Reviews of the Sony Vaio JS190J (black)

CNET Review
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.
