Sony VAIO VGN-SZ730E/C Notebook PC
At only 4.0 lbs with a 13.3" durable form factor, the Sony VAIO VGN-SZ730E/C Notebook PC is rugged, easy to handle and ready to go wherever your business takes you. In addition to this portable form factor, Sony further enhanced the mobility of the SZ notebook by integrating 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless LAN technology. Wireless-N technology offers a massive boost in speed and considerably more range than 802.11a/b/g when connected to wireless LAN networks and compatible hotspots.
Innovative performance features
The Sony VAIO VGN-SZ730E/C Notebook PC maximizes performance by utilizing key technologies to increase productivity and efficiency. A revolutionary Hybrid Graphics System lets you control efficiency and output so you can choose to conserve battery power while, say, working on a spreadsheet. But when it comes time to deliver a big presentation, enhance the graphical output by utilizing the NVIDIA® GeForce® Go 8400M GS graphics chip. In addition, the Sony VAIO VGN-SZ730E/C Notebook PC features XBRITE™ LCD technology with a white LED backlight to deliver brilliant picture quality while making the LCD more efficient.
Security
Security is a top priority with the Sony VAIO VGN-SZ730E/C Notebook PC. The SZ Series features an integrated biometric fingerprint sensor to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information, as well as employs a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) that enables you to set the level of security on a specific client/user basis. And to protect the hard drive, and the data stored on it, against the impact shocks any travel notebook must endure, the SZ Series utilizes G-Sensor™ Shock Protection technology to reduce the risk of data loss due to a damaged hard drive.

3M Privacy
Filters Help You Comply with Federal Confidentiality Laws
3M Privacy Computer Filters help companies comply with federal legislation
requiring confidential personal information be kept confidential. 3M Privacy
Computer filters can help medical facilities (i.e. hospitals, clinics,
health insurance companies, etc.) comply with the Health Insurance Portability
& Accessibility Act (HIPAA). The privacy filters are a simple accessory
to desktop monitors, both LCD and CRT, as well as laptop computers. They
darken the viewable area of the monitor screen when viewed from the side,
which helps prevent the release of confidential personal information that
must be protected. Similar legislation exists for those in the financial
industry. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) places the same restrictions on banks,
finance companies, mortgage companies and credit card companies, to name
a few. They even help with PCI & SOX!

What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range communications technology
intended to replace the cables connecting portable and/or fixed devices while
maintaining high levels of security. The key features of Bluetooth technology
are robustness, low power, and low cost.
Technically,
Bluetooth is a specification for the use of low-power radio communications to wirelessly link phones, computers and other network devices over short distances. The name "Bluetooth" is borrowed from Harald Bluetooth, who was a king in Denmark more than 1,000 years ago
(Computer people choose the strangest names!). Bluetooth technology was designed primarily to support simple wireless networking of personal consumer devices and peripherals, including cell phones, PDAs,
and wireless headsets.

Even The Best Hard Drives Die.
Do You Back Up?
Businesses of all sizes
are witnessing an explosion in the volume of data they hold. Whether it is
the result of the Internet, email, or increasingly heavy and media-rich
application software, there is a massive growth in the volume of data all
around. Conservative estimates place data growth at approximately 80% per
year. Data is increasingly being recognized as one of the real assets of a
company, and losing this data would cause severe damage to any organization.
Data loss can be very costly, particularly for
organizations in the small and medium business (SMB) market where the
difference between survival and closure can rest on the ability to recover
from a disaster. At the very least, critical data loss will have a financial
impact on companies of all sizes:

Data type |
Time to re-create 20 MB |

Sales and marketing |
19 days |
$17,000 |
|
Accounting |
21 days |
$19,000 |
|
Engineering |
42 days |
$98,000 |
The financial impact on a company is a combination
of loss of business, low productivity, legal action, and the cost of
re-creating data. A study showed that the cost of re-creating just 20 MB of
data can be extensive!
Your best solution, is an external drive as a
backup. You can have multiple drives, and it is much easier restore
from a portable external drive, as opposed to CDs or DVDs.

Why Do I Have
Less Drive Space?
Your hard drive may show less space than the published specifications due to
a number of reasons.
- The way size is calculated and
displayed.
- Any "Partitions" on the disk will
change the total in a specific partition.
- Hidden files and folders decrease
available space.
- Compression increases the apparent
size, but not the physical size.
- Drives larger than the OS or Drivers
natively supports.
First, the definition of a megabytes
(or gigabytes) is a unit of data storage capacity measured in 1,048,576
bytes (or 1024KB). The larger the numbers, the more apparent the size
difference will be when listing the size as megabytes (or gigabytes) versus
bytes. Actually, both numbers are correct. The noticeable difference is due
to the 1024KB definition of a megabyte. This is why a 95.3GB hard drive can
also be listed as having 102 billion bytes of total space. Just think
of it as "round off" In the screen shot at right:
The first number is the total number of bytes,
the second number is based on the number of megabytes or gigabytes.
Second, some computers have a
non-DOS hard drive partition that is used for features such as Save to Disk,
Hibernation, or Recovery. This partition is not normally reported by the
operating system, although it can be viewed using a disk partition utility.
This is very common on desktops and laptops. NOTE:
Partition information will be created or
formatted automatically during initial system setup and a system recovery.
Third, by default, all system files
are hidden and cannot be seen. This may adversely affect the reporting of
available hard drive space. You can set your Folder Options so you view
system and hidden files and folders, but do be careful as changes to system
files can adversely affect your system.
Fourth, if you turn on Compression
for a drive, it will increase reported free space and used space, but since
compression is based upon the actual contents, this number is not fixed, but
will change as files are added or changed.
Fifth, older operating systems did
not support some of today's larger drives, so the total space reported may
be much smaller than the drive specifications.
It is also worth noting that bad sectors
are corrected by your operating system and can change the total drive space,
free space, or used space as well.
So as long as a drive is reporting a value
approximately close to the specification value, you can be comfortable that
you received the right drive and that you are getting to correct data
storage. Of course, tuning of your drive's partitions and options can
yield optimal values, but this is not something for the average user to
explore. |

Got Enough
Memory? Bet You'll Need More!
Windows Vista and today's software
applications make much greater demands on your system's memory. Adding
peripherals, like webcams, USB hard drives, and complex Internet pages, all
take memory. Watching DVD movies, or watching videos on the web, or
playing PC based games demand increased memory. So take full
advantage of your system's potential, your operating system's enhancement
and entertainment capabilities, and your software's productivity by expanding
your system memory!The best time to
add more memory is when you buy your system! Get the memory that's
right for your computer, whether laptop, desktop, or All-In-One.

Shared
Memory? Or Where Did My Memory Go?
Your computer uses memory to run your
Operating System, applications, peripherals, and to generate and display
graphics on your computer monitor. Video memory is a form of RAM, and is
either built into your motherboard; or on a graphics card (video card).
Depending on the motherboard's configuration, and that of the video card (if
separate or built-in to the motherboard), your computer may have to draw on
its own RAM memory to meet its video memory needs. This creates shared
memory, where your computer’s RAM will be shared between its own Processor
(CPU) and its graphics chip.
The result is that some systems will have
shared memory, some will not. If you have 2GB (for example) of system
memory installed, you may notice that your system reports significantly less
memory. This is because your system is usin | | | |
