Black Brook. Quaint country town? Probably. It's also Intel's code name for its all-in-one PC reference design: a slender tablet-ish device with a kickstand and a handle. It's also got a full HD 20-inch display, quad mics, multitouch support and Intel's RealSense 3D cameras (http://www.engadget.com/2014/01/06/intel-realsense/)for gesture-based meddling. Sound familiar? Well the reference slab was mentioned in passing back in March (http://www.engadget.com/2014/03/20/intel-extreme-edition-eight-core-cpu/), but it was out in the flesh at Intel's recent Future Showcase that's currently touring Asia. It's certainly big, but the hardware's been kept at a thickness of around 20mm. Intel explained that despite the size constraints, the built-in battery will power through five hours of use, presumably including a little bit of multitouch board-gaming. The use cases are pretty similar to that gigantic 27-inch "portable" AIO (http://www.engadget.com/2014/01/05/lenovo-horizon-2-a740-c560/) we saw from Lenovo at CES in January. In this reference design however, it's all in a much slender package. Intel poses the very important question: "What is a portable AIO?" in its own intro video to the design -- we've added that after the break.
