The Basics
Processor: The 1.9 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58 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.
Each processing core has a 512 KB L2 cache (for a 1 MB
total), 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 160 GB hard drive (5400 RPM) offers enough
to room to hold a digital audio library of over 26,000 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) 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 4 GB maximum RAM capacity. To receive the faster data transfer
benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory
modules of same capacity and clockspeed.
DVD/CD Drive: 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 features 4x
DVD-R DL Write Once, 2.4x DVD+R DL Write Once, 8x DVD+R, 4x DVD+RW, 8x
DVD-R, 4x DVD-RW, 16x DVD-ROM, 40x CD-R, 24x CD-RW, and 40x CD-ROM
speeds.
This LightScribe DVD+/-RW drive lets you laser-etch
silkscreen quality text and images on to CDs and DVDs . Your software,
PC and discs work together for a no-hassle way to burn just the labels
you want. After you burn content, just flip the disc over, reinsert and
burn your label--anything from a simple title to a full-disc work of
art.
Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a 101-key
keyboard and a touchpad with on/off button and dedicated
vertical/horizontal Scroll Up/Down pad. It also includes two
quick-launch buttons (HP QuickPlay Music and DVD).
Screen, Video &
Audio
While this notebook is actually as wide as standard 15-inch displays,
the high-definition, widescreen 14.1-inch display (1280 x 800-pixel
resolution) has the same form factor as a 12-inch screen--taking up
less space on your desk. Video is powered by the integrated NVidia
GeForce Go 7150 graphics/video card, which provides up to 287 MB of
video memory shared with the system memory. It features NVidia's
PureVideo technology--which provides great picture clarity, smooth
video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for video content--and
full support for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 for stunningly realistic
cinematic effects for all DirectX-compatible applications.
The Altec Lansing speakers provide exceptional sound, and a pair of
stereo earbud headphones with volume controls is included. You'll be
able to privately share enjoyment of multimedia with a friend via the
dual headphone jacks.
Networking, Connectivity
& Expansion
This notebook has an integrated 54g wireless LAN that's fully
compatible with 802.11b/g wireless networks. With the Bluetooth
connectivity, you can communicate and synchronize with
Bluetooth-enabled peripherals such as PDAs and cell phones. It also
includes a next-generation ExpressCard 54/34 card slot (replacing the
PCMCIA slot), which lets you take advantage of thinner, faster, and
lighter expansion cards for even more advanced wireless, networking,
storage, and security features. You get a very good offering of
connectivity options, which includes both super-fast USB 2.0 and
FireWire:
3 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of
peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players
1 FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.Link) port for
connecting digital video camcorders and other peripherals
It also has an integrated 56K modem (V.90) and an RJ-45 LAN
network port (for a 10/100 Ethernet connection to networks and
DSL/cable modems).
Operating System
Windows Vista Home Premium is the operating system for users with
advanced computer needs, and it includes all of the Windows Media

online entertainment content. Computers that include Windows Vista Home
Premium and an auxiliary Windows SideShow display will also allow you
