The Sony VAIO VPCJ118FX - One of the Best All in One Desktops in the Market

The Sony VAIO VPCJ118FX - one of the best all in one computers on the market according to our tests. We have been delightfully surprised by its design, power, performance, and features. In our review, we will share with you how this all in one is special, why it performs so well, and what additions should be noted.

Let's start with its size. At just 20.7 inches width x 15.7 inches tall x 7.3 inches deep, and weighting just less than 21.6 lbs, the Sony VAIO VPCJ118FX is far from being large and bulky, like some other all in one desktops we have tested (we do not say which out of respect for their manufacturers). Aside its size and weight, this PC is quite elegant in design. We must admit that this is mostly due to its superb 21.5-inch touchscreen. Although the Nvidia GeForce 310M Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is not as good as we would have expected, it manages to render a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, full HD. The graphic quality is good, although this is not a gaming station as far as graphics go.

Let's see why the Sony VAIO VPCJ118FX is so powerful and behaves so well in our performance tests. First, the Intel Core i7 620M processor, working at 2.66 GHz (By using the revolutionary Turbo Boost Technology can go up to an incredible speed of 3.33 GHz) on an L3 cache of 4 MB, is definitely a winner! It is one of the best processors available on the market today and scores very high in user ratings. Next, the 6 GB of DDR3 installed RAM memory, working at a nice frequency of 1066 MHz, is great! Although we would have expected more, users can always upgrade to the maximum cap of 8 GHz. And last but not least, the 7200 rotations per minute (RPM), 500 GB Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk drive, offers its users more than enough space at a reasonable speed. We always dream of those 10000 RPM hard drives, but that is only a dream considering the Sony VAIO VPCJ118FX price range.

There are also some great features included in the Sony VAIO VPCJ118FX all in one desktop, like the built in camera and microphone with which users can enjoy the fun face tracking technology, Memory Stick PRO (both Standard and Duo technologies are supported) media slot that has the innovative MagicGate functionality included, i.LINK connection, Intel High Definition audio sound system, Bluray support (unfortunately only read-onlyBD-ROM), and wireless QWERTY keyboard. Let's not forget the useful free software you get with your new laptop: Norton Internet Security 2010 anti virus with 30 days free trial, Microsoft Windows 7 Home operating system on 64 bits, and Microsoft Office 2010 Starter for your office needs.

All in all, the Sony VAIO VPCJ118FX makes it in our top 10 all in one desktops, clearly differentiating itself from many of its competitors. We find the balance of power, versatility, speed, and functionality one of the best so far!
