Sony PCV-RS630G

 

This system offers decent value and can record TV, but its performance was somewhat disappointing.

So-so performance and the less-than-stellar peripherals cause this system to stumble where it should shine.

Sony VAIO PCV-RS630G

 

Because you can find PCs with newer technology for less, we can't recommend the Sony VAIO PCV-RS630G. It's not a horrible computer: the media software gets the job done, and it has plenty of A/V-friendly components. But you'd be better off shopping...

Includes an extensive hardware bundle, from a writable DVD drive to a TV tuner and a remote control; capable software bundle for TV, music, and digital-imaging tasks; attractive design.

Older chipset means slower memory and potential future upgrade problems; more powerful systems are available for less; no unified media software.

Six months ago, we would've found the Sony VAIO PCV-RS630G compelling, but with newer tech already on the market, this media-centric PC is behind the times.
