Windows 7 is designed for faster and more reliable performance, so your PC just works the way you want it to.
It's powered by the 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 processor, which boosts speed, reduces power requirements, and saves on battery life.

Make your own movies using the dual-layer DVD±RW drive (with CD burning capabilities) and included Sony Movie Story software--just choose the supplied template and professional-looking cutaways, cross-fades and soundtrack syncing are automatically done for you.
