- Processor:
The 2.0 GHz Intel Pentium T4200 dual-core processor delivers additional
computing resources and help expand the PC's capabilities by providing
higher throughput and simultaneous computing. You'll be able to perform
multiple tasks such as digital rendering and gaming all while running
virus scan or other background tasks seamlessly. And its Intel 64
architecture is also ready for tomorrow's 64-bit applications, and
offers enhanced performance through improved virtual memory. Each core
shares 1 MB of L2 cache (for a 2 MB total), and they have an 800 MHz
front-side bus. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data;
and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The
FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus
will deliver better overall performance.)
- Hard Drive:
The generous 250 GB Serial ATA hard drive (5400 RPM) provides more than
enough capacity for storing a large audio and video library, as well as
extra space required for video editing. This SATA hard drive also
quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to
Firewire and USB 2.0.
- Memory: The 2 GB of
installed RAM (PC2-6400, 1 x 2 GB, 2 x 1 GB) is a great start. This
notebook has a 4 GB maximum RAM capacity (2 x 2 GB). To receive the
faster data transfer benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM
additions require memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed.

for backing up your MP3 collection or your most important documents. It
features the following speeds: 6x for both DVD±R DL, 8x for both
single-layer DVD±R, 8x DVD+RW, 6x DVD-RW, 5x DVD-RAM, and 24x/16x for
CD-R/RW. It reads DVD-ROM discs at 8x and CD-ROMs at 24x.
- Keyboard & Mouse:

two-button touchpad. It also offers a launch button for the Express
CD/DVD media player and control buttons (play, stop, next, previous) as

800 pixels (native 720p for high-definition viewing). It also provides

Accelerator X4500M, which uses shared video memory (up to 830 MB
allocated from the system memory) and provides Windows Vista Aero
interface support and enhanced 3D graphics performance--delivering over
2x scores on 3DMark 06. Intel Clear Video Technology provides
outstanding video playback with sharper image quality, increased
clarity, and customizable color controls. It also enables enhanced
visual quality of interlaced content on progressive displays. This notebook also features an integrated audio card and two stereo speakers.

compatible with 802.11b/g wireless networks. It also includes a
