Designed as space-savers, these new models are ideal for everything from everyday computing to editing high-definition video content.

"These new all-in-ones address all your entertainment and computing needs— they’re an HDTV, Blu-ray Disc player and PC in a fashion-forward, clutter-free design," said Xavier Lauwaert, product manager for VAIO product marketing at Sony Electronics.

Equipped with a 20.1-inch (diagonal) LCD display, the JS model features Sony’s own XBRITE-ECO LCD technology so you will experience razor-sharp images in crisp, vivid detail.

An optional Blu-ray Disc ROM optical drive is available for the JS model. Watch pristine HD content or check out exclusive movie previews and downloads utilizing BD-Live, a Blu-ray feature that enables you to access additional content via your Internet-connected PC.

The unit incorporates an integrated microphone and web cam, with face-tracking technology, so it can follow your movements while video-chatting with friends and co-workers.

The JS model boasts powerful desktop computing while curbing energy consumption and noise. It comes pre-installed with Windows Vista Home Premium operating system.

Most LV models feature a slot-in Blu-ray Disc optical drive so you can enjoy high-definition movies. A rewritable BD drive for recording, storing and playing back personal content on high-capacity BD media is available.

And with built-in DVR capabilities and an up to a terabyte of storage, you can create a personal entertainment library with up to 100 hours of HD television.
