Amazon.com Product Description

Being the priciest and most capable model in Averatec's upscale 5110 roster of mobile computers, the Averatec 5110P Notebook PC delivers all the perks of the other two 5110 models plus upscale amenities such as DVD burning and Microsoft's beefy Windows XP Professional Edition operating system. Lightweight and versatile, the Averatec 5110P is a smart alternative or those who value portability, strong general performance and modern accoutrements over devastating speed.

Like all 5110 series machines, the Averatec 5110P measures just 12.9 by 10.75 by 1 inches and tips the scales at a mere 6.3 pounds with standard battery attached. It is thusly an excellent choice for those who must carry their notebook with them on their daily journeys.

The unit brandishes Intel's new Centrino technology. Centrino refers to a triumvirate of interconnected elements -- an Intel Pentium-M CPU (in this case a midlevel 1.3 GHz model), an Intel 855 chipset, and an Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 network connection -- all of which work together to make your notebook fast, lightweight, battery-efficient and wireless-capable. Averatec has added a generous alloent of 512 MB DDR SDRAM main memory to help with your multitasking and an Intel 855GM graphics controller with 64 MB of shared (not dedicated) memory. Though dedicated video memory would be preferred for applications such as 3-D animation and 3-D games, 64 MB shared memory is adequate for most standard 3-D apps.

The Averatec 5110P features a midsize 40 GB hard disk on which to store your important data and a DVD-RW/CD-RW drive through which you can play and burn audio CDs, archive data, play DVD movies and transfer video to long-lasting DVD media. You'll monitor your activities on a large 15-inch XGA TFT display capable of respectable 1024 by 768 resolution, and listen to your tunes via built-in stereo speakers.

For such a small and affordable notebook, the Averatec 5110P is well connected. Communication options include integrated 10/100 Mbit LAN for fast networking and Internet access, a 56K modem for slower dial-up environments and 802.11b wireless for those times when you can't plug in. Other important amenities include three fast USB 2.0 ports for data streaming with external devices such as scanners and digital cameras, an IEEE 1394 FireWire port for high-speed downloads from digital camcorders, a Type II PC Card CardBus slot, and an 88-key full-sized keyboard with 12 one-touch function keys.

Aside from Windows XP Professional Edition, the mediocre software bundle includes Microsoft's Works 7.0 productivity package and the PowerDVD XP DVD player. Time between charges is estimated at an admirable five-plus hours with the enclosed 8-cell Smart Li-ion battery. ... Read more

A REAL WINNER!
I am actually shopping for one more of these beauties to give to the person I originally bought it for. I grab for this one before I reach for my Sony Vaio (believe it, or not) since I find it totally user friendly and I love that I can, with the built in software and the BUILT IN DVD RECORDER and CD-Rom burner, make disks for everything I need. The Sony only has a CD-Rom burner, so I have to have a separate DVD Recorder to transfer videos. Anyway, I bought the Sony first, and the Averatec for one of my employees, and here I am, clinging to the Averatec! ... Read more

Amazon.com Product Description

Stylish and utterly professional, the Sony Vaio PCG-V505EC is a lightweight, easily portable notebook PC--only 4.39 pounds--that's geared for business and mobility. Thanks to the Intel Centrino processor (1.4 MHz) and its robust 4400 MaH battery, you'll keep you productive even on long flights. It features Windows XP Professional, 54g wireless connectivity, a whopping 80 GB hard drive, 512 MB of installed RAM, a DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo drive, and 32 MB ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 video/graphics card.

The Basics

• Hard Drive: The spacious 80 GB hard drive offers more than enough storage for both your work and home files as well as a multimedia library.
• Processor: The 1.4 Ghz Pentium M processor is considered at the middle of speed range compared with other Centrino notebooks (with current speed topping out at 1.7 GHz). Because of itsdesign, the Intel Pentium M gets more done per clock tick than a Mobile Intel Pentium 4, thus providing the discrepency in GHz measurement (i.e., 1.7 versus 3.2). The Pentium M processor is designed specifically for low-power mobile usage, and it features the latest in power-saving technologies--ensuring you push your battery and productivity to the max. It has a front-side bus (FSB) of 400 MHz and a 1 MB L2 cache.
• Memory: The 512 MB of built-in memory (DDR SDRAM) is a good start for power users. It has two memory slots in total, with a maximum memory expansion up to 2 GB (2 x 1024 MB).
• CD/DVD Drive: It comes equipped with a combo DVD/CD-RW drive, which enables you to play DVD-ROM discs and DVD movies as well as burn data and record music to CD discs. The CD-RW drive has 24x write, 10x rewrite, and 24x read speeds. The DVD-ROM has an 8x playback speed.
• Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a standard 85-key keyboard and electro-static two-button touchpad.

Connectivity and Expansion Slots
This PCG-V505EC model has an integrated 802.11g wireless LAN (which is compatible with the more widespread 802.11b and offers faster data transmission rates). You get a decent--but not overpowering--offering of connectivity options, including both high-speed USB 2.0 and FireWire:

• 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) ports for connecting digital video camcorders and other peripherals
• 1 RGB monitor port
• 1 PCMCIA (or PC Card) slot (Type I/II)
• 1 headphone jack and 1 microphone jack
• 1 Memory Stick slot (Memory Stick Pro compatible)

Preloaded System and Software
This PCG-V505EC comes with the Windows XP Professional operating system (which adds Microsoft's IIS Web server, back-up and recovery utilities, Remote Desktop, and other enhanced business features), and it features Microsoft Works (for working with word processing and spreadsheet documents). It also is loaded with a bevy of Sony multimedia software: PictureGear Studio (digital photo) and DVgate Plus (digital video). Other preloaded software includes Microsoft Money and Encarta,InterVideo WinDVD, and Norton Internet Security Center (with 90-day subscription).

Dimensions and Weight
Measuring 1.4 x 10.9 x 9.5 inches (H x W x D) and weighing just 4.4 pounds, the PCG-V505DC is easily portable.

Power
The included rechargeable lithium-ion 4400 MaH battery offers battery life range of up to 6 hours (depending on usage).

What's in the Box
This package contains the Sony Vaio PCG-V505EC notebook PC (model PCGV505ECP10), rechargeable lithium-ion battery, AC adapter, and operating instructions. It's backed by a 1-year warranty for parts and labor, and 90 days of phone support. ... Read more
