Sony Vaio XL3 media PC announced, boasts Blu-ray burner
This evening, Sony launched an update the Vaio XL2, predictably named the XL3. As we told you earlier, this newcomer has a Blu-ray burner, NTSC and ATSC tuners (with CableCARD support), four flash card slots, four USB ports, two FireWire ports, and Ethernet, plus HDMI, component and S-Video jacks. But what about the true belly of the beast? How about an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, a NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GTL graphics card, 2GB of RAM and a so-so 500GB hard drive -- definitely a solid foundation. Oh, and did we mention that there's liquid cooling embedded inside this little bundle of joy? Intrigued? You've got until March to gather up $3,300. Check out the next page for a shot of the rear ports.
Sony finally launches XL3
Sony launched its XL2 media PC about this time last year, but the XL3 finally brings to the table the high def experience, by way of a built-in ATSC (and NTSC) tuner, CableCARD (i.e. DCT), and uses Core 2 Duo processors, NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GTL graphics, 2GB of RAM, and a surprisingly thin 500GB hard drive. Yours March for $3,300. (Yeah, Sony's XL3 site is down at the time of this writing, so we had to show you the XL2 to refresh your memory.)
