Viziohas come up out of nowhere (as @The_VaughnSC reminded me, these were announced on CES. Still, it’s surprising to me that they could come from making TV sets, to laptops and desktops that look really nice in such a short period of time.

I didn’t know the story of this company, a small enterprise based in California that reminds me a little bit of Apple in the beginning. Of the many points that I found interesting, these two stand out: [...]
