Sony Vaio J

Nifty touch features on this PC

THE Vaio J is an all-in-one PC with a most-appealing design, touch control and a full 21.5-inch HD (1920x1080 resolution) display.

This is a premium product costing more than $3,000 (according to a Sony Centre salesman) and one would
expect stellar performance and functionality.

There is no question that Sony has put in some nifty touch features and presented a very good-looking machine.

However, looks alone are insufficient to justify a high price tag.

The technical specifications are not too bad (Intel Core i5 processor, NVIDIA GeForce 310M video card) but could have been better (Core i7 perhaps?).

Memory of 4GB and a 500GB hard disk are acceptable. Then again, a solid-state drive storage option would
have speeded up performance.

Touch is the primary means of using the Vaio J, but a wireless keyboard is also provided.

This is a wise decision, as my experience with touch devices is that they can fail if poked too often and too hard.

How much: To be announced,
but listed at $2,199 on the Sony
website.
