Sony Vaio LA-Series: Name Stands for Ooh La La

This pretty little Media Center dresses itself up like an old iMac, putting a transparent glass frame around its 19-inch screen. (It could be plastic, or crystal—we can’t tell from our stalking-distance photo.) I’ve always thought all monitors deserved a beautiful border like that. Just so I could muddle it up with post it notes,…
