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 i5, i7, i7 Extreme Processors Graphics nVIDIA GTX 285M, Quadro FX 2800M or ATI HD 5870 w/1GB Graphics Display 17.3" Full HD(1920x1080) LED Backlit Wide screen with Glassview Memory 4GB DDR3 1333MHz SDRAM Expandable to 8GB Hard Drive Up to 2 SATA Hard Drives Optical Drive Super-Multi Drive Upgrade to Blu-ray Reader/Burner Battery 3-Cell LI-Polymer Battery Weight 8.35 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
