Sony VAIO Digital Studio PCV-R532DS

Sony VAIO Digital Studio PCV-R532DS

what's hot: At $1249, the VAIO Digital Studio PCV-R532DS is the cheapest midrange PC here. The tiny Sony SRS-Z050V speakers produce sound that belies their size. The stylish PC sports a fancy lavender case with silver trim and matching 17-inch monitor.

what's not: The Sony's integrated video chip holds back 3D game performance, and its Celeron-466 CPU helped earn it a mediocre 195 on our PC WorldBench 98 tests. Expansion room is limited to just two open PCI slots and no ISA slots.

what else: Our test unit's monitor generated legible text and colorful graphics. The system comes with two IEEE 1394 ports for fast digital video downloads. Software includes Adobe PhotoDeluxe, Quicken 99, and Microsoft Works Suite 99, Word, and Money.

best use: This Sony's not superfast, but it has fine multimedia features, including DVD and good speakers, for a low price.
