Default New Sony "iMac" with SACD playback, editing.

... audiophiles can take advantage of the special features offered by Sony’s Sound Reality signal processor chip built into the system.

This can handle Super Audio CD (SA-CD), allowing the JS1 to record, edit and play music at SA-CD quality, and even upgrade older recordings to the new standard.

Sound Reality can up-convert conventional CD-quality music into uncompressed Direct Stream Digital (DSD) format. Using the pre-installed SonicStage Mastering Studio software, the DSD signal can be re-mastered into 5.1 Super Audio CD, revitalising the original.
Design is a blatant rip, but the audio stuff is a somewhat interesting addition to the standard PC feature set.

my mac has 0 buttons, but functionally has 4. The "one button" complaint about macs is just goofy, honestly.

It's been widely reported Sony was consulted in the MacBook design, so that keyboard may have originated there.
