Product DescriptionTake a load off your shoulders when you're racing
for your plane with the sleekly designed and ultra-portable Sony Vaio
VGN-TXN29N/L notebook PC, which weighs just an amazing 2.84 pounds and
offers a super-durable premium carbon-fiber case in slate blue. During
the molding process, a gel coat resin is applied to the carbon fiber
casing, exposing the multiple layers of carbon and providing a cool
brushed look and crisscross pattern. And with 4 to 10 hours of
standard battery life, it has the stamina to power you through your
most demanding applications. With the integrated wireless WAN, you can
access the national Sprint Mobile Broadband service to extend your
wireless coverage beyond LAN access networks and hotspots, giving you
the freedom to go farther, do more, and stay connected.
It also nicely balances form with function, thanks to the stylish,
slim, and durable carbon-fiber casing and razor-thin 11.1-inch
widescreen LCD panel (with XBRITE technology and a white LED backlight
for brilliant colors and added clarity). It's powered by Intel's 1.33
GHz Core Solo U1500 processor with ultra-low voltage for extended
battery life. Other features include a shock-resistant 100 GB hard
drive, 2 GB of installed RAM (maximum capacity), Bluetooth wireless
capability (for connecting to peripherals such as PDAs, cell phones,
and printers), and a Memory Stick PRO reader.
Sony takes security serious, and this laptop employs a biometric
fingerprint sensor to ensure your data is protected from unauthorized
use. Fingerprint biometrics is a convenient and secure way to protect
your computer and the information on it with a simple swipe of your
finger. It also stores passwords to secure web sites you visit, so
authentication and access are quick and easy--you only need your
fingerprint.
The preinstalled Microsoft Windows Vista Business features a new user
interface, named Windows Aero, that makes it easy to navigate through
the operating system and from application to application. For
instance, Windows Aero helps you juggle multiple tasks at once by
providing a three-dimensional, real-time, animated view of all your
open applications and documents. Vista also integrates new search
tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control
features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware
failures.
The Basics
* Processor: The Ultra Low Voltage Intel Core Solo U1500 processor
offers a 1.33 GHz speed paired with a fast 533 MHz front-side bus and
large 2 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores
data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's
performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a
faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.) The
Core Solo processor delivers enhanced performance for today's
demanding applications such as CAD tools, 3-D and 2-D modeling, video
editing, digital music, digital photography and gaming. And Intel's
Smart Cache technology enables smarter, more efficient cache and bus
design for enhanced performance, responsiveness and power savings.
* Hard Drive: The 100 GB hard drive (4200 RPM) is above average in
size for notebook PCs--but larger than you'll find in comparable ultra-
light notebooks. It offers more than enough capacity for storing
documents and productivity software for road warriors. You'll also be
able to store a good-sized digital audio library.
The G-Sensor Shock Protection feature makes your data even less
vulnerable to loss or damage. When the built-in 3-D acceleration
sensor detects a risky movement like being dropped, the HDD-head will
lock up to secure its position and protect the disc from scratching.
An intelligent algorithm, unique to VAIO PCs, judges whether or not a
movement is risky, activating disk drive protection only when your
hardware is at risk.
* Memory: This laptop has two memory slots and comes loaded with 2
GB of DDR SDRAM (PC4200, 533 MHz DDR RAM; 2 x 1 GB), and it maximizes
the RAM capacity for this laptop.
* DVD/CD Drive: The double-layer DVD drive is compatible with a
wide range of formats, including both DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs, CD-RW
discs, and dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can hold up to 8.5 GB
of data--great for backing up your MP3 collection or your most
important documents. It features the following speeds: 4x for DVD+R
DL, 4x for DVD-R DL, 8x for both single layer DVD+R/-R, 8x for single
layer DVD+RW, 6x for single layer DVD-RW, and 24x/16x for CD-R/RW. It
reads DVD-ROM discs at 8x and CD-ROMs at 24x.
* Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a standard 82-key keyboard
(1.7mm stroke and 17mm pitch) and electro-static two-button touchpad.
Screen, Video & Audio
The 11.1-inch XBRITE LCD has a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels--
perfect for watching movies in their intended 16:9 widescreen aspect
ratio. Sony's Smart Display Sensor feature instantly adjusts
resolution when you connect to a display or projector. Video is
powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, which uses Intel
Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) and provides up to 224 MB of
total graphics memory from the system memory. Audio is powered by
Sony's Sound Reality audio enhancer.
Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
This notebook features Sony's SmartWi technology, which seamlessly
integrates wireless Wide Area Network (WAN), office/home Wi-Fi LAN,
and Bluetooth technologies, enabling you to toggle among your wireless
connectivity options depending on your surroundings. The integrated
PRO/Wireless 3915ABG wireless LAN is compatible with 802.11b/g
networks (commonly found in home routers and wi-fi hotspots) as well
as 802.11a networks (which has a higher throughput, but more limited
range--great for closed office environments). With the integrated
Wireless Wide Area Network (WAN) technology, you can extend your
2ireless coverage beyond LAN access networks and hotspots using the
Sprint Mobile Broadband service (subscription required).
A WWAN uses long-range wireless connections -- the same networks as
cellular phones -- to provide access across a large geographic area.
In comparison, a WLAN (wireless LAN) covers only one or more buildings
located close together. On a WWAN, you connect to your carrier's data
network (Sprint, for this laptop) instead of plugging into a phone
jack and dialing into your ISP. Each mobile device communicates with
the public carrier's base station, providing coverage across entire
states, regions, and countries via cell phone towers.
With the Bluetooth connectivity, you can communicate and synchronize
with Bluetooth-enabled peripherals such as PDAs and cell phones.
Here's the full list of connection options:
* 2 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from
digital cameras to MP3 players
* 1 FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.Link) port for
connecting digital video camcorders and other peripherals
* 1 ExpressCard/34 slot
* 1 VGA monitor out
* Stereo headphones/speakers/line-out
* Microphone/line-in
* Memory Stick slot (with MagicGate functionality)
* Secure Digital memory card slot (also compatible with MMC cards)
It also has an integrated 56K modem (V.90) and an RJ-45 LAN network
port (for a 10/100 Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable
modems).
Operating System
The Windows Vista Business operating system is designed to meet the
needs of business organizations of all sizes. For small businesses,
Windows Vista Business will help keep PCs running smoothly and more
securely so you will be less reliant on dedicated IT support. For
larger organizations, Windows Vista Business provides dramatic new
infrastructure improvements, enabling your IT staff to spend less time
focused on the day-to-day maintenance of PCs. An array of
sophisticated new backup technologies helps protect your information
even in the event of a catastrophic hardware failure. And Windows
Vista Business has a new user interface, named Windows Aero, which is
designed to deliver new levels of efficiency for any business user.
This new interface makes it easy to navigate through the operating
system and from application to application. For instance, Windows Aero
helps you juggle multiple tasks at once by providing a three-
dimensional, real-time, animated view of all your open applications
and documents.
Every edition of Windows Vista provides the essential tools and
technologies to help protect you whether you are browsing the
Internet, connecting to a wireless network, or just reading e-mail.
All editions of Windows Vista include new tools that can warn you of
impending hardware failures long before you have lost any important
personal data. And, all Windows Vista editions include parental
control features that allow you to manage and monitor your family's
use of games, the Internet, instant messaging, and other activities.
