Introduced in early September 2008 at CEDIA, the VGC-JS130 is an all-in-one computer system from Sony. Aimed at regular consumers, the VGC-JS130 includes all the required features for basic computing and watching high definition media. Featuring an all-in-screen design much like the iMac, both models feature 20.1" screens with 1680 x 1050 resolution, 4GB of DDR2 800MHz ram, and 500GB 7200rpm drives. The basic model in the series, the VGC-JS130 utilizes the older Intel E5200 processor and a basic DVD writer. Like the more advanced model, it feature the recent Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500HD, which can decode high definition content just fine - but don't expect to be playing any games on it. Unlike the advanced model however, the VGC-JS130 includes an older, weaker processor and lacks a Blu-ray drive. The VGC-JS130 is available in black, pink and silver for $1099.99. See the Sony VAIO JS Series for more information.
MSRP $1,099.99

Pros
- contains all of the most appealing specifications as the more advanced model
- better choice (Blu-ray model is not worth $300+ more, cannot display full 1080p anyway)
- saves space and looks neater than a regular PC
- easy for those 'technically challenged' who are comfortable with the Windows OS and not interested in switching to a Mac
- not skimpy on RAM or drivespace - even compared to more advanced series
- an up-to-date platform for fast RAM, most advanced Intel video and wireless N capabilities
Cons
- features older processors and poor video acceleration compared to its Apple equivalent (which would be only $100 more)
- doesn't feature the same quality Apple design
- no video out for a second monitor
- still comes with Windows
