After spending a bit of time with Sony's
new all-in-one desktop lineup at CEDIA 2008, it was easy to recognize that some serious thought went into the
design.
CNET was able to corral one of the lower-end JS units, the VAIO VGC-JS190J to be specific, and took the time to determine whether the innards were as delightful as the exterior. Overall, critics found that it was the "best deal" going on an all-in-one desktop with an inbuilt Blu-ray drive, and amazingly, they found it "relatively free of software clutter." Furthermore, they yearned for more screen space than just 20-inches when watching those BD flicks, but outside of that, they found that "no other all-in-one, including Apple's iMac, could do as much, as fast, for the same price." Sounds like a winner, no?

No, not really. It sounds like Engadget HD's whoring for Sony is showing no bounds. Are you seriously planning to report reviews, on Engadget HD, on every single flaming PC that has a Blu-ray drive in it? Or just the Sony PCs?
Here's an article that's actually relevant to this blog: http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/09/23/notebook-makers-getting-choosy
It will not suit your Warner paymasters, but it's actually on topic, and has something to do with HD.
