The new PC boasts an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 3GB of memory, a 500GB hard disk, 802.11n/g/draftn Wi-Fi, an optical drive and there's an integrated Motion Eye webcam for video chat or blogging.

The Dolby Home Theater technology claims to create an impressive virtual surround sound effect, while there's also Sony's Sound Reality signal processor chip built into the system that can handle SA-CD.

Complete with various bundled software, including Windows Vista Home Premium, the new iMac-rival will be available in pink and silver.

UPDATE: Prices for the JS-1 will start at £699.

  • Looks nice, but who will really buy this at the premium Sony commands in todays financial gloom?

    I would also question whether 500GB is really enough for a machine at this end of the market.

  • A shame all the pc v mac saddos use every opportunity to bash each other with handbags - it adds nothing and is purile.

    The pity about this machine is that is shackel;ed by having wired keyboard and nouse! Why not wireless peripherals??
