Tag : Memory Stick Bluetooth

Sony's Vaio LV all-in-one PC is the direct successor to the Vaio LT desktop PC released earlier this year, but this time around, they added twocrucial features — HDMI-in and an integrated ATSC tuner. Thismeans you can watch over the air TV or connect any HD cablebox,DVR, Game Console, DVD/Blu-Ray player, etc..., without the need forspecial hardware. Furthermore, the 24-inch WUXGA screen worksregardless of whether the computer is on or not.
As far as hardware goes, the high end LV has a 3.16 Ghz Core 2 DuoProcessor, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD, NVIDIA GEFORCE 9300M Video Card,built-in 1.3 MP webcam and a Blu-ray burner. Connectivity optionsinclude A2DP Bluetooth 2.0 and 802.11n wireless networking. It alsohas tons of inputs, such as 5 USB ports, S-Video, composite video,S/PDIF, Memory Stick Pro and SDHC readers, ExpressCard/34 slot andEthernet. Plus, the unit is VESA wall mountable, and the wirelesskeyboard comes with an integrated touchpad.
Sony also announced their JS line of all-in-one PCs, which are thecheaper, far more basic cousin to the LV. Equipped with a 20-inchscreen and 3.0 GHz Core 2 Duo processor, the JS is meant to be usedas a straight forward computer, as opposed to a media machine. Thepremium model has a BD-ROM drive, 500 GB HDD, 4 GB RAM, built-inwebcam and Intel integrated graphics. It also has A2DP Bluetooth,802.11n wi-fi, and 5 USB ports. The JS will come in black, silverand pink colors.
The Sony LV will be available this fall starting at $1600, butexpect the spec'd out model to run in the $3000 range. The JS willalso be available in the Fall starting at $1000, but again, withthe higher end features, will likely cost much more. [ Sony ]
