Description:
One of Sony’s fastest notebooks ever, the Vaio PCG-GRX670 incorporates most everything you could want in a state-of-the-art desktop computer, but in a portable package. Distinguished from the top-of-the-line model of the GRX series--the GRX690--only by virtue of its smaller hard drive (40 GB rather than 60), the GRX670 is otherwise a powerful machine ready to take care of virtually all your business and entertainment needs. At 8 pounds and 14 by 11.5 by 1.8 inches, the GRX670 is slightly larger than some Sony portables. There is, however, good reason for that extra size. Sony has equipped the unit with an enormous 16.1-inch, high-resolution 1,600 x 1,200 UXGA TFT display (the same viewing area as most 17-inch PC monitors). It has included a combination DVD-RW/CD-RW drive through which you can watch the latest motion pictures, burn home movies onto digital media, record and play music compilations, listen to retail CDs, and back up and archive your important files and data. 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 GRX670 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. 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, parallel port, and headphone jack. To ensure you keep in touch wherever you go, the GRX670 features an internal V.90 modem and a 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet interface. Pre-installed software includes Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition and an enormous array of business and multimedia utilities.
