If you use a large-sized screen such as LCD or PDP, an A/V receiver, and 5.1-channel speakers, you can convert them into a perfect AV system through an HDMI connection. Therefore, through a simple sync cable connection, you will enjoy high-quality digital video and audio which are excellent in quality and not compressed.
You can play 3D games requiring a high-end system and edit digital video, which are things not easily done on ordinary notebook PCs. Although standard notebooks can play 3D games or edit video, they can't efficiently perform such power-hungry computing tasks. But HD notebooks, which are available now or will be available in the near future, come with dual-core CPU support and are equipped with an excellent fast graphics core.
Having a 1GB memory is more than enough for existing high-end desktop PCs. In other words, you can easily use applications such as Adobe Premiere for editing digital video even while you are on the road.
