The VPC-L11S1E/S's design is so flawless, it's like Sony has built a PC into a TV, rather than vice versa.

Good Points

Had it not been for the disk problem detailed below I would recommend this PC to anyone. However in this day and age hard disks should not fail so soon, so there is a build quality issue on this devise from Sony. This particular model had only been out for a few months and seems to have been withdrawn from sale by Sony presumably because of the disk issue.

Bad Points

The hard disk died after only 6 hours of use, which was unrecoverable and having spent several hours setting up my files and s/w on the PC was very annoying.
