Sony’s latest creation, the Vaio L VGC-LA38G, is designed with ‘smart office’ and living room environments in mind and the firm claims that this Vaio is the world’s first ‘portable panel PC’.
The sleek design hides a fully functional unit and it looks like the new L series successfully combines a stylish business tool with a feature-rich entertainment device. VAIO L integrates
the power of a PC with a quality LCD and neatly designed chassis. The VGC-LA38G model comes with a polycarbonate frame, which contributes not only to the sleek transparent look of the VAIO L series, but also provides a chassis that is very light, albeit strong and durable.
The GC-LA38G features a 15.4" Wide Clear Bright LCD, with a foldable keyboard and touchpad. The system is powered by Intel's Core 2 Duo T5600 CPU clocked at 1.83GHz for cutting edge performance and integrates a 120GB HDD with up to 1GB DDR2 SDRAM.Graphics and movie applications are easily handled by NVIDIA's GeForce Go 7400 notebook graphics GPU coupled with a Supermulti DVD±RW optical drive for playing and creating DVDs.
Sony offers a wide software bundle with its new VAIO L series, including DVgate Plus 2.3, VAIO Video & Photo Utility 1.0, Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0, VAIO Edit Components 6.1, WinDVD for VAIO 8.0, Click to DVD 2.6, SoundFLOW, SonicStage CP 4.2, SonicStage Mastering Studio 2.3 and SonicStage Mastering Studio Audio Filter 2.3. GC-LA38G is the first Sony model to feature Windows Vista Home Premium pre-installed edition.
But the in terms of portability, the sleek-looking Sony isn’t really designed for those who move around too much, because compared to a desktop replacement laptop say it’s reasonably heavy at 4.5kg. On the occasions you do need to take it with you however, Sony has helpfully supplied a carry handle and a built-in battery.
Cheaper than both the Dell and HP, and also more portable, the Sony VAIO should help revolutionize how we view the PC and its place in the home.
