Smudges! They’re the scourge of any multitouch all-in-one PC, especially for the clammy palmed among us. a difficulty Sony might just have solved by putting gesture-based shortcuts on the bezel.
The Vaio L Series uses all the things of its 24-inch display. You will stab and swipe inside the comfortable confines of the guts of the screen, but additionally have the more sophisticated alternative of using shortcuts located on the bezel to close windows, zoom inside and outside, scroll, rotate, and navigate the online. It’s not one of the most intuitive interface I’ve ever seen, nevertheless it’s an earnest attempt at keeping your display clean and clear.
The L Series fits in up to Intel Core i7 and GeForce GT 540M guts, 8GB RAM, 2TB of storage, and a Blu-ray drive. Oh, and two USB 3.0 ports (in conjunction with 2 USB 2.0 and an HDMI inside and outside). It’s form of a beast! Especially if you throw within the built-in TV tuner and DVR, in addition as a Blu-ray drive and HDMI out. They’ve really spared no feature, and unfortunately those expenses get passed on to you; the L Series starts at $1200, and goes up up up from there. I feel I’d put money into a microfiber cloth instead.
