Notebooks are the perfect solution for the user who is on the go and looking for instantaneous information or computing. Today's most advanced notebooks come equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology, Ethernet, high-end audio, and power management tools for extended battery life. On-board thermal management systems maximize the performance of the CPU and other various components. Trends in notebooks include multi tasking & enhanced battery life, high quality stereo, safety against vibration and data protection during free fall, video quality heading towards High Definition TV. Discrete video processing core offloads the CPU and 3D engine of complex video tasks, freeing the PC to run multiple applications simultaneously, while consuming less power. More compact HDD, with higher capacity, energy efficient AC adaptors able to work under all conditions, and better powers supplies, which reduce weight and last longer.
