Sony rolls out new Vaio line in Japan

Sony has rolled out several one piece computers that are designed to be used as media computers. The new Vaio L computers combine the main hardware and monitor into one package, similar to Sony's Vaio W computers and Apple's older iMacs.

The new line has several models which sport Intel's Core Duo processor and an integrated LCD screen. The computers also have a built-in video camera, DVD recorder and a Felica e-money reader. Felica contactless IC cards are already used in some parts of Japan to pay for railroad and bus transportation.
