    "Best PC answer to iMac"

    by rpanizo on January 12, 2009

    Pros: Excellent video quality, excellent sound, very fast, quite, good selection of inputs.

    Cons: No Blue-Ray Burner (Despite what review says), Bloatware, glossy screen.

    Summary: This is a great computer and a great answer to Apples all-in-one iMac. Vista runs without a hick-up on this speedy CPU. Despite what the review says, this computer DOES NOT have a Blue-Ray burner, it only has a Blue-Ray reader. I had a hard time deciding between this the iMac and the Dell one. In the end, I choose against the iMac mainly due to compatibility issues and less available 3rd party support. Despite all of the negative press, Vista is a great OS, it just requires a little tinkering. The Dell One is also a great alternative to this computer, and it is better for multitasking. You can also get the Dell at a great price if you google "Dell discount codes". Overall the Dell may edge out the Sony since you can get it for cheaper and it has a Blue-Ray burner. Either way you can't go wrong! Unfortunately, I was misled by this article and got the Sony thinking that it had a Blue-Ray burner. I'm glad that I stuck with Windows, because I didn't make for me to buy a Mac just to run Vista on it. The main complaint I have with this CPU is that it comes with all of this useless software (bloatware) that you have to waste your time removing and contemplating if it has any value what-so-ever. That is one advantage that Apple has over the PC, most of the included software is actually useful.
