Don't buy it

 

Slower than the computers of the 1980s. It takes nearly a full minute to connect to the internet. It doesn't let you save pdf documents from the internet. In house programs like MS Word run slowly as well. Completely unsatisfactory for a 2+ Ghz...

Great HD and TV watching

Horrible CPU

Quick review as I have only owned this for about 3 days now. First, Sony is offering this direct for only $2499 so no idea why other retailers are asking $3299. This computer is very easy to setup, very quiet, and very fast! There is the usual...

Sony VAIO All-In-One TV/PC Desktop with Intel® Cor

Overpricing of the year award

Value, late technology, more hype than typical VAIOs

Sony Vail All in One -- Out the Door

Splurging on Sony's Best Never Felt so good

 

When you buy a computer that is an HD tv, computer, blu-ray, you may get home and say, "what have I done?" It almost seems like too much for being mostly just a computer for me. It is Deluxoid and I got used to that pretty quickly. One of my favorite...

All in One, GIANT screen, Sleek, moveable, HIGH QUALITY, Optional 5 year Warranty is AMAZING and a good idea

monitor off button too close to the power button, cord catcher design in the back of the computer is a bad design
