NVIDIA announced that Sony's VAIO Digital Studio series of mini-tower systems for PC and video enthusiasts will use the GeForce MX GPU.?
It's sorta like a DV iMac for video processing, except that it's a decent tool (dis!).?
Here's what marketing has to say:
Designed for the PC and video enthusiast, the VAIO Digital Studio series desktop PCs (PCV-RX260DS, PCV-RX270DS and PCV-RX280DS) comprise the next generation of computing and digital imaging convergence.?The models focus on power and creativity by emphasizing digital imaging, movie editing, video e-mail and music.?The DVD drive on the VAIO Digital Studio series is ideal for video playback of popular DVD titles, and the CD-RW drive is a solid storage medium for all the personal memories created through the included MovieShaker? software.?

That's cool. Although the GeForce2 MX isn't as fast as the GeForce2 GTS, it still benchmarks pretty high. I wasn't really looking into a laptop before mainly because of the video card. If they put that one in there, I may just buy one soon.
They're not laptops

I don't think these are the laptop VAIOs. That's what I thought at first, but I've seen a few mini-tower VAIO models before, and that's what these are.

Aww...I should have read the whole thing before getting my hopes up. That would have been cool. Anyway, because of Glide, I took out the GeForce2 MX out of my computer and put in a Voodoo 3 3000.

look i just a bought one of these stupid vaio desktops brand new and let me tell you that my 10year old powerMAc 6600/66mhz a/v is much more stable then this piece of crap audio issues like you wont believe and when i installed my os it was a joke it was like a 1980's video game with bad graphics !what is this lil dorky wizard have you seen how osX just starts up its like a choreagraphed stage show what eye candy but besides all that the sony's interface sucks, stablitiy is horrible and as far as windows what a undesirable oS,with all the stealing they did from maC they still suCk!!
ive come to the conclusion after testing maC vs pC that its like pC never showed up to the 'bout! its a complete waste and whats up with you pC dorks not even being able to spell 4 letter words like diss!LOL
get a grip ya'll i used to think its was just microsloth windoze fault but now i see pC's just sraight up are very badly engineered and whoever says different well its like a owner of a pinto taking shots at a mercedes-benz!i guess if you dont know the difference in quality how can one explain it you!?another words class cannot be taught either you have it or you dont!:)
