Sony VAIO VGP-XL1B3 Media Changer/Jukebox
Posted by Pavan Chander | Filed under Hardware, Media, Review
This awsome device from Sony is a definite must have for the geek in you.
At $100 from B&H, its a steal!
So on to the specs:
- 200 CD/DVD capacity
- CD/DVD writer
- DVD-R: 16x
- DVD-RW: 6x
- DVD+R: 16x
- DVD+RW: 8x
- DVD+R DL: 4x
- CD-R: 40x
- CD-RW: 24x
- FireWire interface, with daisychain support (up to 5 devices - 1000 discs)
- LinuxMCE support
Oh and it weighs 44lbs..
I would have expected a device like this to cost well above $300, and I believe when it came out it was ~$400. I think its going to be discontinued shortly so I’m eager to see what Sony will replace it with. Maybe something along the lines of this. A 400 disc changer, with audio/video output support.
Can’t wait!
For anyone thinking about buying it, and have family in NYC area, I would recomend planning a trip to visit them. As UPS to Oakville, ON costs $90. And customs fees brings the total shipping cost to just over $110, making shipping cost more then product.
