Sony Vaio V Series review

A nice review from Network World on the new Sony Vaio V Series which comes complete with PVR software, although not sure which package

The details:

he Sony Vaio V Series are all-in-one PCs that combine an LCD screen with a Windows PC and speakers to create one device instead of two or more (such as monitor and speakers). The V620G model we tested included a 20-inch widescreen display, integrated wireless LAN (802.11b/g) and a TV tuner card with a slew of bundled personal video recorder (PVR) software, so the PC can double as a TV and recorder.

Sony Vaio VCG-V620G all-in-one PCOn the PC side, the V620G includes an Intel Pentium 4 processor (3.4-GHz with 1M byte of Layer 2 cache), 1G byte of RAM, a 250G-byte hard drive and Nvidia Force FX Go5700 memory card with 128M bytes of RAM. A DVD+R Double Layer / DVD+/-RW drive means any TV shows you record with the PVR can be easily transferred to a DVD. Other ports and features include four USB 2.0 ports, a 10/100 Ethernet port, a V.90-compatible fax/modem port, two four-pin i.Link (Sony’s version of IEEE 1394) ports, an optical out port and S-Video input. An integrated media card slot can read Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro and Memory Stick Duo cards, making for easy transfer of digital photos or music files to the device. A PCMCIA card slot is situated in the side of the device.
