Product Details

The Z706, the little brother to the hardcore gaming Z708, is a media laptop with three graphics processors. The Qosmio has an integrated GeForce 9400M GPU, and dual NVIDIA GeForce 9800 M GTS GPUs with 512 MB of RAM. These units interact via NVIDIA’s SLI Hybrid technology. The more powerful GPUs can be disabled while some of the graphics operations are handled by the 9400M unit. This allows users to experience a balance between excellent, yet quiet performance.

The processor is Intel’s Core 2 P8400 2.26 GHz processor with 4 GB of RAM and a 320 GB hard drive (7200 RPM). The 17-inch screen has a native 1680 x 1050 resolution and sports a top-mounted webcam. Other features include a DVD-SuperMulti DL burner (which writes CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R/DVD-RW, DVD+R/DVD+RW and DVD-RAM), a built in Wireless-LAN 802.11b/g/n module, Bluetooth capability, and an ExpressCard Slot.
