People laughed at me when I hooked up my 26 inch HD LCD television to my PC. Even my girlfriend scoffed and uttered something about disowning me. But look, I’m not crazy:
“The VAIO RT High Definition Studio is a one-stop-shop handling all your high-definition video-editing needs on a single machine. Its 25.5-inch (diagonal) LCD display, featuring XBRITE-FullHD LCD technology, and Blu-ray optical drive enables you to play, record and edit HD video in 1080p resolution.”
Truly the VAIO RT is the most sacred of golden idols; HDMI-in and –out ports, 8GB of RAM, a built-in digital TV-tuner, a writable Blu-Ray drive, and up to 1 TB of hard drive space! Oh, and the line will be powered by Intel Core 2 Quad processors.
Read on through Sony’s press release for more details but if price is a limiting factor, consider that the high end rig runs about $3,300. But the power! Oh my, the power!
