In addition to the device itself, the delivery package includes: external power supply, warranty card, book, prospect fast charging peripheral devices, disk with instructions, drivers and programs, certificate of quality of components, a backlit mouse, keyboard, power cable, user manual. MSI monoblock only at first glance has an unpretentious design. However, he received three unusual elements that convince the user in the opposite. We are talking about the red strip at the bottom, acrylic insert and transparent stand. The mounting plate of the monoblock is made of glossy plastic. The rack has a rigid spring. Tilt the device case is not so easy. This approach is more advantage. The maximum angle of inclination is about 35 degrees, minimum - 5-7. On the right side there are 3 blue indicators, 4 control keys that allow you to get to the menu and walk through partitions, select the signal source, adjust the volume level. There is also a power button here. Below are 2. uSB ports, memory card reader and power connector. Consider rear part Monoblock. Connections here are the main connectors. The drive is on the right side of the device. The quality of the assembly of this model is good. Nothing dangles and does not creak. Disassemble the device is quite simple.

Russia is only getting used to computers of the form factor of the monoblock. Often, such computers are used in offices and enterprises. For home, such solutions are chosen extremely rare, except without IMAC. However, manufacturers lately Attack the world market with new products and monoblocks are becoming more popular not only in Russia, but also abroad. Today we want to consider one of the gaming monoblocks presented in the Russian market - MSI Wind Top AG2712.

Output new version operating system From Microsoft, in theory it was necessary to raise the level of sales of sensory computers, but no special movements in this direction are not visible. Understand buyers is easy. For the money that is worth a monoblock, you can easily purchase an ordinary stationary computer with best characteristics. Overpay although the compact, but not a portable computer makes no sense. The computer is also devoid of upgrade. And pay an order of magnitude more, only in order to wash your finger in Windows 8 tiles, not everyone will decide.

Let's see if MSI Wind Top AG2712 can change our idea of \u200b\u200bmonoblocks and confirm the title of "game" computer.

Nothing outstanding in appearance Computer We will not see. Strict and elegant design creates an impression of a serious office device, but not a game station. The monolithic screen on the round stand - in general, that's all.

With a primary inspection of MSI Wind Top AG2712, we immediately find one disadvantage - the screen is slightly rejected away from the user. It is convenient to work with such an installation, but now see your favorite TV series leaning on the sofa will at least not comfortably.
The stand under the screen looks beautiful - the transparent disk creates the impression that the monitor is soaring on the table. Such a solution dilutes the interior futuristic notch. Compact, the monoblock is not called: the weight of the device is 16 kg.

Above the stand is two dynamics of 5 watts. It is not necessary to expect anything supernaturally from the speakers, although the average user of their power will be enough. Around the display glossy panel performed under wooden style. Dubious decision, because the fingerprints of the fingers will have to have it often. The display itself is protected by anti-reflective coating. It is worth noting, display good qualitybut you need to configure it. To get bright and juicy colors, to calibrate it before starting work.

Touchpad Shows well. There were no shortcomings. With regards to useabeliness, this is already a question for Windows 8 developers. Interestingly, the manufacturer is positioning its creation as a game monoblock, but the question arises: "Why do the gamera poke your finger to the screen?". Well, except for flipping the pages in the browser in search of another toy.

At the top of the screen, carefully settled the average quality of a webcam in 2 IHP and a microphone for feedback. Included with a monoblock, a wireless kit is supplied - the mouse and keyboard. By the way, gaming control devices, the language is not rotated. Still, that the mouse is that the keyboard is the appropriate office, and not a gameimar weapon.

With the right sides of MSI Wind Top AG2712, you will find an omnivorous drive that is able to work even with Blu-ray discs. By the way, this is another dubious decision. Most modern gamers do not use discs for a long time. Now it's easier to buy a game through an online store without leaving home. Lack of ports You do not feel: There are two USB 2.0, and two USB 3.0, and even two HDMI ports. Do not forget manufacturers and about multifunction card reader.

Specifications

The size of the display is 27 inches, and the resolution of 1920 * 1080 pixels, which corresponds to the HD format. Four-core processor Intel Core i7-3630qm with a working frequency up to 3.4 MHz provides a computer, a powerful basic platform. I would like to note that such processors are installed on powerful laptops.

For a schedule for selecting a user, an Intel HD Graphics 4000 built-in adapter or powerful discrete can be answered video Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670MX (3 GB GDDR5).

In the monoblock is installed hDD The volume of 1 TB, unfortunately, none in any configuration of SSD carriers will not be. FROM rAM In the computer, everything is in order - 12 DDR3.

RESULTS

In our opinion, despite the shortcomings of the manufacturer, the monoblock corresponds to proud rank - "game". Yes, this is not the most powerful play station and some components are outdated, but still with all the top games MSI Wind Top AG2712 copes with a bang! In some, especially the resource-intensive toys, FPS sends high resolution, but on the middle settings of the graphics, there was no game forced to brake the computer. And now about the worst - the price of a monoblock begins from 70 thousand, depending on the configuration. Luxury assembly will cost the buyer in 90 thousand rubles.
