This thing looks like a well thought out media server, in a dorm room. I'd like to see Sony offer more options for people wanting larger screens. Twenty four inches doesn't cut it for most living rooms.

I wonder what the $1300 version WON'T have.

While it looks cool and touchscreen is neat, most cards these days have HDMI, support 1080p and add in a $30 usb HD adapter you can get HDTV and DVR shows.

Ahh, 240m GT - uses mobile GPU like iMacs so it is not upgradeable, but I guess you can buy this for whatever and a cheap $600 build for modern games.

wow, so its like the gaming rig and 24" 1080p monitor that i just built this year, only less powerful, combined into one unit and probably nearly tripled in price.... not to mention it will be obsolete in a couple years and unable to be upgraded.

oh wait, its a touchscreen, yeah that will be great. Having finger smudges all over your display is TOTALLY worth shelling out $1k for...

Im not too keen of touch screen desktops. First, I cant really imagine people sitting at their PCs with one arm up in the air for long periods of time surfing the web. I wonder if i should patent some kind of arm prop now?

Either way I see touch being far more useful in a table type atmosphere.

not interested!
Finger touch is definitely the way to go, not palm touch!
It's already hard to keep fingerprints from a screen, let alone hand prints (hands have the tendency to sweat a lot).
