Another major advantage is that you can replace the default 80Gb HDD with a fullySolid State Drive of 64Gb to make it virtually shake resistant. An expected 5 hours of backup means you can travel lots with this beauty. Wireless connectivity comes with IEE 802.11n and BlueTooth. The 13.3 inch TFT screen’s resolution is a maximum of 1280 by 800 pixels. Also you have got DVI, VGA, S-Video and Composite video output.
