Sony VAIO JS Priced

Is Sony trying to take on Apple by releasing its new VAIO JS styled after Apple’s computers? Perhaps, but the pricing is almost the equivalent of the 20″ iMacs and will come in two models – the VAIO JS190 and the VAIO JS130 which will retail for $1,499.99 and $1,099.99, respectively.
