Wow, that's one of the worst deals I've ever seen...

1st, if you want any old computer for gaming, there are MILLIONS of better choices than this. You can build one for much cheaper. Hell, you can pay just about anyone here half that price and we'll be more than happy to do it for you.

2nd, if you really want the all in one PC setup, try looking up the MSI Wind Top. The new AE2200 model is actually comparable to that except for screen size at a fraction of the cost.

you should just get a mac dude...throw on bootcamp youll be happy you switched

For being elite in everything else, they sure did skimp on the video card.

Thanks for all the input guys. I now decided I'm going to get an alienware computer. I'm just going to miss the tv part with the DVR

Got one in mind? Post a link if you pick one out.

You really want to throw your money away dont you? Yes Alienware does put more engineering into their computers and some higher quality parts, but overall it's a waste of money.

Go with a Dell or HP desktop.

You are crazy if you buy comp for over 800€..
I got my laptop for 800€ few years ago and it still runs everything.

Not trying to be offensive to the vgchartz posters, but most of them have provided you with a lot of useless opinions with no real solid reasons.

Here are the reasons I think this computer is a bad choice for gaming:

1) The graphics card is a 9500M GT.  Money could be better spent getting a better graphics card.

1a) From the pictures I received upon googling the card, It indicates to me that the card is non-removeable/not-upgradeable.  This is bad for future upgradability.

Notice that the only pictures of cards are the actual 9500 GT, which is different.  The 9500M GT is a 'notebook' graphics card and those tend to be non-removeable. 

1b) A 9500 series card for Nvidia is some-what midrange.  Good for decent graphics, but not made for intense video games.  

This chart compares graphic card performance: http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/gaming-graphics-cards-charts-2009-high-quality/3DMark06-v1.1.0-3DMark-Score,1468.html

The 9500M GT is a bit more powerful than the 8600 GT, but not as powerful as the 8800 GT.  You can see those are towards the bottom of the chart.

2) The computer system is integrated into the monitor.  This computer's purpose seems to have been geared around playing blue-ray on the monitor, which this system would excel at.  However, there is a trade off with cooling and non-standard parts compared to a tower based PC.

Here is a more detailed list of the computer's specifications: http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/sony-vaio-vgc-rt150y/4507-3118_7-33240538.html?tag=mncol;psum

If you have any more specific questions, fire away.

edit: I re-read the above posts. Perhaps the "most of them have provided you with a lot of useless opinions with no real solid reasons." was uncalled for.

Yeah but they look so badass

I think alienware could be a great choice if he doesn't want to build his own and has the cash, they are owned by dell i believe, so i would think they would have the same great support but i think the alienwares are geared for gamers. If they have one with a tv tuner card that will act as a dvr, and if not you can add one easiley to a pci slot for around 150 for hd.
