Description:
It wasn’t so long ago that notebook owners were forced to sacrifice performance for convenience and mobility. Now, with products such as the Sony Vaio PCG-GRZ660 notebook computer, power and portability go hand in hand. Sporting a potent 2.4 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor and an impressive 512 MB of DDR SDRAM memory (expandable to a whopping 1,024 MB), the PCG-GRZ660 will effortlessly drive even the most demanding PC-based application. The unit’s 32 MB ATI Mobility Radeon 7500C graphics chipset may have trouble smoothly drawing complex 3-D games and animations but will easily handle everything else. Combine all of the above with a large 40 GB hard disk and a combination DVD-RW/CD-RW drive--through which you can store home movies, watch the latest Hollywood blockbusters, and burn and play audio CDs--and the PCG-GRZ660 becomes a very versatile and capable machine. Measuring 1.8 by 12.9 by 10.7 inches, the unit is of average size. It is, however, rather lightweight at 6.9 pounds with one battery or 7.5 pounds with battery and optical drive. Sony has installed a large 15-inch XGA TFT viewing screen (1,024 x 768 resolution) and integrated stereo speakers to enhance your multimedia experience, and an 86-key QWERTY keyboard with electrostatic touchpad to help you better control your applications. Other useful amenities include a Memory Stick media slot, three USB ports, a super-fast IEEE 1394 port for data transfers from peripherals such as digital camcorders, a 56K modem for low-speed Internet and e-mail access, and a 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet interface for high-speed connectivity. The PCG-GRZ660 is preloaded with a broad array of software, including Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Microsoft Money 2003, Adobe Premiere LE, and an impressive variety of audio, video, and photo utilities.
