The new Sony VAIO JS1 is a 25in panel PC with the computer grubbiness hidden behind the X-Black display. Until now, its VAIO desktop PCs have been hulking great entertainment-centric units that resembled high-end home stereo components. The JS1 Series, by contrast, takes up less room on a desk than a laptop PC - the screen is raised up on legs, leaving plenty of workspace free underneath. Inside the slinky frame, you get a massive 500GB hard drive, 3GB of RAM and an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. That's on top of a DVD writer, Wi–Fi and Vista Home Premium. The surprise was that the system has no optional Blu-ray integration. Sony provides a separate wireless keyboard with the JS1. This can be slotted underneath the main PC unit when not being used. Sony also bundles VAIO Movie Story and VAIO Music box slideshow and playlist managers with the JS1. However, has left it to Adobe to handle the editing process for users' precious photos and home videos - a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 and Adobe Premiere Elements 4 are provided as part of the package.

The Sony VAIO JS1 has a Motion Eye webcam built into the top of the 25in flatpanel screen. A 20in model will also be available for $1,240, no word on the price for the 25 incher yet.
