Sony Vaio HD Desktops launched

Sony has launched its VAIO LT HD PC/TV which allows users to watch and record analog, digital and cable television programming, including premium HD channels (when used with a required Cable CARD).














The LT PC/TV comes in both standard and HD configurations. The high-definition version features a Blu-ray disc drive for high-definition movie playback, as well as the ability to record, store and play back personal content on high-capacity BD media (up to 50 GB on a single disc).

Specifications include an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM, a discrete graphics card, a roomy expandable hard drive, floating glass" display with XBRITE-HiColor LCD technology and a built-in ATSC and NTSC TV tuner. It also has a built-in 1.3-megapixel camera, an echo-cancelling microphone for video conferencing and pre-installed with Windows Vista Ultimate. It has a fold-up wireless keyboard, a wireless mouse, remote control and built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi.




















The 22" diagonal widescreen display in the LT model can be mounted on the wall with an optional VESA-compatible mount. The A/V power button lets users shut down the TV function while the PC continues to run in the background, allowing the user to quickly turn the TV off and on without waiting for the PC to shut down or boot up

The LT standard model will be available at about $1,900, while the Blu-ray LT HD model will retail at around $2,900 from October.
