It’s only available in Japan and it ain’t cheap, but Onkyo’s Sotec all-in-one PC packs a nice trio of features you won’t find on an iMac (four if you count Windows): a TV tuner, a Blu-ray burner and an iPod dock. More info, specs & pricing after the clicky thingie…

Come on…an iPod dock? Seriously, why is a Japanese A/V company the first to put this on a nice-looking all-in-one PC? Shouldn’t Apple be embarassed by this move? Let me answer that: Yes, they should be. At least as embarassed as they should be for not offering TV tuners or Blu-ray drives (even BD-ROM would be good!) on any of their models.

We found this on newlaunches.com, and what’s funny is that they claim that the only thing worthwhile on the machine is Onkyo’s name…yeah, where exactly? Cuz here in the U.S. I think you’d be hard-pressed to find anybody willing to part with $900 on a computer made by Onkyo, much less $1,900 (the machine’s price as configured with the specs below).
