Memory
More Info
RAM (Random Access Memory)
RAM is what stores the current data, applications in use and operating system so that the computer can quickly access that information. The more RAM the computer has, the easier and quicker it will be able to operate many programs (including memory intensive programs) at the same time.
The following memory capacities are available for the TZ Series:
Dual
1 GB PC2-5300 (1GB x 1)
2 GB PC2-5300 (2GB x 1)

Hard Drive
More Info
Hard Drive
The following hard drive options are available for the TZ2000 Series:
80 GB* (4200 rpm)
100 GB* (4200 rpm)
120 GB* (4200 rpm)
*GB means one billion bytes when referring to hard drive capacity. Accessible capacity may vary.
The hard drive is where permanent data is stored--applications, documents, all your permanent information. Although disks may be used to store info, they are backups, with the hard drive as the primary storage area. This is different from RAM, which loses its memory when the computer is shut off, and starts anew the next time the computer starts.
Recent computers come with very large hard drives, with the capacity measured in gigabytes. The larger the hard drive, the more data that can be stored - keep in mind that pictures and videos take up a surprisingly large amount of hard drive space.
The number of "rpm"s (or revolutions per minute) dictate how fast your hard drive can spin. Higher rpm means faster read and write times, which mean faster performance in moving files and general system performance.

Engraving
More Info
Engraving
Personalize your Notebook. Everytime you open your Sony VAIO® notebook, you'll see your custom engraved message. With an area that accommodates approximately 30 characters*, you can create your own personal message.
As an elegant touch for a gift or an ideal spot for an inspirational message, the engraving is tasteful and tailored just for you. Engraving also provides an extra measure of security, making it easy to distinguish your notebook from others and deter theft at the same time.
*Actual number of characters that will fit depends on your message, as certain characters take up more space than others. Actual measurement is done when you enter your message in the configurator. If your message is too long, you will see an error message with instruction to edit.
Please make sure your spelling is correct as shown. Engraved notebooks cannot be returned. The 30-day return period does not apply to engraved products. These products may not be returned for refund or exchange unless they contain defects in materials or workmanship or are otherwise returnable under applicable warranty provisions.
Sony's VAIO notebook limited warranty does not cover replacement of engraving. In the event your engraved VAIO notebook receives service under Sony's limited warranty or any extended service plan offered by a third party, use of necessary replacement parts may eliminate the engraving on the notebook.
