Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Though not the smallest Sony portable computer at 13.3 by 10.9 inches and 8.2 pounds, the Vaio NV190 notebook brings true desktop performance to your mobile environment. Whether you're on the job, playing a movie or game, or working with your still photos or videos, the Vaio NV190 may be the only computer you need.

If you want power, you've come to the right place. Fitted with a 1.7 GHz Mobile Intel Pentium 4 processor with 512 KB of Level 2 cache, the Vaio NV190 is ready for virtually anything you can throw its way. To keep data flowing fast and limit hard drive usage, Sony has included 256 MB of RAM and allowed you to expand to a whopping 512 MB. Visual processing is handled by a robust 16 MB 4x AGP ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 graphics chip, which in conjunction with the processor and RAM should capably display any graphic-intensive program aside from high-end, 3-D games.

Sony has equipped the unit with a number of other luxuries not often found in notebooks, including a sizable 30 GB hard disk, an internal CD-RW/DVD drive through which you can play and record CDs and watch movies, and a large, bright 15-inch, high-resolution (1,400 x 1,050) TFT LCD display. You'll listen to music and movies through a surprisingly punchy set of integrated stereo speakers, and perhaps add a subwoofer at a later date via the system's hot-swappable multipurpose bay. The unit's control center features an 86-key keyboard, a center Jog Dial control with back button, and an electrostatic touch pad.

The Vaio NV190 is designed for connectivity and future expansion. To help keep you in touch, the unit features a built-in V.90 modem and an RJ-45 Ethernet LAN interface. To keep you linked with other devices, Sony has included an IEEE 1394 interface for high-speed data transfer, three USB ports for plug-and-play peripherals, a serial "printer" port, headphone and microphone-in jacks, and TV-out and VGA-monitor out ports. An integrated Memory Stick media slot allows you to quickly upload, transfer, and archive digital images and important data.

Your Vaio NV190 will arrive with a wide variety of pre-installed practical and entertainment programs, including Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Microsoft Word 2002, Adobe Photoshop Elements, Quicken 2002 New User Edition, and numerous useful Sony-exclusive audio and video applications.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great computer with lots of power and features., October 8, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Sony VAIO NV190 Laptop (1.70 GHz-M Pentium 4, 256 MB RAM, 30 GB hard drive) (Personal Computers)
This is a super fast computer with tons of features. Great CD/DVD combo drive, lots of HD memory, and super clear and vivid display. What more would you want from a notebook? Interchangeable floppy drive, compact subwoofer, and ten key pad from the removeable bay make this a very versatile computer for business and entertainment. The only drawback is the weight..it weighs more than 8 pounds and is more like 9+ pounds. So, if you don;t mind the weight, then this one os for you. If you need one for travelling or one that is lightweight, forget about this one. You will get tired from carrying it around.

4.0 out of 5 stars Innovative, December 8, 2002
This review is from: Sony VAIO NV190 Laptop (1.70 GHz-M Pentium 4, 256 MB RAM, 30 GB hard drive) (Personal Computers)
The multipurpose bay is really useful. If you don't consider weight an important factor then this is probably an appropriate choice for you, as it is powerful and versatile. I did encounter a few problems during the first few days, but the support that backs the laptop is very helpful and so far the laptop is doing fine now. If you are looking for a mobile wireless peripherial, this is perfect because it has a mobile pentium four processor and integrated 802.11b wireless so you don't need to buy a card. I love being able to access the internet anywhere in the house without any cables. All in all I rate this laptop four and a half stars, great graphics too!
