CyberPowerPC Unveils (Fully Expandable!) All-in-One Zeus Touch Desktop Series

This product sounds really cool, it's a rare day when I hear about an all-in-one that is upgradeable. I can't wait until the day these things are light enough and powerful enough, to just be pulled off a stand, unplugged, and carried into the living room as a tablet.

However, Cyberpower... ugh, where do I begin? Before I left for Iraq my mom bought me a gaming laptop from Cyberpower so she could chat with me over the webcam while I was deployed. I told her I wanted something I could play games on as well, so she gave me a budget of $1200 and I picked up a midrange laptop from them. Needless to say by the first week the fan started making noises, and I was leaving to Iraq in 2 weeks, so I had no chance to RMA it. Needless to say, it survived a fall off the top bunk of a bunkbed onto a concrete slap, sandstorms, customs, and traveling halfway across the world a handful of times. But by the time I had gotten back, it was just... crap. I've taken the computer apart probably 5 times in attempts to figure out the noise, but all I can guess is the fan just shipped with a bad bearing, but it's so LOUD.

Here recently I started following them on facebook, and honestly all I ever see on their page is complaints from people. Being that I have some personal experience with their product, I'd have to agree with those people. I just don't think cyberpower has a good QC program, or they just don't care.

I've debated on contacting them now and telling them about my situation with the laptop, just to see if there was anything they could do to either help me fix it, or fix it themselves.

All I can say is that one of the major downsides of All in Ones is the fact their vulnerable to becoming outdated fast, and are a heft investment to pay for a compact form factor.

I don't know much about Cyberpower personally but the option to have some sort of expansion and upgrade ability would definitely set this apart and make it ideal compared to other AIO's

If the GPU can't be upgraded, then the rest of the rig is *NOT* a gaming rig. It's a very-large-format tablet that's too big to carry around.

Nope, it's not a gaming rig, but it doesn't claim to be one. It's a family PC that packs some impressive components.

Yep, I can't agree more here.  In theory you could keep this all-in-one going for quite some time, versus those you can't even open up (Apple).  But who know's, maybe Intel will finally come out with Larabee, and this thing could be the gaming champion of the world.

Edit button not working. :(

The $899 version compares favorably to the Microsoft Surface Pro (which is still vaporware), but still...
