Reviews of the Sony Vaio JS250J

    CNET Review

    May 7, 2009

    The Good: Blu-ray drive a rarity at this price; best selection of features-per-dollar among Windows-based all-in-ones.

    The Bad: Not as fast as an iMac; puny mouse.

    The Bottom Line: Instead of succumbing to the latest fads, the Sony Vaio JS250J all-in-one PC stays the course pioneered by its models from last year, delivering capable performance and best-of-breed home entertainment features at a better price than its all-in-one competition. The Vaio JS250J will appeal to anyone in need of a multipurpose home PC.
