Slick, top-of-the-line computer but... 
2008-06-26
I've had this computer for about 2 months now and am fairly happy with my decision. That being said, how can you have such a high-end computer and NOT have HDMI inputs- or for that matter, any kind of video input(s). I mean, come on. It has virtually everything else you could want. This would have been the perfect setup to connect an Xbox 360, PS3 etc to but nope... If I would have been a little more careful rather than drooling over Sony's pretty brochure about this, maybe I would have held off- but I can live with it.
Take your time and read over all the specs so you don't do what I did. Make sure you know what it is you're paying for and you'll be happy.
Masters of Crapware 
2008-06-23
This is a decent PC as far as eliminating some cables but comes with no backup software, not even the operating system software. There is a record-breaking amount of crapware preloaded on the PC. Takes a long time to remove it. If I had it to do over again I would choose a PC that provides at least a copy of the operating system and minimal crapware.
It's Bringing Sexy Back... 
2008-06-16
I bought this computer to replace an old refurbished Dell that I purchased five years ago. This thing is freaking awesome. For starters, it just looks cool. It looks like it's floating on my desk. Its case is slim, and the 22 inch Bravia screen is brilliant, AND it comes with a Blu-ray Disc player. Set up was a breeze and took all of 20 mins.
I only have two minor gripes: I think someone mentioned it before, but the keypad does not have a numlock light. Small annoyance, but it's difficult to see whether the lock is on or not when I'm using the computer in the dark. Also, I've only had the computer running for about a month and I've had to replace the mouse's batteries for the first time the other day. Make sure to turn the mouse and keyboard off when not in use to cut down on the cost of batteries.
The computer came with Vista Premium pre-loaded, and I have not had any problems with the software. I actually really like the new Microsoft Office Window's Media Center.
Overall, this is a great (if not expensive) home computer.
VAOI tv/computer 2008-06-16
This is a great product where you can watch TV, surf the web and read and answer Email all at the same time. Only drawback is trying to net the printer as VAOI has Vista and my desk top has XP. It is attractive and super easy to set up.

Sony computer 2008-05-24
I had 19" Vaio before and upgraded to my 22" Sony Vaio. This is a great computer and the larger screen makes everything even better than before.
The speed is great.
Great performance in an integrated package 2008-05-14
This is an engineering masterpeice. Everything you need is in a single package, the Monitor. You name it, it has it.
Review of the LT 28E model 2008-05-01
Be sure that you associate this review with the LT 28E model. What sold me on this computer was the Blu Ray player (it plays beautifully Blu Ray pre-recorded DVDs) and recorder. I got a 50GB rewritable disc, which is expensive but it holds 50GB of information!! I remember back when a standard DVD costs quite a bit and they only hold 7.4GB. I plan on downloading and editing video from my Canon HD camera and then burning the results out to Blu Ray Discs. Full 1080. That's another reason that the 500GB hard drive is useful. There is an upgrade model that offers a double sized hard drive. I'll follow up if there are any problems.
There's been a lot of talk about the negatives of the Vista operating system. I have had absolutely no problem with it, especially after downloading the Windows updates. This is a large corporation, They're going to fix any problems
But this computer... A 22" brilliant screen with a 500GB hard drive and 3GB of RAM!
There was no manual included with my computer and I think that this was just an oversight. I didn't even know how to get the back off to install the AC input. A call to tech support fixed this and I eventually downloaded the huge manual from the Sony website.
Setup was extremely easy and I had a problem with setting up my password (my mistake) and the Sony tech support was right there for me and fixed it.
I have a PC notebook from maybe 5 years ago and the tech advancements are evident. This computer is SO much faster and with the wireless keyboard as well as wireless mouse, is just icing on the cake.
So far, I really love this thing! The visuals are magnificent! And again, it is fast!
ITS A SONY 2008-04-21
Thats all it needs to say. Sleek design, performance out the waazoo, dependability, and its a Sony. Bought a Dell XPS One and it shot craps after 30 days and they wont fix it and wont replace it, so I did. Believe me, owned them both and Sony is hands down the best.
