Sony VAIO Digital Studio PCV-R539DS
Sony VAIO Digital Studio PCV-R539DS
what's hot: This stylish lavender PC is armed with accoutrements suitable for graphic artists. A generous 17GB hard disk and a CD-Rewritable drive provide ample space for storing immense digital video files. IEEE 1394 ports enable speedy file downloads from a video camera to the computer. The Digital Studio also comes with a generous software bundle, including video editing tools, a video compression utility, and a program for creating and refining audio tracks.
what's not: Though this 550-MHz system offers plenty of punch for business applications, casual gaming, and video editing, it's the slowest home system on the power list. Our test unit's 17-inch monitor displayed colorful graphics and crisp text but had a limited contrast range. As a result, some of the scenes in our DVD movie playback test looked dark.
what else: Thanks to a well-written (though somewhat basic) manual and labeled, color-coded cables and connectors, setting up this PC is quick and easy. The Digital Studio's small Sony SRS-Z050V speakers sound good, but digital video enthusiasts may want to invest in a more sophisticated audio system.
best use: High-capacity storage and rich digital video features suit this system well for multimedia buffs and for families who'll be sharing a computer.
