MSI shows off the Adora20 and Adora22, two new All-in-One PCs with a 20" and 22" screen, respectively.
MSI, leading international motherboard, graphics card, notebook and All-in-One PC manufacturer today launches its all new, ultra-slim Adora20 and Adora22 All-in-One PCs. The MSI Adora series are the first AIO PCs in the world to use Anti-Flicker display technology. Its casings have a thickness of just 21mm at its thinnest point. Through the use of staggered lines on the side, the Adora20 and Adora22 look even slimmer. Both models are equipped with the Intel® 4th Gen Mobile Pentium® and Core™ multi-core processor and a high-end NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M discrete graphics card (Adora20 2NC / Adora22 2NC). In addition to the Anti-Flicker display technology, the anti-glare display allows the user to use the computer for extended periods without experiencing eyestrain.

The Adora20 and Adora22 are generally available as of today.

Featuring Ant-Flicker & Less Blue Light Technology
MSI has led the way in optimal visual solutions by introducing anti-glare matte displays on its All-in-One PC. No matter at office with serious glare issues or brightly-lit super markets and Internet cafes, the Anti-Glare protection guards the user's eyes against glare from the computer screen. The Adora20/Adora22 are also featuring MSI Anti-Flicker technology, which stabilizes the electrical current to prevent serious flickering seen in standard displays. Under any setting, the technology also reduces eye fatigue after extended use while also enhancing the quality of the home or office environment.

In addition, the Adora20 and Adora22 also support Less Blue Light technology - with as much as 75% reduction - combined with the MSI exclusively-developed ScenaMax image optimization software to effectively reduce the screen’s Blue light emission; significantly reducing harmful eye strain and protecting users’ treasured eye sights.

NVIDIA GeForce GT740M Graphics
MSI Adora20 2NC/Adora22 2NC chose the NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M graphics card to deliver the best cost-performance video quality at high resolution. The GeForce GT 740M supports Optimus technology for instantaneous switching between the CPU's integrated graphics and the GT 740M under different user scenarios. This function means that even AIO PCs can achieve optimum energy-efficiency. Optimus uses the CPU's integrated graphics in normal desktop applications and automatically switches to the NVIDIA GPU when it detects a graphics-intensive program being used.

Perfect support for Windows 8 multi-touch functionality
The MSI Adora20/Adora22 comes with the latest Windows 8.1 operating system installed and supports 10-point multi-touch (specific model only) control. Players can use the superb touch control interface to operate the expanding array of touch control software and games available through the Windows Store. Experience the difference with your own hands!
