Desktop PCs will soon crop up with Blu-Ray and HD DVD drives in the near future. To start the process, however, Sony is the first company to release a desktop PC with a Blu-Ray drive. CNET got the chance to evaluate the machine and here’s what they had to say:

The good: First Blu-ray burner we've ever seen inside a PC; typically slick VAIO design; HDCP-compliant video card.

The bad: No Blu-ray movies available yet; slow Blu-ray burning speeds; hard to access internal components.

The bottom line: If you absolutely must be the first on the block with a Blu-ray device, the Sony VAIO RC310G is your pick by virtue of it being the first Blu-ray PC to hit the street. Slow burning speeds and the high cost of blank media, however, dampen our enthusiasm.

Sony VAIO RC310G is available immediately for purchase.
