Sony's VAIO desktop music station
Sony - VAIO Desktop Hybrids and Prototypes
|
|
| This VAIO desktop PC is still in the prototype stage,
though the unit we saw was in full working condition. Primarily meant
for the Japanese market the computer is designed to bring together several
entertainment appliances into one box. By melding computer, stereo, and DVD
player into one machine, the user has better control over all units, and
in space conscious Japan, more room for themselves. |

|
| A closer view of the VAIO 'Music Station' (the unit is so
new a name as not yet been chosen) shows integrated CD/DVD player, MiniDisk player, standard Floppy Disk, built-in
stereo with controls and backlit display. The stereo component, and kick-ass computer speakers run
off a separate power supply than the computer components
do. To make life easier for the user, all common
jacks (audio, PCMCIA - for wireless LAN card perhaps, and FireWire / USB)
are located at the front, hidden by a small fold-down panel. Volume control
is also located directly below the stereo control display. If it makes it to
North America, you may be able to get this computer by
Q2, 2001. |
