Looking for the ultimate desktop replacement with multimedia features thatll keep all the family entertained?
Well luckily enough, we have that very laptop in the form of the 7730 and all for a price that will beat the credit crunch.
Boasting a lightning fast Intel Core 2 Duo processor running at 2Ghz, the 7730 relishes multi tasking, which to you and me means downloading the latest music off iTunes while the kids finish off their homework will be a breeze.
The 4GB of RAM included is more than enough to cope with the demands of Vista while the massive 250Gb hard drive has enough storage space for all the families music, videos and photos.
Not only that, the crystal clear high resolution 17" screen shows images with vibrant clarity that will bring your movies to life.
Add a Crystal eye webcam, built in Stereo speakers, microphone and a 5 in 1 card reader and you have a machine that does it all.
