Sony VGNNW270FS 15.5" widescreen VAIO 320GB silver laptop with Blu-ray

Packed to the hilt with features

Packed with special features, this VAIO's mainstay is really its powerful stock of computer basics &mdash and a lot of them. You'll enjoy incredible performance by way of an Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 processor with 2.2GHz speed and 4 GHz of system memory. And with a 320GB Serial ATA hard disk drive to store your favorite multimedia, important documents and cherished family photos, you have room to roam in just about any software or storage application. With a pre-installed version of simple to use Windows 7 Home Premium, and many of your everyday computer tasks become a virtual piece of cake.

A Blu-ray player in your lap

With a Blu-ray drive capable of reading CD, DVD and Blu-Ray, you'll be able to play HD movies in crystal clear resolution. With CD and DVD read/write functions, you can watch films, play music and burn discs. But what you'll really notice is the upscaled quality of DVDs screened with Blu-ray technology &mdash something that makes it a near-ideal portable entertainment center. Plus, with an HDMI port becoming an increasingly popular laptop feature, you're able to easily connect a laptop to an HDTV for HD movie playback. And with Blu-ray player prices dropping, you don't necessarily need to break the bank to bring home a Blu-ray-equipped VGNNW270F laptop.

The splendor of widescreen

And speaking of media and movies, whether you're into the old black and white classics, like "Marty" or "Woman of the Year," or you simply can't get enough of the the latest "30 Rock" episodes from Hulu, you'll see everything on your extra-wide, theater-inspired VAIO widescreen display. In true HD splendor, the VGN-NW270F displays vivid color and clarity — all on a theater-inspired 15.5-inch screen which offers 1366 x 768 resolution and uses energy-efficient LCD technology. An HDMI output delivers video and audio to external sources via a single cable so you can enjoy HD entertainment on your compatible big screen TV without a myriad of extra cables. (Note: HDMI cable sold separately).
