The Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 processor has a 2.1 GHz processor speed,
fast 800 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and 2 MB L2 cache. (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.) With two
computational execution cores in a single processor, it provides
greater system response when running multi-threaded applications
simultaneously with no significant increase in power consumption. It's
optimized for multitasking and is ready to support the Microsoft
Windows Vista operating system. It can simultaneously run multiple
demanding applications--such as graphics-intensive games or serious
number-crunching business productivity applications--while downloading
music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background.
Some of the advanced Intel innovations of the Core 2 Duo processor
include:
This multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with writing both DVD+ and
DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD±R discs, which can
store up to 8.5 GB of data. It offers the following read/write speeds:
With the Labelflash functionality, you can burn high-resolution,
high-contrast pictures on the label side of DVD discs using the same
laser used for data recording. Enjoy transparency and high-quality not
found in traditional printable media. All you need is a Labelflash DVD
disc to start labeling without a printer.
A 1.3 megapixel digital web camera built into the LCD's bezel lets you
quickly snap photos and participate in live video chats. The integrated
webcam does more than just video chats. It includes Toshiba Face
Recognition capabilities--the ultimate hands-free, hassle-free way to
log onto your laptop. Just show your face to the webcam--no keeping
track of hard-to-remember passwords and no unnecessary typing. And if
you're using one laptop for several users--say for the whole family or
for a small business--Toshiba Face Recognition lets you switch profiles
with one simple look.
