Sony has unveiled its first all-in-one HD TV/PC. Featuring a 'floating glass design', the Vaio LT HD PC/TV comes in multiple configurations, including standard and HD models.

The high-definition version features a Blu-ray optical drive that allows users to watch movies, as well as record, store and play back personal content on high-capacity BD media (up to 50GB on a single disc).

The unit features an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2Gb of Ram and a 22in diagonal WSXGA+ widescreen display.

Since the LT PC/TV can be used for television viewing as well as computing functions, an A/V power button lets users shut down the TV function while the PC continues to run in the background.

The model features a built-in 1.3-megapixel camera and an echo-cancelling microphone for video messaging.

Prices in the US for the LT standard model will start at about US$1,900, while the LT HD model with a Blu-ray optical drive will go for around US$2,900.

Whitepaper - Remote Client Solutions: The Multiplication of Virtualisation Technologies
After more than two decades of undisputed dominance in the corporate desktop space, PCs are now under significant threat following the long-time development of virtualisation technologies that finally make the delivery of remote desktops viable for businesses. This IDC white paper provides an overview of remote client solutions and how they compare with the traditional PC infrastructure.

IDC conducted a statistical ROI analysis of the use of thin clients based on interviews with four HP customers and found that companies received a 466% return on investment after purchasing a thin client for their business. The IDC whitepaper also takes an in depth look at the benefit of HP thin clients to major Australia and New Zealand ticketing partner, Ticketek.
