Affordable and upgradable 21.5-inch and 19.5-inch AiO PCs designed for family use feature enhanced performance plus an all-new slim and stylish design

ASUS today announced the new ET22 and ET20 Series (ET2230, ET2231, ET2030, ET2031), an affordable series of 21.5-inch and 19.5-inch All-in-One (AiO) PCs designed with the computing needs of families in mind.

Building on the success of the award-winning 23-inch ET2321 AiO PC, the new models sport a slim and stylish design, enhanced performance, unrivalled ease of use and — for the first time in an ASUS AiO PC — user-upgradable memory. Their versatility and flexibility makes them the perfect choice for everyday computing and entertainment.

Enhanced performance with upgradable flexibility

ASUS ET22 and ET 20 Series offer enhanced performance with the latest 4th-generation Intel® processors, ensuring easy multitasking in all applications. The up to NVIDIA® GeForce® GT820M graphics uses the advanced NVIDIA Kepler architecture for effortless video editing, smooth animation and responsive gameplay.

A specially-designed door at the rear of the PC allows users to upgrade the AiO’s memory themselves in a matter of seconds, with two DIMM slots available. This makes ET22 and ET20 Series both flexible and future-proof, with users able to add extra memory when needed.

Stylish and space saving design

ASUS AiO PCs are famous for their award-winning design — ET2321 was honored with both a 2014 CES Innovation Award and a Taiwan Excellence Award — and the new ET22 and ET20 series have been given an even more graceful, stylish and sophisticated appearance. The all-in-one design reduces cable clutter to a minimum, and the slim casing tapers to a minimum thickness of just 13mm.

The elegant and chic new models will blend perfectly into any home setting, and feature subtle but practical design details. The adjustable stand and hinge design are inspired by sculpture, and allow ET22 and ET20 series to be tilted from -5 to 25 degrees for comfortable use.

Stunning multimedia enjoyment with intuitive multi-touch control

Both ET22 and ET20 Series have an LED-backlit 16:9 display, with optional advanced 10-point multi-touch for outstandingly accurate and intuitive touch control in Windows 8.1. ET2230/ET2231 has a 21.5-inch Full HD screen, while ET2030/ET2031 features a 19.5-inch HD screen. All models have low power consumption, exceptional brightness and clarity, plus stunning detail for superb multimedia entertainment and effortless productivity.

Exclusive ASUS SonicMaster technology is developed by the ASUS Golden Ear team, giving E22 and ET20 Series deep, powerful sound with rich bass and clear vocals for the ultimate audio experience.MaxxAudio Master by Waves, a recipient of a 2011 Technical GRAMMY Award® adds professional-quality tools to the awesome audio experience.

Innovative usability, convenient connectivity

Both ET22 and ET20 series have a built-in camera with advanced hand-gesture recognition software (HGRS) to accurately and reliably interpret hand movements from up to five meters away. Users can play songs or videos, adjust player settings, zoom photos in or out, or flip the pages of a presentation —all without ever touching the screen, keyboard or mouse.

Recognizing the gadget-rich nature of modern households, the ASUS Ai Charger feature allows users to charge any USB-compatible device up to 50% faster than with a standard USB port, even when the PC is turned off

For easy access to files and documents any time, from any device, each ASUS AiO PC includes 100GB of free ASUS Webstorage for one year.

Both new AiO models come equipped with four USB 3.0 ports, more than any competing model in the market. SuperSpeed USB 3.0 lets users transfer data between devices up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0. For easy connection to large-screen TVs or monitors, ET22 and ET20 series feature a convenient HDMI-out port.
