Sony Wants You To Touch Its New VAIO L Series PC

A beautiful match for any living space, VAIO L Series delivers all the power of a premium entertainment PC in a slim, stylish all-in-one design that saves on cables. Center stage is a big, beautiful 24” widescreen X-black LCD with Multiple Lamp Technology for a sumptuous view of your photos, camcorder clips, movies on Blu-ray Disc and more in Full HD. In a VAIO first, the stunning display is also an ultra-high resolution touchscreen that makes the most of touchpanel support that’s featured in Windows 7.

The hardware specs for the new L series varies in the USA, with these configurations ranging from $1,299 all the way to $1,999 (from SonyStyle):

Some of the various hardware difference include Single, Dual and Quad Core Intel processors, 4-6GB RAM, 320GB to 1TB hard drives, Blu-ray Player and Burners, improved graphics and HDMI/TV Tuner options. We were hoping to see Sony push forward and adopt Core i7 processors, but unfortunately they aren’t. This is still one fully loaded all in one desktop though with options that totally blow away the HP Touchsmart.

This desktop has 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth (2.1 and A2DP stereo), Motion-eye camera and microphone for all of your connectivity needs. The VAIO L Series also delivers a premium audio experience to enhance enjoyment of movies, videos, games and music. Integrated 5.5W + 5.5W speakers and S Master Digital Amplifier technology deliver a richly-detailed soundstage without the clutter of additional cables.

Analog video and HDMI inputs let you enjoy games on your PS3 and other consoles on the big, bright, high resolution 24” screen. You don’t even need to boot up the computer for a dazzling, detail-packed HD gaming experience.

The big, photo-realistic touchpanel is also a brilliant showcase for Media Gallery, an easy-to-use new VAIO application that puts incredible HD entertainment experiences at your fingertips. This immersive graphical interface adds a new dimension to your digital life, offering exciting new ways to explore your media collection. With Media Gallery it’s a pleasure to browse through digital images, videos and music tracks with effortless touch, flick, drag and rotate gestures on the LCD touchscreen.

It’s easy to find your favourite memories in an instant without hunting through confusing folders. Photos and videos can be viewed on a timeline, or as Events that cluster together all your images and clips from the same day – like a birthday or wedding.  Media Gallery even learns about your preferences, suggesting other images, videos and music based on your browsing history and content metadata.

VAIO Movie Story automatically selects and splices together highlights from your HD camcorder footage, ready for burning to Blu-ray Disc or DVD for sharing with friends and family. A brand-new Music Player offers a friendly environment for enjoying your favourite sounds, with SensMe technology that automatically analyses your music collection, sorting tracks into channels to suit any mood. Media Gallery can be accessed by VAIO Gate, an intuitive new on-screen launcher that’s your entry point to all your favourite Sony and third-party applications.
