The Vaio VGN-AR70B laptop has a 17-inch widescreen LCD (liquid crystal display) panel with 1,920 pixels by 1,080 pixels resolution, so it can show high-definition content at full quality. The Vaio VGN-RC729DP desktop includes a digital TV tuner and will be sold with or without a 19-inch LCD monitor.
The drives in both computers can read and write to Blu-ray Discs. A single-layer Blu-ray disc can store 25GB of data, or about five times that of today's DVDs, and can be used to store both computer files and video. In Japan, Sony is bundling software with the machines that can record digital HDTV broadcasts to the hard disk and later copy that content across to a Blu-ray Disc.
