  High-tech scribbling with Sony's PC pen

Mousing and typing are fine for most PC chores, but when it comes to graphics, they're a poor substitute for good old-fashioned drawing and scribbling. But until now, the closest you could get to using a pen on a desktop PC was to use a stylus on a pen tablet--not exactly an intuitive skill.

Sony's new VAIO Slimtop Pen Tablet PCV-LX900 is a full-blown Windows PC that bypasses this cumbersome routine: It allows you to write with a stylus directly onto a sleek touch screen that you can either adjust to lie flat or set upright to use with a conventional keyboard and mouse. This terrific feature should appeal to professional graphic artists and photo editors, and thanks to some ingenious software that comes bundled with the machine, it should be a lot of fun for novices too.
