MUSICXPC 1.83Ghz Intel Core Duo 15-In Laptop

The Professional M4 is a dream machine built for speed, durability and mobility. The beautiful, sleek design coupled with the overwhelming power and speed makes this the best friend of the busy music producer moving from studio to studio to home. The Professional M4 runs quietly partly because it is built on Intels Core 2 Duo for more speed with less heat. The machine is specially tweaked for music production and will run large projects in Cubase, ProTools, Sonar, Reason and others like lightning. And you will operate your production schedule with the peace of mind that comes from the industrys best backup and restoration utility. Apart from being a top performer for music software, the M4 is mainstream with everything you would expect like USB 2.0, FireWire, Wireless LAN, PC Card Slot, etc. and other features you may not, like Gigabit LAN, 8X DVD+/-RW and a 3-year warranty. The Professional M4 is a notebook designed for serious music production. It features an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.83GHz CPU, a 100GB 5, 400 rpm 8MB cache hard drive, 1GB of DDR2-667 RAM [expandable to 2GB], a 15.4" WXGA wide angle, non-glare screen that gives you visibility even at off-axis points of view. The M4 comes with a recovery utility that stores the system factory settings outside of Windows XP in a host-protected area of the hard drive. This allows you to restore the M4 to the factory even if the hard drive has been accidentally re-formatted. The M4 has Gigabit LAN to improve workflow and play projects stored on other computers via Ethernet; built in 8X DVD+/-RW burner for archiving and much more. Ultimately, and perhaps most importantly, it is the handiwork of Les Bateman, so you know its going to work perfectly. Intel Core 2 Duo CPU: The Professional M4 is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU running on a 667 MHz front-side-bus architecture. The Core 2 Duo offers breakthrough performances in mobile CPUs that will make most existing desktops look like they are running in reverse. The secret is a revolutionary micro architecture which delivers 2 processor cores that are optimized to run multiple tasks in parallel. The result is more than twice the speed of previous generations and 5 times the speed of a Powerbook G4. Add to that a power consumption drop of more than 28% and you also have a much quieter machine since the smaller, slower fans are needed to assist the heat pipe in keeping things cool. Mother of all Mobile Chipsets: The Professional M4 is built on the brand new Intel 945GM chipset which delivers more performance while drawing less power. In fact, the 945GM chipset draws 28% less power than previous generations. In graphics this chipset delivers twice the performance and enables up to 25% higher data transfer rates. Additionally, it features PCI Express* x16 graphics ports and PCI Express x1 I/O ports, next generation Serial ATA, and Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connectivity. The 667MHz front side bus and support for DDR2 667MHz RAM makes this as fast, flexible and pow
