Overview
The Sony VAIO VGC-JS was a low-mid end desktop All-In-One released by Sony in 2008. It was meant for people who people who didn't want to clutter up their desk with a desktop PC, but wanted more screen size than a laptop. It was praised by reviewers for looking "attractive" and having relatively good performance for its price. In the UK it was possible to get one for a sub-£640 price-tag. For that, one got a 20.1in display with the usual 1,680 x 1,050 resolution, with decent specifications including a 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo, 500GB hard drive, 3GB of RAM and Intel GMA X4500HD graphics (VGC-JS1E). Most models came with a DVD-RW drive, but some later and higher end ones came with BluRay drives. It was powered by a typical Sony 19.5V power adapter, due to it not having space for a PSU inside.
