Description Sony VAIO 217S is a state-of-the-art laptop for home users for watching and recording TV, viewing DVD movies, listening to music or gaming. The S-Master AV Docking Station transforms this laptop into a true multimedia entertainment system with capabilities normally associated with desktop machines. Its high-quality TV tuner and MPEG encoder lets you watch and record TV, while the Sony own S-Master digital amplifier and specially engineered speakers provide rich, powerful audio. With the docking station, the A217S can fairly claim to be a replacement for your desktop, hi-fi system and VCR. Subtle and continuous ergonomic enhancement is provided by the Auto Luminance Sensor, which monitors ambient lighting conditions and automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen for comfortable viewing and battery saving at home or in the office Technical Details • Dimensions (WxDxH) 40.6 cm x 28 cm x 4.5 cm • Weight 3.9 kg • Mobile Technology Intel Centrino • Processor Intel Pentium M 735 1.7 GHz • Cache Memory 2 MB - L2 Cache • RAM 512 MB (installed) / 1 GB (max) - DDR SDRAM - PC2700 - 333 MHz • Card Reader Yes • Hard Drive 100 GB • Optical Storage DVD±RW (dual layer) - integrated • Display 17" TFT active matrix WXGA+ (1440 x 900) • Graphics Controller ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9700 - 64 MB • Telecom Fax / modem - 56 Kbps • Networking Network adapter - Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g • Input Device Mouse, keyboard, touchpad • Battery Lithium Ion • Average Run Time 2.5 hour(s) • Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition • Manufacturer Warranty 1 year warranty
