| Kenchiw's Full Review: Sony VAIO PCV-L620 PC Desktop |
If you seek space savings and style in a powerhouse PC, consider Sony's good looking PCV L620. Although this new model of Slimtop LCD isn't cheap, but you would pay at least as much for other, less hansome PCs with an LCD.
Style is L620's major selling point: The keyboard, LCD panel, and CPU case are cast in cool shades of lavender, and the computer itself measures just 11 by 13.2 by 3.6 inches. In addition, you many be delight to hear that its feature six keyboard buttons for launching selected application, that's some functions I personally find extremely useful all the time. Microsoft Outlook users can program a button to check for mail and turn on a red light in the LCD's bezel whenever messages are waiting.
The system consists of: Pentium III-500 CPU, 128 of RAM ,10.8 GB hard disk, and 24X CD-ROM drive. It also included a couple of unusual expansion slots. One accommodates the bundled Memory Stick, a 4MB storage device. A Type II PC Card slot, more prevalent on notebooks, supports connectivity devices such as ethernet cards.
Furthermore, I find the 14.1 inch active matrix LCD panel give clear, vivid and crisp colors. The text quality suffices for most mainstream uses, but small type looks a bit jagged, but I wouldn't surprise about that because it is usual with any other LCD panels. Also, the speaker generates tinny sound, which can be frustrating when you try to turn up the volume for your favorite rock and roll music. The softwares that include in the package consist of: Microsoft Works 4.5 and the 99 versions of Quicken, Money, and Encarta.
Overall, the PCV L6200 offers a highend configuration with an attractive outlook. I would highly recommend it to anyone in executive suite or corporate environment where high-tech, high-style image matters the
most.
