Introduced in early September 2008 at CEDIA, the VGC-JS190 is an all-in-one computer system from Sony. Aimed at regular consumers, the VGC-JS190 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 more advanced model model in the series, the VGC-JS190 utilizes a newer Intel E8400 processor and a Blu-ray drive. Like the less 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. The VGC-JS190 is available in black or silver for $1449.99. See the Sony VAIO JS Series for more information.
MSRP $1,449.99

Pros
- can play the latest in optical media
- more powerful processor than the basic model (is much better for content creation, decoding high definition content, etc...)
- saves space and looks neater than a regular PC
- good PC alternative to a Mac at a similar price
- an up-to-date platform for fast RAM, most advanced Intel video and wireless N capabilities
- not skimpy on RAM or drivespace - even compared to more advanced series
Cons
- Some bloatware
- doesn't feature the same quality Apple design
- can't display full 1080p due to lower resolution (the main reason for buying this enhanced Blu-ray model)
- no video out for a second monitor
- no dedicated video card gimps such a powerful processor
- features poor video acceleration compared to its Apple equivalent
- still comes with Windows
