Sony has launched a range of new desktop models on Tuesday in the guise of the Vaio RT and VaioLV/LN.

The new RT is, according to Sony the world's first All-In-One to use Intel’s Core 2 Quad processor and will come with a 25.5-inch Full HD (1920 x 1200) widescreen display and an integrated PC component.

A Blu-ray drive, 512MB NVIDIA GeForce9600M graphics and 1 Terabyte (2 x 500GB) of hard disk storage complete the offering.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop Elements, plus Adobe Premiere Elements for HD and SD video editing will be bundled with the new computer.

A HDMI socket is also present so you can connect the PC to a nearby television if you feel the screen isn't big enough.

The VAIO LV and VAIO LN are evolutions from the VAIO L-Series.

The VAIO LV has the larger screen, with a 24-inch diagonal and a 1920 x 1200 widescreen resolution, while the VAIO LN has a 20.1-inch widescreen display operating at 1680 x 1050 and feature a TV tuner so when you aren't supposed to be working you can watch TV instead.

The VAIO LV even has a secondary hard disk slot, which can house a removable drive.

UPDATE: Sony has now confirmed the UK pricing for these models. The RT line-up will start at £1999, the LV models at £1399 and the LN computers at £999 via Sony Style.
