Centrino Technology for Maximized Mobile Power

The Intel Pentium M processor is a key component of the breakthrough Centrino technology that also includes the Intel 855 chipset family and wireless LAN (WLAN) capability. Intel's Pentium M processor includes performance enhancements that enable this VAIO notebook to execute instructions faster with less power. The integrated wireless LAN capabilities of Intel Centrino mobile technology gives you easy wireless access anywhere there is an available WLAN access, at home, or around the world. Eliminating the tangles of trailing cables is reason enough to get serious about wireless at home and work. After all, mobility is the main reason for having a notebook, so why would you want to be chained to a wall outlet. Meanwhile out on the road, the number of public access sites continues to multiply. It's estimated that by 2005, WLAN access will be available at 100,000 sites worldwide (estimate by IDC market research firm). With Intel Centrino wireless technology you can check your e-mail at the airport and surf from your comfy chair. Working together, the three components of Intel Centrino technology give the V505DX increased computing power and enhanced stamina while giving you the freedom of true mobility.

More Than Just A Pretty Face

Sony's PCGV505DX also boasts advanced ATI MOBILITY RADEON graphics with 32MB video DDR SDRAM for enhanced multimedia performance and an ultra-slim integrated CD-RW/DVD combo drive for backing up data, burning your favorite digital images & music to CD and watching DVD movies. Plus, there's an i.LINK (IEEE-1394) digital interface and Memory Stick media slot for easy download connection to Sony digital camcorders, digital still cameras and other fun and productive A/V products. Whether you're building a spreadsheet or a slideshow, editing a movie or watching one, the bright and beautiful 12.1 inch XGA LCD screen makes using this notebook very easy on the eyes. In addition to Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition and Microsoft Works, this VAIO notebook includes Sony's exclusive multimedia digital editing software package. PictureGear Studio helps you download images and create your own digital photo albums. SonicStage can assist you with downloading music and creating custom CDs. With the included DVgate software it's a simple matter to connect to your digital camcorder and download video to edit. VAIO Media enables you to share and enjoy your digital music, photos and video over a home network. Even a cursory examination makes it easy to see this notebook's beauty goes all the way to its core.

Get Connected

In addition to the invaluable IEEE 1394 interface, there are many other ways to connect equipment to this powerful little notebook computer. Perhaps you would like to plug in a printer, scanner, optical mouse, digital camera or any number of other digital devices that use USB connections. USB provides plug and play performance and high speed data transfer, and with two USB 2.0 ports built-in, this notebook is prepared to interface in a heartbeat. An RJ-11 modem jack and RJ-45 Ethernet connection are also available to assist with your communication needs. You also have the benefits of a VGA output for connecting to an external monitor, a microphone input and a stereo headphone jack for your personal listening pleasure.

Burn, Baby, Burn

This little gem of a notebook includes a CR-RW/DVD-ROM drive to provide numerous entertaining (and empowering) possibilities. For example, after downloading MP3 files to your computer, you can compile your own playlists and create custom CDs. With your VAIO's combo drive and included software, burning CDs is a blast. When you're done listening to and/or manipulating your music, you may want to drop a DVD into the drive and view a movie on your notebook's 12.1 inch XGA (1024 x 768) TFT display. Since there is a lot more to life than just work, there's a lot more to this computer than just computing.
