It's clear that Sony has leveraged its expertise in notebook building to
create this machine. This fact is highlighted by the inclusion of an nVidia GeForce FX GO5700 graphics chipset. This is a notebook graphics chipset, so Sony has probably built this machine around a notebook motherboard. Adding more weight to this theory is the inclusion of a PC Card slot - something that is particularly useful, especially since this particular model doesn't sport integrated WiFi. The larger 20in model does include integrated WiFi, so it's a bit of a shame that this machine needs a separate wireless adapter.
