an all-in-one home entertainment center. In addition to easily playing

The Basics
- Processor:
The 1.9 GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 TK-57 processor offers a dual-core
architecture, which delivers additional computing resources to help
expand your PC's capabilities by providing higher throughput and
simultaneous computing--increasing your performance by up to 80
percent. You'll be able to perform multiple tasks such as digital
rendering and gaming all while running virus scan or other background
tasks seamlessly thanks to the innovative Direct Connect Architecture.
And it's designed to handle simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing with
no degradation in performance. You'll enjoy long battery life thanks to
the AMD PowerNow! power management technology, which delivers
performance on demand and can extend system battery life up to 65
percent. And the AMD Digital Media XPress technology delivers stellar
multimedia performance and playback on digital entertainment such as
games, streaming video and audio, DVDs, and music.
It has a
single 512 KB L2 cache shared between the two cores, and this processor
can deliver up to a 1600 MHz system bus for lightning quick computing
reflexes. (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 120 GB hard drive (5400 RPM) offers enough to room to hold a
digital audio library of over 20,000 songs and still have room left
over for movies, games, and a large collection of software. This Serial
ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed
transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.
- Memory:
The 1 GB of installed RAM (2 x 512 MB DDR2, PC5300) is a good start,
but you'll want to add more RAM to handle today's demanding multimedia
and productivity suites. It provides two DIMM slots and has a large 4
GB maximum RAM capacity. It also offers a top-of-class 667 MHz speed.
- DVD/CD Drive:
The dual-layer DVD drive is compatible with a wide range of formats,
including both DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs, CD-RW discs, and dual-layer
(DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can hold up to 8.5 GB of data--great for
backing up your MP3 collection or your most important documents. It
features the following speeds: 4x DVD+R DL, 4x DVD-R DL, 8x for both
single-layer DVD+R/-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:
This notebook has a standard 86-key keyboard and electro-static
two-button touchpad. It also offers CD/DVD media player and control
buttons (play, stop, next, previous) as well as a volume control dial.
Screen, Video & Audio
This notebook has a 15.4-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1280 x
800 pixels (native 720p for high-definition viewing). It also provides

1200 integrated video/graphics card, which delivers up to 319 MB of
dynamically allocated video RAM shared with the system RAM. ATI's
HyperMemory technology allows the chipset to run in either Unified
Memory Architecture (UMA) mode or with dedicated frame buffer memory to
enhance graphics performance. It also features an integrated audio card
with headphone and microphone jacks.
Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
This notebook has an integrated Realtek 54g wireless LAN that's fully
compatible with 802.11b/g wireless networks. It also includes a

expansion cards for even more advanced wireless, networking, storage,
and security features. Here's the full list of connection options:
