Sony combines the powers of an LCD TV with a desktop PC
"And by our powers combined...". Sony released information on their new
Sony Vaio LS1 TV/PC combo desktop PC which is basically a somewhat beefy desktop PC with an LCD TV for the monitor. The PC component is pretty powerful in a typical Sony fashion. It's sporting 2 gigs of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, a wireless mouse and keyboard and is even Microsoft Vista-ready. The LCD TV is a flat 19 inches and just looks Sony sharp. This Sony TV/PC combo also comes with an integrated NTSC-tuner to make for easy TV viewing and DVR-like functionality. It also comes with a built-in camera and microphone to help bring video and podcast producing to the masses. Ok, I made that last one up but it's true isn't it?
Sony's PC/LCD TV combo will debut in mid-September-ish and will retail for around $2,100.
This finally gives pc users an option that almost competes with the
Mac cinema quliaty displays.Almost.
