Back in 2004, Sony released a $2,800 chonker of a laptop. This 9lb slab of XP goodness is a desktop replacement that comes with a whole bunch of media center focused features, like composite video connections and a TV tuner. So today, we're gonna check it out and see what glorious bloatware came with it!
