Can you even name 15 different types of memory cards? There?s the NVidia GeForce 8400 GS with 256 MB of dedicated video memory. There?s even a remote with a 16 foot range.

An FM tuner? Sure, they stuffed one of those in there! Plus Windows Media Center and Vista Home Premium so you?ve got an nice entertainment center waiting to go right out of the box. 7.1 Audio.
