Sony VAIO TP1 Living Room PC (Core 2 Duo T5600 1.83GHz review

 

Sony VAIO TP1 Living Room PC - Core 2 Duo T5600 1.83 GHz

Unique design; nice selection of home theater PC features.

Overpriced compared to other PCs of similar power and capabilities; overloaded with shovelware.

Sony's distinctive, midrange VAIO TP1 Living Room PC trades performance and features for its cutesy appearance. Unless you really like the looks of this Roomba-like PC you can find a much better deal from a variety of standard desktop PCs.

Sony VAIO TP1 Living Room PC Core 2 Duo T5600 1.83GHz, 2GB RAM, 300GB HDD, Vista Home Premium

 

As Sony's products are often described, the $1,600 VAIO TP1 Living Room PC is a unique, attractive system that is underpowered and overpriced. It suffers from some unfortunate technical quirks and is more laden with shovelware than any PC we've...

Sony Vaio VGX-TP1

 

The Sony VAIO VGX-TP1 is certainly eye-catching: This white-gray circle looks more like a stand to place something on than a PC. But a PC it is, and it's meant to fit unobtrusively into your living room, your bedroom, or any other room where you want...

Whisper-quiet operation ; Eye-catching, circular design

Port covers could be more effective

Sony VAIO TP1 Living Room PC – underpowered and overpriced

 

$1600 priced Sony VAIO TP1 Living Room PC is an attractive round-shape desktop that is overpriced and underpowered. Sony calls it a Home Theater PC and designed it for average performance only. The TP1 suffers from few technical quirks and overloaded...

Nice selection of home theater computer features; unique round design

Overloaded with shovelware; overpriced as compared to its competitors

: The Sony VAIO TP1 Living Room PC is overpriced for its common mid-range features and cutesy appearance. We will not recommend this computer to purchase because you can get similar features in less $1000. If you are a big fan of its Roomba like shape...
