...memory will reduce the available for RAM. For better performance I would choose 256MB ATI® Mobility™ Radeon® X1400 HyperMemory™. As the Screen is 15.4" 1280x800 or 1440x900, there are about 1 200 000 pixels on your screen. For that amout of pixels ( I think not so many), the ATI® Radeon® X1400 will rock.
I would rather sacrify 1gb of ram and take this Graphic card than go for 2Gb of ram but having an Intel onboard one.
Gaming experience will not able to be maximised, however, you will save lots of money.
Hard Drive : 80gb at 5400 rpm, 100gb at 7200 rpm or 120 gb at 5400 rpm. If I was about to buy this laptop, I would choose to have the 12gb one raher thn the 100gb one. Speed will be reduced, however, you get up to 20 gb more of memory and save £35.25 ( worth for money)
Very portable with 4x USB 2.0 4-pin connectors (non-powered); 2...

...edge LTO tapes have a small spring loaded "door" at the side through which the tape is dispensed into the drive. So unlike your videos, which spool from one side to the other, this is spun out in one long line and then rewound. I could be totally wrong but Fuji and the other manufacturers are a little obscure on this!
Enough of that anyway; what do you do with them?
You copy your ever so precious data onto it. Now I'm willing to bet a penny to an LTO drive that your data isn't worth £3000+. Nope, didn't think so.
But for business it is. Frequently it's worth a lot more than that.
Your average home user will NEVER need this much storage capacity. Each tape has a native (I.E. Uncompressed) capacity of 200GB. Most home PCs don't even have hard drives that big. Compress the data and you can get a theoretical capacity of 400GB. More...
