VAIO® AR Series Notebook - Premium Model
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T9300 (2.5 GHz, 6MB L2 Cache)
The VAIO AR Series marks another milestone in terms of design and capabilities.
The AR Series is a very powerful mobile computer with features such as high-resolution widescreen, 200GB hard drive, dual-core processor, NVIDIA® GeForce® Go 8600M GT graphics card with 512MB dedicated video RAM., and integrated Blu-ray optical drive,.
The Blu-ray’s 50GB capacity allows for backing up files or recording up to 4 hours of HD video on a single Blu-ray disc. The AR Series is suitable both for home and office.
Powerful Performance
The VAIO® AR notebook is powered by Intel’s incredible new hafnium-based processor, which turns up the speed while curbing energy consumption. The VAIO® AR notebook combines the convenience and portability of a notebook with the power and performance of a desktop.
Sony VAIO’s new AR series reads only two card types. The buttons around the keyboard are scattered in a strange arrangement. The standard models come with only 4200 RPM HDDs, while the premium comes only with 5400 RPM dual HDDs. The flagship model, AR190G, comes with only 1GB RAM. The key feature of AR190G model, Blu-ray, is undoubtedly great.
