First off, this computer sure does look pretty! However, don't let the looks fool you, this is really not a wise investment. For those looking to purchase a hassle-free all-in-one unit, beware. First off, like another reviewer noted, there is no remote control. You can buy one from Sony after the fact if you would like. If you have ANY intention of playing games on this computer you are completely out of luck. I tried to play Biosphere, only to realize that the graphics card is completely incompatible. What's worse is that there's no way to upgrade the graphics card. You're pretty much stuck with what you've got. Want to play Worlds of Warcraft? Ain't gonna happen. The nice big HD screen sure would be great to use to play your Playstation 3 or X-Box wouldn't it? Yeah, that's not going to happen either. There's no way to connect another source to broadcast to this screen.

Want to use Blue Tooth? Better buy an adapter; it's not built in.

The pre loaded DVD playing software completely clashes with Windows VISTA, so your viewing capabilities are pretty stilted. You can do it, but it takes a lot of jury rigging to get your settings right.

Let's talk about reliability and support. The computer comes with a 1-year warranty with on site service and 1 year toll-free phone support. That sounds pretty good right? Well, my computer failed to boot after a mere 6 months of use. I called customer support and they informed me that I could use a system restore. Problem is....they don't include the disc. Their system restore is stored on a partition of your hard drive. Since that didn't work for me, they informed me I could BUY a system restore disc for the paltry sum of $50 BEFORE shipping. If you're like me and need your computer running 24/7, then you end up paying another $21 for expedited shipping, bringing your total close to $75 for a disc that SHOULD have been included with your product originally. At no point did the technician offer or mention this mythical "on site" servicing. I asked what would happen if my hard drive had actually failed, and wondered if there was a Sony authorized service center anywhere......nope you'll have to send it in to their service center and wait 2-3 weeks for them to fix it. Pretty unacceptable if you ask me.

In conclusion, if you're looking for a computer that you can have for a few years and continue to use, then you should look elsewhere. It's missing some key features and there's no way that you can upgrade any of the internal components. Personally, I'm kicking myself for not spending my $1800 elsewhere.

Read the fine print before purchasing this. Scroll down the product page and check what is included in the bottom. This computer did not come with a remote control which is an important item for an all-in-one product like this one with TV tuner.
