| | |  | | The VAIO® AR notebook combines the convenience and portability of a notebook with the power and performance of a desktop. Featuring a full-sized keyboard and a spacious 17" widescreen1 LCD coupled with up to 4GB9 of RAM and an NVIDIA® GeForce® 8400M or 8600M graphics card, this multimedia powerhouse is the perfect productivity and multimedia companion. And with a stunning LCD, the massive widescreen delivers the ultimate viewing experience in brilliant color and razor-sharp definition.
| | | | | | | | Select VAIO® AR notebooks are powered by Intel's hafnium-based processor technology. Hafnium, a unique metal with extraordinary insulative properties, acts as an insulator to the chipset to prevent electrical leakage. This revolutionary technology conserves power, resulting in increased energy efficiency, faster wireless networking and amazingly quick system responsiveness — ideal for all your productivity and multimedia needs. To complement this power, built-in 802.11n wireless LAN technology2 keeps you connected with greater performance, range and reliability than ever before.
. | | |  | | | | |  | | Select VAIO® AR notebooks feature Blu-ray Disc™ technology, and you have two ways of utilizing this cutting-edge entertainment and storage technology. Choose the Blu-ray Disc optical drive for HD video playback3 and up to 50GB of data storage to a Blu-ray Disc media4 — that's 5 times the capacity of a standard DVD. Or choose the Blu-ray Disc ROM drive to enjoy HD video play back only. Both Blu-ray Disc technology-enabled drives also deliver the read/write utility of a CD/DVD drive6. And since select AR notebooks feature an HDMI™ output, you can view all your HD video and audio content, including your Blu-ray Disc movies, in full 1080 HD on your compatible hi-def TV8. (HDMI cable sold seperately)
| | | | | | | | With a high-gloss piano black exterior and Sony's top-of-the-line XBRITE-HiColor™ LCD technology, select AR notebooks feature a full 1080 HD 17" widescreen LCD1 that lets you watch and display your media in the same crystal-clear resolution found among the best hi-def TVs. What's more, with the optional TV tuner with CableCARD™ support, you can watch analog TV, digital TV and premium subscription-based cable HD content on your PC, or record it all directly to the roomy hard drive for convenient on-demand viewing5.
. | | |  | | | | |  | | The VAIO® AR notebook comes pre-installed with Windows Vista® Business - the definitive choice for your business today and tomorrow. A stunning and simple new user interface lets you easily find, use and share information. Powerful safety features provide you with a safer computing experience and help protect your critical data. Mobile computing enhancements allow you to stay connected with your business and customers whether you're in the office or on the road. And as your business and technology needs grow and change, Windows Vista® Business can grow with you, providing a great return on your investment. Windows Vista® Ultimate and Windows Vista® Home Premium also available.
