Chipset
This system is equipped with the latest Intel chipset technology. Just like what you'd find on a current high-performance desktop workstation, but in a
mobile form factor. There are 4 USB 2.0 ports, a Gigabit LAN port, eSATA, HDMI out, DVI-D, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 1394a FireWire, and an Express Card 54 slot. Add to that configuration a Built-in 4 in 1 Card Reader and the Audio DJ function. The system is based on the Nehalem architecture using a Intel Core i7 or Core i7 Extreme processor, making it the world's fastest notebook computer. What does this mean to you as a video professional? It means that you can have the power of a desktop for complex projects, with the portability of a notebook.

Operating System
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit finally opens up the power of your new editing system. All the RAM installed in your system is available for 64 bit apps like
AVID Media Composer 5, Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, LightWave and other 64 bit applications . Even your existing 32 bit applications will benefit, having their own 4Gb space of RAM to themselves (depending on the amount of RAM installed).
AVID products support Windows 7 64 bit, and all future Adobe applications will be 64 bit. NewTek software is all Windows 7
64 bit compatible, as well as the Sony Vegas products. For these reasons will we only offer Windows
XP pro by special order and that will end in the fall of 2010.
Your system is finely tuned to get the most out of your editing hardware and software. If you intend on using your system as a general home or office computer to receive email, play games, etc. then we strongly encourage you to get the Dual Boot configuration. We divide your system drive in half, and install Windows 7 on both sides. This way, you can keep all your office applications separate from the editing application side.
