Amazon.com Product Description
With inviting textures and calming colors, the slim, travel-ready Sony VAIO NW laptop brings together stunning imagery, access to all your multimedia, and excellent productivity in an affordable package. This model (VGN-NW160J/S) has a fabric-like exterior in silver rattan that's enhanced by a texture of gently undulating waves. But more than just a stylish accessory, the VAIO NW offers powerful computing resources with an Intel Core 2 Duo and a high-definition 15.5-inch widescreen XBRITE-ECO display that's great for multitasking as well as watching your favorite downloaded movies and TV shows on the go.



The Sony VAIO NW in silver rattan with textured cover composed of gently undulating waves (see larger image).


The isolated keyboard makes typing comfortable and precise, and the Display Off button helps conserve energy (see larger image).
The extra-wide, theater inspired 15.5-inch display uses Sony's XBRITE-ECO LCD technology so you can see deeper blacks, brighter whites, true-to-life color and razor-sharp detail from almost any angle--a great match to the Blu-ray Disc optical drive (read-only), which lets you play high-definition Blu-ray Disc movies in crystal-clear resolution. You can also make your own using the dual-layer DVD±RW drive (with CD burning capabilities) and included Sony Movie Story software--just choose the supplied template and professional-looking cutaways, cross-fades and soundtrack syncing are automatically done for you. And with the HDMI A/V output, you can connect the VAIO NW to a compatible HDTV to display your creations to a larger audience.

It's powered by the 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 processor, which boosts speed, reduces power requirements, and saves on battery life. It also offers a fast 800 MHz front-side bus speed and 2 MB L2 cache. It also includes Intel's 5100AGN wireless LAN, which will connect to draft 802.11n routers and offers compatibility with 802.11a/b/g networks as well.

A built-in 1.3-megapixel webcam (with integrated microphone) lets you join in on video conferences as well as make long-distance VoIP calls. Tackle virtually any graphics requirement with the ATI Mobility Radeon HD4570 graphics card featuring 512 MB of dedicated VRAM. Other features include a 320 GB hard drive, 4 GB of RAM (8 GB maximum capacity), ExpressCard 34 slot, Gigabit Ethernet, both Memory Stick and SD card readers, and pre-installed 64-bit version of Windows Vista Home Premium (SP1).

This Sony notebook is Energy Star certified, and is RoHS-compliant, effectively reducing the environmental impact by restricting the use of lead, mercury and certain other hazardous substances.

15.5-Inch High-Definition Display

You'll enjoy razor-sharp graphics and widescreen movies with the 15.5-inch WXGA high-definition screen, with its 1366 x 768-pixel resolution. The XBRITE-ECO technology (with LED backlighting) delivers brilliant colors and stunning clarity with efficient power usage, and it features an anti-reflective coating to minimize reflection and ensure a beautifully clear image from any viewing angle.

Video is powered by the ATI Radeon HD 4570 graphics card, which provides 512 MB dedicated graphics memory and up to 2280 MB as allocated by the Windows Vista operating system. ATI Radeon HD 4500 Series GPUs boast up to twice the performance of the previous generation of GPUs and deliver a cinematic gaming experience--as well as optimal performance-per-watt and break-through efficiency. The intelligent power management delivers the power needed to run the most intense applications while intuitively conserving energy at idle or when demand is low. And with Vari-Bright technology battery life can be enhanced by optimizing the brightness of the display to save power so you don't have to compromise on performance.


Intel Core 2 Duo Processing Power

The Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 processor has a 2.1 GHz processor speed, fast 800 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and 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.)

With two computational execution cores in a single processor, it provides greater system response when running multi-threaded applications simultaneously with no significant increase in power consumption. It's optimized for multitasking and is ready to support the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. It can simultaneously run multiple demanding applications--such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching business productivity applications--while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background. Some of the advanced Intel innovations of the Core 2 Duo processor include:

  • Smart Memory Access: Improves system performance by hiding memory latency, thus optimizing the use of available computer data bandwidth to provide data to the processor when and where it is needed.
  • Advanced Digital Media Boost: Effectively doubles the execution speed for instructions used widely in multimedia and graphics applications.
  • Dynamic Power Coordination: Coordinates Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology and idle power-management state (C-states) transitions independently per core to help save power.
  • Deeper Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing: Saves power by flushing cache data to system memory during periods of inactivity to lower CPU voltage.


Windows Vista Home Premium Operating System

Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit version) is the operating system for users with advanced computer needs, and it includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center for watching DVD movies and accessing your digital audio library. You can also use Windows Media Center to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV) and to access new kinds of online entertainment content. Computers that include Windows Vista Home Premium and an auxiliary Windows SideShow display will also allow you to access key data even when your computer is off. It is also easier than ever to share files between other PCs in your household and to manage your laptop computer settings to more securely connect via Wi-Fi.

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.
