ray disc drive, 1.3MP webcam, 3 USB2.0 ports, 1 eSATA port, HDMI port, WiFi, Digital TV Tuner, and an SDXC memory card slot.
It’s about time someone came out with a physical iPod/iPhone dock built right in to the hardware. This is a slick looking PC, and its iPod integration really makes it easy to use a mobile device and a PC in tandem. Many times I find myself tethering back and forth between my smartphone and PC. Onkyo could be setting a vital trend to hardware and monitor design. However, it does currently come at a steep price. But hey, that’s Onkyo for you. You do get what you pay for.
The E713A9B is available June 17th for around $2,115.
