As Mother’s Day draws near, my kids often ask, “what do you want for Mother’s Day?”\u00a0\u00a0I tell them I’d enjoy hugs, kisses, and any \u00a0pictures they draw of our family. \u00a0Mother’s Day is a great day to sit back, do nothing (in a perfect world!), and enjoy your time with your family.<\/p>\n

As a mom who loves tech, I am always looking for technology that helps me become more efficient and allows me to spend more time with the family. \u00a0I found a great tech item that allows me to do both. \u00a0The MSI AE2050 All-In-One touchscreen computer <\/a>has unleashed me from my office computer and paved the way for\u00a0fun journeys with the kids…without even leaving our kitchen.<\/p>\n

Before I brought the MSI AE2050 home,\u00a0I imagined all the things I could use an All-In-One computer for.\u00a0 I saw it as a:\"\"<\/p>\n

  1. major communications center<\/strong><\/span> for the family<\/li>\n
  2. the extra helper<\/strong><\/span> I always longed for when cooking dinner<\/li>\n

    But would the All-In-One (AIO) be able to live up to my ideals?\u00a0 Would I use it daily or would it be a passing fancy?\u00a0 Would I finally get my act together and use it to make fun different meals each night or would I continue to rely on my now boring standby’s?<\/p>\n

    The first week I got it, I could hardly get a chance to sit down at it.\u00a0 My kids have been so enamored by it.\u00a0 I haven’t seen such excitement since I got my first touchscreen smartphone and they played Angry Birds nonstop!\u00a0 Once the kids were back in school, I’ve had more time to\u00a0play with it.\u00a0 I\u00a0explored how the\u00a0MSI AE2050 stacked up against my ideals:<\/p>\n

    1.\u00a0 Communications Center<\/span><\/h2>\n

    As a communications center for the household, I envisioned the MSI AE2050\u00a0to be\u00a0the center point where family members\u00a0could:<\/p>\n
