Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Most everything you could want in a state-of-the-art desktop computer you’ll find inside Sony’s stunning new Vaio PCG GRX690 notebook. Although slightly heavier (8 pounds) and marginally larger (14 by 11.5 by 1.8 inches) than some Sony portables, the GRX690 nevertheless delivers a feature list that only a year ago was reserved for stationary multicomponent PCs.

Sporting a 2 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor with 512 KB of Level 2 cache, a 400 MHz bus, and 512 MB of DDR SDRAM, the GRX690 is built for speed. Sony has complemented the system’s powerful engine with a 32 MB ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 video accelerator to make quick work of all but the most graphics-intensive 3-D applications and games, and a 60 GB hard drive to ensure enough room to store all your goodies.

Its 16.1-inch, high-resolution 1,600 x 1,200 UXGA TFT display (the same viewing area as most 17-inch PC monitors) is one of the largest of any notebook. Its combination DVD-RW/CD-RW drive allows you to watch the latest cinematic releases, burn home movies onto digital media, record and play music compilations, listen to retail CDs on the integrated stereo speakers, and back up and archive your important files and data.

Sony has packed the system with high-end amenities, including a Memory Stick Media Slot for Memory Stick or MagicGate media, an i.Link IEEE 1394 interface for fast data uploads from devices such as digital camcorders, three USB ports for plug-and-play peripherals, a TV-out, a parallel port, a microphone-in, and a headphone jack. To ensure you keep in touch wherever you go, the GRX690 features an internal V.90 modem for basic Web and e-mail access, and a 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet interface for high-speed surfing and LAN connectivity. Pre-installed software includes Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition and an enormous array of business and multimedia utilities.
