<!-- google_ad_section_start -->Let's begin. Both of these computers are eye-catching cases of all-in-one desktops, but which machine should you purchase if it's time to replace yours? Sleek? Starting with appeal, the Sony has a plasticky body which is available in several colours and feels vastly fashionable, except the Apple's grand aluminium chasis is in a class of its own.

Monitors The enormous 27 inch display on the iMac looks entirely wonderful, but even though the smaller size of the Sony's 24" screen, the touch-screen practicality is extremely intuitive - it's a difficult decision, but the iMac's big monitor emerges victorious. Specs As the base model, the Vaio boasts 500 gigabytes hard drive and 4 gigabytes of RAM to the iMac's puny 320GB HDD and 2GB of RAM. Clearly these can be expanded at a cost if you have any of it available! The Vaio adds Bluray to the all-in-one arena and is the first to have done it, the Apple brings only dual layer DVD. Green From the tests undertaken, it seems that the Apple is the most efficient all-in-one available to date. The Vaio will cost approximately 25% extra to run than the Apple. Lastly, operation The most important feature to most is the tangible operation of the computers. To settle this dispute the iMac and Vaio went head to head with some multimedia projects. The outcome shows that multi-tasking multimedia duties is more or less twice as fast with the iMac than with the Vaio! To Conclude The Bluray drive on the Sony will provide brilliant HD films, nevertheless at the end of the day HD videos are offered for download from iTunes (on both units) so this drive should never be a major feature in your final verdict. The multi-touch display on the Sony is absolutely pleasurable and handy in equal measures, but the huge 27" screen on the iMac towers above the Vaio. Add this to the enhanced speed, more economical running and the beautiful all-metal case of the iMac and we've got a victor. If you need your next good-looking all-in-one get yourself the iMac!
