Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 (3 GHz), 3 GHz, RoHS, 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM, 500 GB Standard, Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit Edition, Personal computer
THE GOOD Best deal on an all-in-one with a Blu-ray drive; best-in-class performance for its price; relatively free of software clutter.
THE BAD Its 20-inch screen is smaller than some of its competition; some redundant bundled applications; cheap mouse.
THE BOTTOM LINE By virtue of its price, its desktop processor, and its Blu-ray drive, the Sony Vaio JS190J makes a case for itself as the new king of the all-in-ones. Its screen might be a bit smaller than some, but no other all-in-one, including Apple's iMac, can do as much, as fast, for the same price.
