Key Features

• Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5500: The Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5500 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.

• Windows Vista Home Premium: The computer comes preloaded with the Windows Vista Home Premium operating system from Microsoft. Vista includes the slick Aero user interface, complete with the Windows Sidebar, gadget support, Flip3D navigation and more. The Home Premium edition of Vista includes the popular Windows Media Center application. This lets your computer more easily connect to your home theater and wirelessly stream media to the Xbox 360 or another compatible media extender device.

• Widescreen Display: The laptop has a 17" high-definition widescreen display that brings your movies and photos to life with amazing color and clarity due to its X-Brite technology. The widescreen display gives increases the width of the notebook's display while giving the computer the form factor of a smaller computer, so it takes up less space on your desk or in your briefcase.

• SuperMulti DVD Burner: The computer features a SuperMulti DVD burner. This drive features burning support for all standard DVD formats, including DVD-R, DVD+R and DVD-RAM. It also features full support for dual-layer DVD discs and rewritable discs.

• Home Theater Integration: The computer features HDMI and S/PDIF outputs. This lets you turn your laptop into a media center computer, allowing it to interface with the latest HDTV and surround sound systems. Standard S-Video and analog outputs are also there, allowing you to connect the laptop to almost any television.

• 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.

• nVIDIA GeForce Go 7400 Graphics: The nVIDIA GeForce Go 7400 graphics deliver 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.

• Digital Photo Import and Organization: The built-in card reader lets you easily download your pictures from Secure Digital and Sony Memory Stick memory cards without the hassle of connecting cables between your camera and computer.

• Digital Video Capture: The integrated FireWire port allows you to capture video directly from a digital camcorder to your PC. The included Click to DVD software lets you burn your home movies on DVD for friends and family to watch.
