Advantages: A really good computer, a media centre pc, so its perfect for anything
Disadvantages: none

I have one of these and have connected a Topfield TF5800 PVR to it, so now it has freeview. I have also connected a VCR and a PS2 to it. This makes the ultimate machine, it is really fast and has enough storage for anything. I personally install on the D drive instead of the C drive. With the DVD recorder it makes it the ultimate machine in editing as i have linked my video camera to it , with this i have made many dvd's with menus - by using Click ...
...sliding panel the ports can easily be accessed, the electronic devices which have scart sockets can be connected but with the three colour cables, red,yellow and white. These then fit into an adaptor, this allows you to record the videos onto your computor then write them to DVD. So all your recorded videos from tv can now become dvd's. Hope this helps ...

Advantages: More than just a PC
Disadvantages: The screen could be a little bigger

...different. To describe the Sony M-1 is kind of difficult it has an LCD screen that is fixed to the base unit; also attached to that base unit is a flop down keyboard, two very good speakers and a sub woofer. Fold the keyboard flat against the screen and you have a unit roughly 1 and ½ foot long by 7 inches deep. When I first switched the PC on it went through the usual set up format that you go through with any windows operated PC. Once installed, ...
...screen, its fitted with the Sony X BLACK style screen, this makes dark colours look amazing, in fact everything looks great on it. The room that I have my PC in is frequently filled with sunlight and the screen seldom gets to the stage that I cannot see it. The mouse is an optical one, so I can run it across almost anything. It responds a lot better than a standard mouse, a subject of consistent annoyance to me. Yes two years on and the mouse is ... Read review

Advantages: Compact yet powerful. Excellent for MultiMedia
Disadvantages: Not really a gaming machine. No in-built wireless

...To be honest i think Sony have made these wireless more to complement the cool design of the PCV-V1 rather than for any practical reasons. A remote control is included which can be used to launch and operate the various multimedia functions remotely. It is a cool accessory and is great if you're watching a DVD or listening to music but again im not 100% convinced it is necessary Most of the sockets 2xUSB, firewire, ethernet, ariel-in etc are located ...
...of the PCV-V1 on the Sony website. The right hand side of the unit contains the CD/DVD player/burner and the power switch. The power switch glows a cool green or yellow depending on wether the machine is on or in standby. It looks great in the dark and is a nice touch. The CD/DVD unit is one of those external loading ones that when pressed pops-out of the machine allowing you to insert cd's or dvd's. Once loaded you then push the tray back in. ... Read review

Advantages: Great design and pretty fast.
Disadvantages: A bit pricey

I bought one of these computers a year ago while looking through the electronic stores in Tottenham court road. I had not intended on buying a pc but couldn't resist this as my old pc needed replacing anyway. This is a great pc and has loads of features. One of the most obvious is that it looks stunning. It is a pc built into the back of a monitor, and the monitor is a good 20", bigger than your standard screen that displays brilliant colour and ...
...silver base. Around the sides of the computer there are several USb slots which hide behind a cover nicely, and at the back there are the rest of your normal ports (more USb's, Ethernet...) plus an antenna slot as this computor can be used as a tv as well. The speakers are nicely placed under the monitor and produce a reasonably good sound. Vaio Centre Despite the fact that this pc just comes with Windows XP Home Edition it has many of the functions ... Read review

Advantages: All-in-one, sexy computer!
Disadvantages: Keyboard is attached, so have to be sitting very close to the computer.

I love this computer! When I was buying a new computer, I originally planned on buying an average desktop computer, but I walked in and saw this, and I fell in love! Everyone that walks in and see's it loves it just as much as me! But thankfully I wasn't disappointed because not only does it look good it performs brilliantly aswell! This has a 17.5" widescreen TFT monitor, which makes it unusual to most others, and has a built in hard drives, so ...
...the screen and doesn't stand out too far either! The keyboard is attached to the monitor, and when it folds in half , it transforms in to a TV station! It's easy to tune channels to aswell, and has a remote control, so you needn't get up, so you can watch DVD's and TV, this is particuarly handy in itself if you only have a small room! It's silver in colour which is always more appealing than the grey, cream and black designs! However, the keyboard ... Read review
