The VAIO® LT HD PC is sleek, slim and beautiful, but it can also rock some serious power. With an Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM and an easily expandable roomy hard drive, the VAIO LT HD PC/TV is super-fast and can run multiple demanding applications simultaneously - such as graphics-intensive games and high-quality TV and movies - while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background. Wireless LAN technology

^^^ looks cool. read thru sony's site. but when will it hit the shelves?

[aku]

WoW

[iamtheone]

man...finally a product came which'll kick mac's ass in luks department

[Drizzling Blur]

Mac rules forever, Sony could only get close :)

[aku]

looks wise.. i would definitely rate it higher than the new imac's

[Gigacore]

awesome, mac rocks

[hemant_mathur]

It is awesome .. great looks

[max_demon]

yeah , but think about apple . dont u eat every day(i mean , dont u use?)

[kumarmohit]

Its a Vaio, so its gonna be priced @ par with a Mac, not much of difference when it comes to the moolah:(

[iamtheone]

but atleast we'll be able to do something useful with it unlike mac which fails in almost all the useful stuff lyk gaming:D

[aryayush]

Shame you could only name one "useful stuff".

Its a Vaio, so its gonna be priced @ par with a Mac, not much of difference when it comes to the moolah:(And it is still going to come with Windows. Bleagh!

looks wise.. i would definitely rate it higher than the new imac'sI wouldn't. It is ugly, yes it is, and quite thick. And where are the ports? How will you change the angle?

Most importatntly, why on God's green Earth would someone want to buy this? It is not upgradeable, which is the iMac's primary drawback, quite pricey and it cannot run Mac OS X. Why not buy a Mac instead!

[sandeepk]

Simply great!! Really good looking. But it is going to be priced really high. :(

[iMav]

arya os x is no USP of the mac ;)

[aryayush]

Yeah, sure! Only an idiot would buy it just for the good design.

[gx_saurav]

Yeah, sure! Only an idiot would buy it just for the good design.

You did :D

wouldn't. It is ugly, yes it is, and quite thick. And where are the ports? How will you change the angle?

oh! Yawn Yawn...if this was made by Apple, then it would have been a really good design according to arya.

quite pricey and it cannot run Mac OS X. Why not buy a Mac instead!

All over on the internet there have talks about if the new sony’s Vaio LT19U is a iMac Killer, So i thought of doing a Comparison.
The Viao Seems to look good but when you compare the specs with the 24″ iMac you don’t really get much out of it.
-The Blu-ray is n ultra cool thing but just look at the moniter Vaio doesn’t even support 1080p.

[Gigacore]

NIce Post :)

[readermaniax]

Thanx... :)

[Pathik]

The vaio is too costly man.. Even the blu ray drive isnt much use yet.. The iMac is definitely better

[readermaniax]

And If You got For the looks?..
Well.. Still iMac's Better

[shantanu]

Technology news... Remember that,, No Flames !
VAIO is good , its windows based.. Mac has its own Specialities.. both are different and should not be compared..

IMO : this VAIO is not so good looking.. why not alienware then, or Dell or lenovo 360 series.. Desktops ?

THis Thread wont turn into a flame ground...

[gx_saurav]

Now thats some real Competition. Alienware Area 51 anyone

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

Alienware Area 51 anyone
its in a league of its own !!! no comparisons with it ! that alien spells death to all these mere mortals like mac vaio etc etc !!

[infra_red_dude]

^^^ only a fool can compare an alienware area 51 wid this. you can neither compare that laptop nor desktop wid the vaio or the new imac! are you ppl in ur senses??!!! look at the form factor and then speak!

[entrana]

hey is the vaio screen hd?

[ratedrsuperstar]

vaio =! 1080p so no HD

mac beats vaio period

[ax3]

mac is far more superior than sony vaio ....... regarding performance ........


i wont buy a COSTLY lappy just 4 its looks ............

[aryayush]

I see most people do agree with me that the Mac is the better option of the two but to re-inforce my point, here's a picture from the first page in this thread (courtesy of readermaniax):

http://maxupload.com/img/C13668EA.jpg

I am sure only an aesthetically challenged person would say that the VAIO looks better than the iMac.

[nish_higher]

mac rules when it comes to pro stuff-u'll find mac everywhere(with me too) in pro fields like animation,pro audio,video,film,etc..thats just a few to mention.and btw i find it damn cool rather than using windows.

[praka123]

any chance of expecting mac to be accessible to common man :D
OS X rocks!

[iMav]

i sometimes wonder as to who is a monopoly - some1 who allows the customer the chance to install anything and lets u use anything or some1 who makes sure that everything he sells looks and works the same .... hmmm ... may be i know the answer but some ppl prefer to be obilivios to facts and rant about its glory ... hmmmm well such is man kind ....

[infra_red_dude]

i won't drag the term monopoly here, but ruthlessly killing comptt. and better products and then giving no choice to users (autopatcher is the recent e.g, no official dx10 on XP is another) is as bad as "making sure that everything it sells looks and works the same"

[gx_saurav]

Well....apple seems communist to me...There is the Mac, lost in the crowd

[i_am_crack]

gx... you give me a nice laugh... seriously...i am unable to control...

[entrana]

umm but mac is not useful to mere mortals, its useful in video editing and stuff
so id go for vaio, and dude 1080p is hd!

[rajasekharan]

it looks good , for sure.the thing is ....
you just cant beat the mac o.s look ....:(

that beautiful thing , if it runs windows is a crime....
they somehow got to fit a mac o.s in to it.
