Features:
Intel Pentium Dual Core Processor T2390 CPU
The Intel Pentium Dual Core Processor T2390 CPU is based on an architecture designed specifically for mobile computing; this processor delivers a balanced level of mobile processor technology and exceptional value in this lighter, easier-to-carry notebook PC. The dual-core technology delivers two execution cores in one CPU, giving you better performance than a comparable single-core processor.
Widescreen Display
The laptop has a 15.4" high-definition widescreen display that brings your movies and photos to life with amazing color and clarity. The widescreen aspect ratio increases the width of the notebook's display and allows the computer to be smaller, so it takes up less space on your desk or in your briefcase.
Intel GMA X3100 Graphics
The Intel GMA X3100 graphics chipset offers realistic 3-D and 2-D graphics, delivering real-life environment and character effects. Movies and digital images are sharply rendered so you can supercharge your business presentations with crisp images and animation.
Integrated Camera and Microphone
The integrated camera and microphone let you easily use the notebook to participate in web video conferencing. This is great for notebook users who participate in net-meetings, as they no longer have to carry a separate web camera with them -- it's built into the laptop.
Digital Photo Import
The integrated 6-in-1 Multicard Reader can be used to download pictures from digital camera memory cards. It supports MultiMedia Card, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, Secure Digital, SD Pro, and xD Picture Card memory formats.
Digital Video Capture
The integrated FireWire port allows you to directly capture video from a digital camcorder to your PC. You'll be able to burn this video as a DVD movie using the included Windows Vista software.
Virus Protection
The included Norton Internet Security software comes with a trial subscription to help you protect your computer from malicious software such as viruses and spyware. This helps to protect your computer when you are browsing the web or reading e-mail.
