, Oct 8th 2009 Discuss [0]

Sony's final new VAIO announcement this week is the VAIO CW Series, a range of 14-inch 16:9 aspect notebooks available in a series of moderately striking colors.  Chubbier than the VAIO X, certainly, the CW Series uses that extra heft to slide in an optional Blu ray burner together with NVIDIA GeForce GT230M 512MB or GT210M 256MB graphics and both VGA and HDMI ports.

Sony VAIO L Touch HD PC/TV multitouch all-in-one debuts

, Oct 8th 2009 Discuss [0]

"Touch me, touch me" sang 80s legend Samantha Fox, "I want to feel your body," and while the intentions of Sony's new VAIO L Series of touchscreen desktops may be different, the sentiment is just the same.  Announced alongside the skinny VAIO X, the L Series is being pushed - like other big-screen all-in-one PCs in Sony's past - as a hybrid HDTV and computer, though with its 24-inch 1920 x 1080 display, optional Blu-ray and optional TV tuners we suppose it does have more of a claim than most.  As for the touchscreen, that's used not only for Windows 7's multitouch functionality but to control Sony's own Media Gallery DVR app. Read The Full Story

, Sep 25th 2009 Discuss [0]

ASUS's Eee Top ET2002T and ET2203T all-in-one nettops may have been confirmed for the US since August, but it's taken the company a little while longer to discuss plants for them in the UK.  Now seems as good a time as any to revisit what you get from either a 20- or 21.6-inch nettop, based on Intel's Atom dual-core 330 in the case of the smaller machine, or a choice of Intel Core 2 Duo chips in the larger.

, Sep 14th 2009 Discuss [1]

We're frankly not convinced that Vigor Gaming Computer's Stealth NE gaming PC could avoid radar detection while flying low-level bombing missions, but we'll give the compact desktop credit for using NVIDIA's Ion GPU in an interesting way.  The Stealth NE packs a choice of Intel Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad processors in with a Zotac Mini-ITX motherboard bearing NVIDIA's GeForce 9300, all squeezed into a 8.74 x 10.87 x 6.93 inch SFF casing.

VUDU has appeared at least a few times here, and it looks like they just couldn't wait to do it again. And while VUDU isn't a stranger to LG products, it looks like a particular Blu-Ray player is set to get the On-Demand love right now.
