Too expensive, even considering that they are including a Blu-Ray player inside of it and a TV tuner. I could buy a Gateway P-7811 with almost as good a processor, if not a better one, and a better video card for $1499.
Add to that, the memory in it is LOW for a computer at this price point.... and it's a deal breaker. Call back, Sony, when you include a gaming class video card, Blu-Ray 2.0 player, TV tuner AND 4GB's of DDR-3 RAM in your machines for this price or a little less.

Hey, even for non-gaming and for photoshop and photo editing/video editing.... the things that I listed are ESSENTIAL if you expect to make good quality videos in a reasonable period.
Oh..... and the Gateway P-7811 IS a gaming PC. I bought it because..... well, it's the best gaming PC at it's price point out there right now, bar none.

"with Adobe RGB color management. That is, your digital photos will look the same onscreen as they will on paper"

Wow, someone doesn't know a thing about colour spaces. Printers are CMYK and don't reproduce RGB color spaces exactly without extensive printer calibration. All Adobe RGB means is the screen will show more blues and greens than the sRGB color space has.
