Here's a strange beast, indeed: Sony's VAIO RM HD video editing system is high-ish end setup with a writable Blu-Ray drive. With 1TB of storage, 2GB of RAM, a USB jog dial, just one Core 2 Duo processor, and lacking high speed FireWire 800 ports, the somewhat unbalanced setup comes at a very high cost, despites its inclusion of Adobe Premiere 2: $3,500. Coupled with the unconventional design, it's hard to tell just what Sony is aiming for with this system. Is it just a weak push to advance the Blu-Ray format with the inclusion of a writable drive? Anyway, get the full lowdown on Sony's site.
