Its footprint is more space-saving than just about any other personal computer including the hard disk drive, processor and circuitry, battery, speakers, the works, all within its streamlined dimensions. So, when not in use, it’s poised on the counter along with photos of my family. SoundFLOW automatically launches for musical entertainment when the keyboard is closed, while special audio player buttons offer easy control. It also shows the time and calendar so it doubles as a counter-top clock. And with selectable wallpapers, SoundFLOW lets me choose the look that matches my room’s interior or my mood. Open the keyboard and I can use SoundFLOW in mini player mode so I can listen to music while using the computer for other purposes. When friends come over and ask me where my stereo is, I get a kick out of showing them my VAIO L. Their reaction makes me proud I chose the “Panel PC”.
