The new VAIO all-in-one's are actually quite ugly compared to the older models. My boss had this one and it was really, really pretty:


I regret not buying one. It was going for less than $1,000 on Amazon before it was discontinued.

Wall mounting the iPad is probably easier as I'm sure there are probably already accessories for that.
You know, the conversation never got much farther than, "No. I'm an accountant for god's sake." lol!

Now that you mention it, the framing could get rather involved. But knowing his contrary self he'd be ok with cutting a hole in the wall (if it ever got finished would be up in the air).

And that old Sony is really nice! It'd look great with stainless steel appliances. *sigh*

Where would I find one? (2nd hand, of course. :-)
