The XL1 Digital Living System consists of two halves: the VGX-XL1A main unit and the VGP-XL1B 200-disc CD/DVD changer. The XL1B is the muscle of the system. You can load 200 CDs into the changer, call up the MCE interface, select the "manage discs"...

Included DVD and CD changer. Wireless keyboard/touchpad combo complements IR remote. More input/output ports than on any other Media Center. 802.11g Wi-Fi

Changer is loud during some operations. Requires HDMI compatible TV for best picture quality. Single SDTV tuner. Smallish hard drive. Only a 90-day Norton Internet Security subscription

Sony VAIO XL1 Digital Living System won't replace your notebook or desktop PC, but it fast approaches Media Center nirvana.
