Sony has finally decided to embrace Media Center, placing it at the heart of its latest range of multimedia notebooks and the results are pretty impressive. Sitting in front of me right now is Sony's top of the range multimedia notebook, the VAIO VGN-AR11S. This machine is notable for a number of reasons, like the inclusion of Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition, the implementation of a Full HD compatible 17in screen, but most important of all, the fact that nestling in the left side of the chassis is a Blu-ray re-writable drive."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/3169-1.jpg" /><br /><br />The laptop is a bit expensive at around £1,782.44 but is completely feature rich. And of course, there is the Blu-ray drive. However, I don't quite know why one would go bleeding edge with this laptop yet because there aren't really any apps or movies on Blu-ray disks yet. But then again, it is a re-writable drive so you could create your own.
