I am rich brown senior editor for CNET and they're gonna take a look at Sony's 2012 edition of this Vaio L series on one. -- tries to understand things of this PC but overall some of the highlights fall flat which makes it hard to justify paying more for those parts. Particularly when you don't have as much computing powers might get from a similar on one no matter. This is a 24 to on with a touch screen a gesture control system and a built in TV chip. He comes and -- Intel -- -- third generation core I five mobile CPU.

Make -- look entirely different. The -- try to push Syria using this is home entertainment system even further by including a chip from a variety of TV line inside the display that powers the video.

But the problem is the video signal really doesn't look that much better compared to another on one with just -- standard video processor. And infinitely gaining much from -- teacher but you are losing three processing power so if you when he uses as a gaming system as well the home video player is really not the best option. Another feature that's disappointing is the gesture control system it simply doesn't work. You can open up the software settings and play around the sensitivity gives you -- basic tutorial of -- supposed to happen. But then when you actually try to use -- gesture control applications it really is not that responsive if it works at all.
