The Basics
Processor:
The Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 processor has a 2.0 GHz processor speed,
super-fast 800 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and a large 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.)
The Intel Core 2 Duo processor has two computational execution cores in
a single processor, providing 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:
Smart Memory Access:
Improves system performance by hiding memory latency, thus optimizing
the use of available computer data bandwidth to provide data to the
processor when and where it is needed.
Advanced Digital Media Boost: Effectively doubles the
execution speed for instructions used widely in multimedia and graphics
applications.
Dynamic Power Coordination: Coordinates Enhanced Intel
SpeedStep Technology and idle power-management state (C-states)
transitions independently per core to help save power.
Deeper Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing: Saves power by
flushing cache data to system memory during periods of inactivity to
lower CPU voltage.
Hard Drive: The 300 GB Serial ATA hard drive is almost
triple the average size for notebook PCs, however its 4200 RPM speed is
a bit slower than current standard hard drives. It 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 (2 x 1 GB DDR2, PC5300)
is an excellent 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: This Qosmio notebook offers the next
generation of DVD entertainment with the HD DVD ROM optical drive,
which provides the superior image and sound quality of high-definition
images and multichannel surround sound as well as backward
compatibility with standard DVD movie discs and content burned onto
DVD-R/RW, DVD-RAM. It also incorporates a multi-format DVD/CD burner,
which is compatible with dual-layer (DL) discs that can hold up to 8.5
GB of data. It features the following speeds: 2.4x DVD+R DL, 2x DVD-R
DL, 4x for both single-layer DVD+R/-R, 4x DVD+RW, 4x DVD-RW, 3x
DVD-RAM, and 24x/10x 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
TruBrite technology, which makes images brighter and more vivid thanks
to its anti-glare feature. Video is powered by the NVidia GeForce 8600M
graphics card, which provides up to 1023 MB of available RAM/video
memory for unmatched HD video performance on a notebook PC. With
support for Microsoft DirectX 10 Shader Model 4.0 and High
Dynamic-Range Lighting (HDR), the 8400M lets you rip through all of
today's most advanced and cutting-edge games and applications.
Experience real-time photo editing, or immerse yourself in the most
complex, true-to-life gaming environments. You'll enjoy booming sound
from the built-in Harman Kardon speakers with integrated bass reflex
subwoofer.
Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
Be ready for the next platform in wireless connectivity with this
notebook's integrated quad-mode Wi-Fi chip. Based on the draft 802.11n
Wi-Fi specification, it offers up to five times the performance and
twice the wireless range as existing 802.11g wireless. It's also
backward compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found in home
routers and Wi-Fi hotspots) as well as 802.11a networks (which has a
higher throughput, but more limited range--great for closed office
environments). It also includes a next-generation ExpressCard 54/34
card slot (though no standard 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 good offering of connectivity options:
4 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
1 HDMI output (for connecting to a compatible HDTV or home
theater receiver for uncompressed digital audio and video via a single
cable)
Analog video out: 1 S-Video and 1 VGA
1 ExpressCard 54/34
1 headphone jack (1 with S/PDIF digital audio
compatibility) and 1 microphone jack
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
