Chinese company takes lead in introducing TV/Computer using Intel's Viiv
TCL Corp., the world's largest manufacturer of television sets, is producing a personal computer & tv combo developed with Intel Corp.'s latest Viiv technology.
TCL's PC resembles a 17-inch flat-panel TV with a carrying handle on top. A metal base folds down from behind the screen, allowing it to stand upright. Inside the base, a wireless keyboard can be slid out to run the device as a computer. It also comes with a remote control and a built-in camera and weighs about nine pounds.
Using the product name Versone, TCL plans to release the PC in China by the middle of January and in Europe at the end of February. In the U.S., TCL says it will manufacture the product for other PC companies as well. Initially the product will be priced at about $2,000.
