Default Who needs a Mac


i was planning to buy a show piece called a Mac but then i saw this and thought why not buy a useful piece

Presenting the New Sony Vaio Desktops:







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

All Details

I 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!

Default Comparision - iMac Vs Vaio LT19U

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.

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...

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):



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