Sony has launched their new Vaio VGC-V25 all-in-one multimedia PC to not much acclaim at all. The new Viao isn't the strongest kid on the block, due largely to Sony's decision to build a multimedia PC out of laptop parts and run it all on the older Intel 865PE chipset. That'd be fine if it wasn't so damn expensive—it starts at $2k for a machine you can't ever expect to upgrade.

The wireless keyboard that looks as if it's been cleaved whole from a Vaio laptop is, admittedly, pretty rad. I love the form-factor, just not the price.
