All-in-one means everything (Blu-ray included!)
Whether you're living in a studio apartment or just looking to boost the entertainment potential of your home office, you don't have the space for both a desktop computer and a high definition video display. You also don't want to have to choose between the two. With the VGC-JS450F/S all-in-one VAIO computer from Sony, you don't have to choose. While a powerful desktop computer delivers the performance you need for everything from managing finances to working from home or managing your business, an integrated 20.1" LCD display offers a spectacular view of HD video played using the built-in Blu-ray Disc player. And for additional media versatility, the Blu-ray optical drive featured on the VGC-JS450F/S also allows you to read and write to a variety of DVD and CD formats. When combined with an integrated Intel High Definition audio system with Dolby Digital Live technology, the LCD panel and BD optical drive serve up an impressive entertainment experience . . . from a desktop computer. And because everything is housed in a single body, this VAIO all-in-one computer fits neatly anywhere.
Ready to hit the ropes
In order for a desktop computer to meet both your work and your entertainment needs, it's got to pack a heavy punch. And the Sony VAIO VGC-JS450F/S delivers a dizzying three-hit combo. First off, a roomy 500GB hard drive serves up plenty of storage space for all your documents, photos, music, and more. Second, a 2.7GHz Intel Pentium processor teams up with 4GB of RAM to land powerful multi-tasking performance. Finally, an NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GT graphics card with 256MB of dedicated RAM gives you the knock-out power to tackle virtually any graphics requirement, whether it's movie editing, movie watching, or gaming. And, to top things off, the VGC-JS450F/S offers the 64-bit Windows 7 operating system.
Branch out a bit
Sure, once upon a time, CD-ROM discs were your primary source for media and entertainment. But those days are long gone. So what's your go-to source? Why, the internet of course. While the VGC-JS450F/S's built-in RJ-45 ethernet offers a fast, cabled connection to the internet, integrated Wi-Fi capability with support for the 802.11b/g/n protocols serves up wireless connectivity.

Defining multimedia
Okay, so the VGC-JS450F/S's BD/DVD/CD optical drive lets you listen to your favorite music and watch your favorite movies.

The Sony VGC-JS450F/S supports a variety of media cards, including SD card and Memory Stick PRO.
