Sony Sony VAIO Panel PC VGCLT28G 3.75

Explain star rating

RRP

$4299.00

Review Date

Thursday, 26th of June, 2008

Features

Graphics Processor : NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT

What's Hot

Blu-ray writer, fast processor, latest networking connectivity, good screen

What's Not

High cost, no HDMI-output, difficult to transport even short distances

The Final Word

The Sony VAIO Panel PC VGCLT28G is certainly a feature-packed unit. Sporting a Blu-ray writer and the latest connectivity options, the main thing holding the unit back is its very high price tag. But if you feel the need to streamline your home entertainment environment, and you’re wealthy enough to care about capital gains taxation, then this may be the unit for you.
