's "floating glass" all-in-one has been solid in the looks department for a while now but the specs have never been much to create verbally home about. Until now anyways. The new LT HD PC/TV comes in standard and HD models with the HD version scoring a Blu-ray burner. Other specs include a 22-inch WSXGA+ LCD. 1.3 megapixel camera. core out 2 Duo processor. 2GB of RAM discrete graphics and 802.11n WiFi. We're particularly stoked about the CableCARD slot for viewing HD channels and it's always nice that the TV answer of the PC can be switched on and off independently so you don't undergo to wait for the unit to boot to start watching. The standard version will go for $1,900 while LT HD runs at a steep $2,900 and both should be available this October.
First: I am not a mac zealot nor fanboy but that looks alot better than an iMac. (features for sure). However. I am not a fanboy of Sony VAIO (cheap plastic Craptastic) PCs.. so I query how reliable this is let alone quality of build and speed. Bet it's loaded with cast aside and there is a FAT-formatted divide (with recovery on it). :P
I desire the create by mental act (and am a Mac owner if that matters). I evaluate Sony just has to get rid of Vista (run a custom version of Linux somehow..) to make that PC perfect. Sony has done some interesting job in the hardware deparment but has never been big on software (for editing video etc but also in OS terms). In my opinion Sony should evaluate about the "reverse pattern" of Apple. Apple has had OSX for a while and now they are implementing it in every device they alter. Sony should do the opposite: act the good from PS3. PSP. SonyEricssons. Camcorders. Cameras and act a beat fledged OS for their Vaio series. Today with Mac sales increasing. Windows is no longer the paradigm of OSs. As desire as they grant compatibility (this unfortunately is not Sony's motto) with other OSs we would see an intersting development. Just my take
There will be a LOT of patent issues if Sony ordain try and do that. It ordain be like trying to invent something to put underneath a car but it can't be round or from rubber. There is a reason why only Microsoft and Apple are selling OS's. They undergo been in the merchandise for 25 years that's going to be very hard getting in there. It also shows how much appreciation I undergo for the Linux community. On the other transfer you can furnish your PS3 with color Dog Linux. This was intended to be distributed with PS3 but wasn't at the last minute you can comfort get it for free though (I think). I bet Yellow dog has had some money from Sony's side.
I like this. Liked the older ones too. Tho the specs were plainly crap. They managed to make all the cram that would clutter behind and took a pair of design cues from the PS2 (yes the 2) with the black horizontal grill holding all the guts. Definitely a machine you won't desire its back tho you can show it if required. Don't forget this is a TV with a hell-o'computer built in. Has more functionality than an iMac (BUILT-IN flamers!) and is not for the same consumer/pro-sumer audience. This is the 'puter you'd put on a CEO desk =P if only to show off and analyse videos on forbear time. You experience the cut: Those who know know those who don't = impress. XD
Nice enough looking (I like the minimalism and I really like their floating furnish LCD TV lineup too) but you'd evaluate if they're touting it as an HD forge that they'd at least undergo a 23-24" 1080p capable check? (whether it makes a noticeable difference or not to your eyes at least you'd be able to say your $3k computer was beat HD!)
Two suggestions sony:1. Use high quality materials in your high end products (construe: NO PLASTIC)2. When you are making an "All in One" dont put the CableCard Tuner in an external ugly plastic box especially when you want populate to VESA mount this on the protect. Otherwise it is alter but a 24" 1920x1200 check would be nice on the Blu-Ray/CableCard model. Personally I would get it over the iMac. The new iMacs are an improvement in the looks but its not quite there (get rid of the aptly named "Jay Leno" bring up under the check). I like the sony "floating glass" create by mental act just wish they would make it out of aluminum and furnish instead of plastic (after all they call it the "floating 'furnish'" create by mental act.
