Merging the experience of a PC with a home entertainment center, Sony has launched the new VAIO LM notebook with a panel PC design.
Aimed at those who want the functionality of a PC in their living area, the VAIO LM comes with an inbuilt TV tuner, 1.3 mega pixels camera with face-tracking software, 2.1-channel speaker system, and sub-woofers that can be used for making video conference calls.
The new VAIO has a 19-inches screen framed by a transparent bezel to blend into the surrounding environment -- reminiscent of BRAVIA, and can be mounted on a wall. It also packs a wireless keyboard, mouse, and remote control.
The VAIO LM comes with an Intel Core2 Duo Processor T7250 (2.00GHz), 2GB DDR2 SDRAM, 250GB Hard Disk Drive (HDD), Windows Vista Home Premium, and Nvidia graphics card.
In addition, it features the latest VAIO Music Box software, and the MOVIE Story software for creating and editing videos.
The Music Box software enables users to define default channel capacity for music in advance, eliminating the need to adjust the sound manually every time. The system can automatically select signal descriptors for sound classification into 24 channels.
Sony's VAIO VGC-LM is available for a price of Rs 109,900.
Has anyone seen the new Vaio keyboards? Utter rubbish I say. They're keys are metallic and feel like a calculator. Go for a Dell or HP folks. Vaio is only bling bling exteriors. The experience and screen is horrible.

Nowadays everything of Sony is made in China. So they are like LG or Samsung only. In fact LG/Samsung may be better. Earlier Sony used to be premimum brand. Nowadays, their quality control is also lax(insider information) as they are unable to compete.
Everythin sounds ok except the 19inches part. I doubt that ppl will spend more than a lakh on a somethin with a 19" screen.. It would look so small..
