Sony VAIO L gets Core 2 Duo and Blu-ray burner

by Thomas Ricker posted Oct 3rd 2006 at 8:31AM

The CEATEC show generated some more Sony next-gen optical news this AM with the announcement of the VAIO L, now with Blu-ray player and burner. While they were tinkering, Sony went ahead and slapped in a 2.16GHz Core 2 Duo T7400 processor and gave the graphics a needed bump with an nVidia GeForce Go 7600. These additions to Sony's all-in-one PC with integrated TV-tuner will drive the cost up to ¥359,800 or about $3,058 when it hits the shelves in Japan starting November 6th. What, you do want Blu-ray don't you?

Can I have the same with an HD DVD burner ?

Kidding, don't flame me... speaking of flames, hope this thing doesn't have batteries in it...

I'd rather have a PC than a MAC, but the new iMAC 24-inch has a much bigger screen and is just as cool looking (kinda cooler, really) -- and it's cheaper -- than this Vaio.... So I'm waiting for the price to come down and/or the screen size to go up.... I haven't been able to find another pre-built/high-quality/cool-looking/small-form-factor PC like the Vaio, though....

And Blu-ray I can take or leave.... I do like the built-in TV tuner, but I need a dual PAL/NTSC card so the built-in NTSC-only card in the U.S. Vaio isn't as handy as a dual.... I'll have to get an external tuner anyway.... bler.

Has anyone found any other alternatives?

erm, a mac is a pc

how about you get that imac you think looks so cool and install windows.

of course, in the process you will check out OS X and that will pretty much make you wonder why you (and any one else) ever bothered with windows.

isn't serendipity great?
