When space is at a premium, the Sony VAIO VGC-LS21N all-in-one desktop PC offers a slender, space-saving design that will complement your living space while also providing a powerful home computing platform with an integrated widescreen LCD display. Reminiscent of a classic glass picture frame, the remarkably thin VGC-LS21N is enclosed in a transparent polycarbonate frame, giving it a stunning, floating effect. Cables are discretely routed, ports are conveniently located on the sides, and wired connections are minimized (with the integrated Wi-Fi LAN and included wireless keyboard and mouse) to enhance its clutter-free design.

In addition to its computing prowess, this all-in-one desktop also doubles as a great platform for watching DVD movies, thanks to the 19-inch LCD screen, featuring Sony’s XBRITE Hi-Color panel technology for brighter imagery and more vibrant colors. It has a built-in DVD burner and Sony’s Click to DVD software so you can create a digital entertainment library for personal viewing at your convenience. Video conferencing has never been easier, thanks to the integrated camera and free AOL AIM chat service.

Under the hood, the VGC-LS21N is powered by the 1.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 processor, which provides an optimized, multithreaded architecture for improved gaming and multitasking performance. It also features an extra-large 250 GB hard drive, 2 GB of installed RAM (maximizing capacity), Intel Graphic Media Accelerator graphics card with up to 224 MB of shared video RAM, multi-format Memory Stick reader, and a Secure Digital media slot.

This desktop also comes preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Vista Business, which has a new user interface, named Windows Aero, that makes it easy to navigate through the operating system and from application to application. For instance, Windows Aero helps you juggle multiple tasks at once by providing a three-dimensional, real-time, animated view of all your open applications and documents. Vista also integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures.

Screen, Video & Audio
The 19-inch LCD panel has an amazing 1680 x 1050-pixel resolution. And thanks to Sony’s XBRITE Hi-Color panel technology, the flat-panel screen will deliver dazzling colors and sharp images whether displaying a DVD movie, television show, or web content. Video is powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, which uses Intel Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) and provides up to 224 MB of total graphics memory from the system memory. Audio is powered by Sony’s Sound Reality audio enhancer.

The Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 processor has a 1.66 GHz processor speed, super-fast 667 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and large 2 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system’s performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)

The VAIO(R) LS21N PC/Display has the essential for a powerful computing performance typically found in a desktop tower but built into the back of a widescreen LCD display in a slim chassis. The cables are discretely routed, ports are conveniently located on the sides and wired connection are minimized with the included wireless keyboard and mouse.
