Sony Debuts Bold New All-in-One PCs

Sony announced three new all-in-one PCs on Thursday at the CEDIA show in Denver, complete with Blu-ray technology built in.

The Vaio JS, LV and RT each are designed for a certain piece of the PC experience: the JS is more of a traditional PC, focusing on networking and communication; the LV is intended for the living room; and the RT is tailored for video editing and content creation. Prices start at about $1,000 for the JS, while the LV will cost about $1,600. The RT, which Sony calls a “High Definition Studio PC,” will cost about $3,300.

All include a Blu-ray drive.

“These new all-in-ones address all your entertainment and computing needs– they’re an HDTV, Blu-ray Disc player and PC in a fashion-forward, clutter-free design,” said Xavier Lauwaert, product manager for Vaio product marketing at Sony Electronics, in a statement.

As one might expect, the showpiece technology of each is the display. The JS includes a 20.1-inch XBRITE-ECO Sony display, while the LV includes a 24-inch (diagonal) WUXGA (1920×1200) display. The high-end, flagship RT receives a whopping 25.5-inch (diagonal) LCD.

Shipping in black, silver and pink, the JS includes both an integrated microphone and Webcam, with face-tracking technology, so it can follow your movements. The AIO includes Windows Home Premium.

The LV sits in your living room, acting as a PC/TV. Features include a 1080p HDMI input, Windows Vista Premium or Home, and an integrated wireless LAN and power supply. According to Sony, the unit can also be mounted on a wall. A wireless keyboard and mouse is also included. Models include the VGC-LV140J, VGC-LV150J, VGC-LV170J, VGC-LV180J, VGC-LV190Y, VGC-LV110N.

The VGC-LV180J, as an example, includes a 3.0-GHz Intel Core Duo E8400, 4 Gbytes of DDR2-800 DRAM, a 500-Gbyte hard drive, and an Nvidia GeForce 9300M GS GPU with 256 Mbytes of dedicated video RAM.

The RT series also includes the 1080p HDMI input, as well as built-in digital TV tuners. Features include a Core 2 Quad processor, up to 8 Gbytes of RAM and a terabyte hard drive, all paired with Windows Vista Ultimate.
