Sony's VAIO TP1 Living Room PC

Juniper Foo | Jan 08, 2007

Looking like a hat box or even one of those circular containers holding a treasure trove of Lunar New Year goodies, Sony's new VIAO TP1 Living Room PC will keep you guessing its function. We like that the stylemeister has broken away from the usual boxy CPU designs to one that looks good enough to eat off. According to barebone specs, there's HDMI-out so you can hook it up to your HDTV for some big-screen action. Onboard will be Windows Vista Home Premium, an Intel Core 2 Duo chip, Wi-Fi. The TP1 will also offer (rather disappointingly) a standard-def dual-layer DVD burner, media card reader, a decent 300GB hard drive and TV tuner. It'll be interesting to see the actual size of this piece of hardware since it's hard to tell by a single image alone (it's the only available picture at press time). As with all designer Sony products, start saving early for the US$1,600 sticker price.
