Vibrant Multimedia Bring the latest Blu-ray movies to life with NVIDIA® PureVideo® HD technology. Sharp images, smooth video transitions, and vibrant colors are reproduced on screen using very little power.   HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first and only industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. By delivering crystal-clear, all-digital audio and video via a single cable, HDMI dramatically simplifies cabling and helps provide consumers with the highest-quality home theater experience. HDMI provides an interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV), over a single cable. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel, 192kHz, uncompressed digital audio and all currently-available compressed formats (such as Dolby Digital and DTS), HDMI 1.3 adds additional support for new lossless digital audio formats Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™ with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements.   Processor Intel® Core i7, Core i7 Extreme Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285M, 480M or Quadro FX 3800M graphics Display 17" WUXGA (1920x1200) with GlassView LCD Active Matrix Display Memory 6GB DDR3 1066/1333MHz SDRAM Expandable to 12GB Hard Drive Up to 3 SATA Hard Drives Optical Drive Super-Multi Drive Upgrade to Blu-ray Reader/Burner Battery 12-cell Lithium Ion Battery Weight 11.8 lbs. with Battery Warranty and Services 1 Year Premium Parts warranty and 3 Year labor Accidental Protection Optional 3 Year Accidental LCD Damage Protection for $95
