With inviting textures and calming colors, the slim, travel-ready Sony VAIO NW
laptop brings together stunning imagery, access to all your multimedia, and
excellent productivity in an affordable package. This model (VGN-NW270F/S) has a
fabric-like exterior in silver that's enhanced by a texture of gently undulating
waves. But more than just a stylish accessory, the VAIO NW offers powerful
computing resources with an Intel Core 2 Duo and a high-definition 15.5-inch
widescreen display that's great for multitasking as well as watching your
favorite Blu-ray Disc movies and downloaded TV shows on the go.
It comes pre-installed with the Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium operating
system (64-bit version), supporting office applications and all the software
programs routinely found in full-size notebooks. Windows 7 is the easiest,
fastest, and most engaging version of Windows yet. Better ways to find and
manage files, like Jump Lists and improved taskbar previews, help you speed
through everyday tasks. Windows 7 is designed for faster and more reliable
performance, so your PC just works the way you want it to.
The extra-wide, theater inspired 15.5-inch display provides deeper blacks,
brighter whites, true-to-life color and razor-sharp detail from almost any
angle--a great match to the Blu-ray Disc optical drive (read-only), which lets
you play high-definition Blu-ray Disc movies in crystal-clear resolution. You
can also make your own using the dual-layer DVD±RW drive (with CD burning
capabilities) and included Sony Movie Story software--just choose the supplied
template and professional-looking cutaways, cross-fades and soundtrack syncing
are automatically done for you. And with the HDMI A/V output, you can connect
the VAIO NW to a compatible HDTV to display your creations to a larger audience.
It's powered by the 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 processor, which boosts
speed, reduces power requirements, and saves on battery life. It also offers a
fast 800 MHz front-side bus speed and 2 MB L2 cache. It also includes Intel's
5100AGN wireless LAN, which will connect to draft 802.11n routers and offers
compatibility with 802.11a/b/g networks as well.
A built-in 1.3-megapixel webcam (with integrated microphone) lets you join in
on video conferences as well as make long-distance VoIP calls. Other features
include a 320 GB hard drive, 4 GB of RAM (8 GB maximum capacity), ExpressCard 34
slot, Gigabit Ethernet, Intel GMA 4500M graphics with up to 1750 MB of available
memory, and both Memory Stick and SD card readers.
