We searched for this product high and low,
from House of Fraser to Tesco,
no one is selling it, we're sorry to say,
not 416 retailers nor anyone on eBay,
but please don't worry even if it hurts,
you can look for alternatives or

Score 5.0/10Windows Vista.
HD output.
Wireless keyboard
Vista Media Center looks really nice (the main reason I bought this machine)
Windows Vista is bug ridden (especially failing to wake from sleep)
Still speaking to Sony and Microsoft support to get the machine to work.
I wouldn't recommend this to a friend, it has so many problems which still haven't been fixed.
Video judders
Sony are very slow in releasing update drivers.
When using the mouse pad on the wireless keyboard, it keeps triggering mouse clicks.
I would at least wait until Microsoft release Vista SP1 before considering buying this machine.
