They're not really that thick. That photo is just rather unflattering.

Sony's AIOs are actually quite good. Have a JS here myself, found it to be great value. ]]>Jun 8th 2010 8:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/sony-vaio-j-joins-the-touchscreen-all-in-one-ranks/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/sony-vaio-j-joins-the-touchscreen-all-in-one-ranks/
Here's to the 21" Multitouch Mac rumoured for Christmas '10.]]>Jun 8th 2010 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/sony-vaio-j-joins-the-touchscreen-all-in-one-ranks/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/sony-vaio-j-joins-the-touchscreen-all-in-one-ranks/
I've got a mid-of-the-line Sony LV series AIO from Fall 2008. Its been a very solid machine to this day (knock on wood). I think this L series refresh is probably good since it'll give some good deals on the L series that it'll be replacing.

Anyways, its not a hardcore gaming rig, but the 24" screen on my LV is really good as a substitute bedroom TV and I don't notice any Photoshopping slowdowns on CS4 Extended.]]>Jun 8th 2010 8:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/sony-vaio-j-joins-the-touchscreen-all-in-one-ranks/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/sony-vaio-j-joins-the-touchscreen-all-in-one-ranks/
For a VAIO that's some pretty good pricing I'd say. Nice. :-)]]>Jun 8th 2010 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/sony-vaio-j-joins-the-touchscreen-all-in-one-ranks/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/sony-vaio-j-joins-the-touchscreen-all-in-one-ranks/Jun 8th 2010 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/sony-vaio-j-joins-the-touchscreen-all-in-one-ranks/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/sony-vaio-j-joins-the-touchscreen-all-in-one-ranks/
Yeah, Sony can do it. But when Apple does it, all hell breaks loose, especially in the comments section on Engt.]]>Jun 8th 2010 8:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/sony-vaio-j-joins-the-touchscreen-all-in-one-ranks/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/sony-vaio-j-joins-the-touchscreen-all-in-one-ranks/
And anyway, they're fairly reasonably priced - and look a lot cooler than Lenovo's or Dell's cheaper alternatives.]]>Jun 8th 2010 8:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/sony-vaio-j-joins-the-touchscreen-all-in-one-ranks/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/sony-vaio-j-joins-the-touchscreen-all-in-one-ranks/
Indeed:
Sony L Serie :starting at $1300 (quad core)
Sony J Serie :starting at $900 (dunno).

Apple IMAC:
21.5" starting at $1199. (dual core)
27" starting at $1699. (quad core)

Features more, feature less, the Sony alternative is cheaper and more powerful, Apple feature a big harddisk, while Sony include a blu-ray (that is better than a so called super-drive = dvdrw) and a better video card. Plus, Apple feature from a c2d to up to a i5, while sony reach to the i7.

But the iMac has an LED-backlit IPS display, can take up to 16 GBs of RAM and actually the iMac has a better graphics card (the 310M has only a 64-bit bus, the 4670 is 128-bit). Not saying the Sony is crap, far from it, but they both have advantages and disadvantages.]]>Jun 8th 2010 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/sony-vaio-j-joins-the-touchscreen-all-in-one-ranks/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/sony-vaio-j-joins-the-touchscreen-all-in-one-ranks/

I'm not really convinced though, about the touchscreen AIO market... I mean, most of the time they look relatively underpowered and overpriced compared to a normal desktop, with the only argument being aesthetics and touchscreen, and that just doesn't cut it for me.]]>Jun 8th 2010 9:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/sony-vaio-j-joins-the-touchscreen-all-in-one-ranks/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/sony-vaio-j-joins-the-touchscreen-all-in-one-ranks/http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&categoryId=16155&N=4294966455&Name=VAIO+Desktops+%2f+All-in-one+PCs

My mom's new Sony Vaio laptop doesn't seem to have a lot of pre-installed crapware from Sony. It has some software to work with the webcam, and maybe another program or two, but compared to her old Vaio laptop (which came loaded with Sony crapware), there isn't any. So, maybe it was just a fluke, but I don't think there'll be much crap on this system. Hopefully Sony has gotten past that.]]>Jun 8th 2010 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/sony-vaio-j-joins-the-touchscreen-all-in-one-ranks/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/sony-vaio-j-joins-the-touchscreen-all-in-one-ranks/Jun 8th 2010 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/sony-vaio-j-joins-the-touchscreen-all-in-one-ranks/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/08/sony-vaio-j-joins-the-touchscreen-all-in-one-ranks/Jun 8th 2010 4:30PM
