Samsung today announced at IFA 2012 its new Series 7 and Series 5 All-In-One (AIO) PCs, running Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system.

Engineered to provide high-performance computing power in a sleek form factor, the new AIO PCs feature a high-resolution, ten-point touch, slim bezel display on an elegant metal base, as well as a third generation Intel Core processors. The products are designed to run Windows 8.

The new Samsung Series 7 and Series 5 AIOs offer sense recognition features such as 10-finger multi-touch control and hand gesture commands. Users can pinch to zoom on content or rotate images, and scroll through pages with complete ease using 10 multi-touch functions.

To further expand user benefits, the new AIO PCs have five simple hand gesture recognition features that let users stay in control with just a flick of the wrist from up to three feet away. Users can swipe right or left to turn the pages of an e-book, all without touching the screen. Users can also rotate their palm clockwise or counter-clockwise to change the volume while watching a movie, close their hand to click on an option in a program, or simply wave their hands to stop watching a movie.

Powered by a third generation Intel Core processor, up to 8GB RAM, dedicated HD graphics and a 1920 x 1080 display resolution, the new Samsung AIOs provide users with all the computing power they need to multitask. Up to 1TB HDD and 64GB SSD ensure content in a wide array of formats is readily available in no time and enables users to playback, edit, create or save content. The new AIO PCs also have a viewing angle of 178 degrees vertically and horizontally.

The Samsung Series 7 and Series 7 All-In-One PCs will be available beginning October 26, 2012. The MSRP for the Series 7 is $1,099 ? $1,699; the MSRP for the Series 5 is $749.

Samsung is also expected to introduce its Windows 8 line of laptop computers later this week.
