Stylish VAIO

Pros: Extremely stylish, even beautiful all-in-one solution for those who want a low wires, low maintenance answer for their everyday computing needs. Lots of features for a price not found in the big box stores (if bought from Newegg). The screen is large and very vibrant and colorful. A decent amount of graphics power with the GeForce 8400. Included Media Center controller, TV-inputs (standard antenna and HD coax ports) for viewing and recording television, built-in webcam works nicely, keyboard/mouse combo is stylish and functional, the back is thin, can be mounted on the wall if desired, very quiet, good amount of RAM, would be nice if the CPU could pump a little faster but it is still more than many will ever need, built-in wireless (even N-standard!), PC-card, SD, and Sony memory stick ports, nicely-sized primary hard drive, and another standard SATA drive can be added in discretely and hidden in the top section behind the screen! Windows Vista looks GREAT on this PC. Solidly built.
Cons: No standard PC video out (not a huge con), lots of crapware pre-installed (annoying to have to uninstall it all but not too hard to get done),
Overall Review: Perfect solution for someone who wants to lose the wires and keep their office in style while gaining the benefits of a huge screen. Looks like something out of Minority Report.
Could be better...

Pros: Gets the job done with basic PC use and gaming. Fairly comfortable but not great. Wheels roll nicely.
Cons: Terrible RF range. Won't even reach from a USB port on the back of my mid-tower case in my desk, which causes horrible tracking issues, especially in games. I have to plug in the transmitter in the front of my case which means I cannot close the glass door. No adjustable signal strength.
Overall Review: Look elsewhere unless you are using a laptop, extremely close-proximity PC case, or just want good functions for standard/basic computer use. Apparently when I bought this mouse I mistook it for the G9 gamer mouse.
Great piece of hardware

Pros: Small size, powers/reads/writes via single USB 2.0 cable, great performance for such a physically small drive.
Cons: Glossy plastic is a fingerprint/scratch magnet. Why do they make things in shiny plastic? Matte surfacing makes so much more sense!
Overall Review: USB 3.0 is on the horizon for super-fast transfer speeds, especially for hardware like hard drives. If this is a "just because" purchase for you, you might consider waiting a few months for the improved tech.
Excellent

Pros: Beautiful, solid, perfect size, stylish, great to type on, useful hotkeys (volume, etc), great backlighting, again it just looks and feels cool.
Cons: If I had to say something, I would say it seems to bow down slightly in the middle, but easily fixed with a folded sticky note or something to stabilize it better. Not a big deal.
Overall Review: Replaced my Logitech G11 gamer keyboard with this one and not regretting it at all. The G11 was just way too big and I didn't really ever use the extra hotkeys or slow USB ports anyway. This keyboard feels roughly like a laptop ketboard, but more solid.
Does its job for the most part...

Pros: Looks good, reliable, black bezel, decent speed, quiet, etc. Seemed to read some but not all floppy disks.
Cons: No practical cons.
Overall Review: This is probably the best option if you are looking to buy a floppy drive. I bought this on newegg.com.
Decent...

Pros: Pretty good for the price, although when I purchased it, it was only 9.99 and since then the price was raised. Contains a good variety of PC tools.
Cons: The screwdriver head-holder broke after only less than an hour of use, the main tool head no longer holds firmly the changeable screw driver heads... they will now fall out if the tool is held upside down. Also the provided screw driver heads are very strong and tend to strip the heads of screws if extreme caution is not used.
Overall Review: Good for the price, but not the most reliable thing around.
