Amazon.com Product Description

Access your digital audio library wherever you roam with the HP Pavilion dv1520us notebook PC, which weighs just over 5 pounds and comes with 80 GB of storage space. It features a widescreen, BrightView 14-inch display, which provides improved viewing in direct sunlight, and dedicated external media and menu control allow you to navigate your video and music files quickly and easily. Control playback settings from up to 10 feet away with the included HP remote, then store it conveniently in the PC card slot. You'll keep the party going thanks to the battery-friendly 1.7 GHz Intel Pentium M (Centrino) 735a processor. This notebook also features 512 MB of installed memory (2 GB maximum), built-in 54g wireless connectivity, multi-format/dual-layer DVD burner (with CD writing capability), and Windows XP Home Edition (SP2).

The Basics

Hard Drive: The 80 GB hard drive (4200 RPM) is becoming average in size for notebook PCs, and it's roomy enough to store business productivity applications, all your important documents and presentations, and a good-sized digital audio and video library.
Processor: The 1.7 GHz Pentium M 735a (Centrino) processor is in the lower third of the speed spectrum for this processor class (January 2006). It is well equipped for office productivity software tasks, from complex spreadsheets to databases. The Pentium M processor is designed specifically for low-power mobile usage, and it features the latest in power-saving technologies--ensuring you push your battery and productivity to the max. It also has a large 2 MB L2 cache--which will help speed up your system's performance--and a 400 MHz front-side bus (FSB).
Memory: The 512 MB of installed RAM (PC2700, 333 MHz, 2 x 256 MB) is adequate for running office productivity and audio software, but you'll want to take advantage of the ultra-roomy 2 GB of total RAM capacity (2 x 1 GB) for such multimedia needs as video editing and immersive 3D gaming.
CD/DVD Drive: Offering the latest in DVD writing technology, the dv1520's multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It features 4x DVD-R DL Write Once, 2.4x DVD+R DL Write Once, 16x DVD+R, 4x DVD+RW, 8x DVD-R, 4x DVD-RW, 16x DVD-ROM, 40x CD-R, 24x CD-RW, and 40x CD-ROM speeds. It also comes with a second DVD-ROM optical drive, with 16x read speed. It also comes with an extra DVD-ROM drive for disc playback only.
Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a 101-key keyboard and a touchpad with on/off button and dedicated vertical/horizontal Scroll Up/Down pad. It also includes two quick-launch buttons (HP QuickPlay Music and DVD).

Screen, Graphics and Sound
While this notebook is actually as wide as standard 15-inch displays, the high-definition, widescreen 14-inch display (1280 x 768-pixel resolution) has the same form factor as a 12-inch screen--taking up less space on your desk. Video is powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900, which uses Intel Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) and provides up to 128 MB of shared video memory. The integrated audio card (Realtek ALC250) provides 16-bit stereo sound via the built-in stereo Altec Lansing speakers.

Connectivity and Expansion Slots
The dv1520us has an integrated 54g wireless LAN (Intel PRO/Wireless 2200) that's fully compatible with 802.11b/g wireless networks. You get a very good offering of connectivity options, which does include super-fast USB 2.0 and FireWire:

3 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players
1 FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.Link) port for connecting digital video camcorders and other peripherals
1 VGA monitor port
1 S-Video port for connecting to a TV
1 PCMCIA (or PC Card) slot (Type I/II, 32-bit)
1 headphone jack and 1 microphone jack
1 Expansion Port 2 connector
1 IR receiver

It also has an integrated 56K modem (V.90) and an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10/100 Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).

Preloaded System and Software
This system comes with the Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 operating system with Advanced Security Technologies, which helps to reduce unwanted downloads and pop-ups while surfing the Web. It also comes preloaded with Microsoft Works 8.0 (for working with word processing and spreadsheet documents), HP Image Zone Plus, Symantec Norton Internet Security 2005 AntiSpyware Edition (with 60 days of LiveUpdate), Encarta Encyclopedia 2005, Quicken New User Edition 2005, Microsoft Money 2005, Sonic DigitalMedia Plus, Sonic MyDVD Plus, WinDVD 5 Player Basic, Google Toolbar, and PC Doctor.

The included HP Image Zone Plus photo and imaging software makes it easy to organize, edit, share, print, protect, and store your photos and video clips. Organize and find your photos easily by timeline, keywords, and/or location using the unique photo-globe mapping tool. Remove red eye and fix other common problems. Share your photos quickly via e-mails that include thumbnails with links to the full-sized images--without downloading time-consuming attachments.

Dimensions and Weight
This notebook PC measures 13.15 x 9.24 x 1.52 inches and weighs 5.33 pounds.

Power
It's powered by a 6-cell rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which has a battery life of up to 3 hours (depending on usage). You'll get up to 8 hours of battery life with the optional 12-cell lithium-ion battery.

Take over your CD player with finer controls and sharper sound with the D-NE520 ATRAC CD Walkman(R) Portable CD Player. It supports multiple CD formats, multiple playback modes and can be controlled remotely. The digital amplifier and Parametric Equalizer give you sharp, clear sound while you travel. Skip-Free G-Protection(TM) Digital amplifier Clip remote Off Timer and Auto Rank Includes SonicStage software

Amazon.com Product Description

With the Sony DNE-520 MP3/ATRAC CD Walkman Portable Compact Disc Player (Black), Sony extends the Walkman's leading reputation by offering several new features that allow you to have an even more user-friendly experience than ever while listening to your favorite CDs.

A 5-line negative/positive backlit LCD allows you to select the display properties of the LCD, providing a unique way to view track, title, album and artist information of ATRAC or MP3 CDs you're playing. Sony has also provided a highly intuitive file navigation system -- the new Vertical Jog Lever Control -- and a new digital amplifier that is much smaller, uses less energy to produce the same signal, and is 80 percent more efficient than traditional analog amplifiers. And to top it off, Sony's thrown in a new stylish custom carrying case and clip remote that can be clipped onto your bag or belt and fits naturally into your hand, allowing you quick and easy access to essential playback operations.

The player's Skip-Free G-Protection technology provides quick recovery from both horizontal and vertical shocks, so hitting those unexpected pot holes or making sudden stops won't ever interfere with your listening while you're on the go. Playback options include 18 playback modes and a bookmark function that offers a wide array of listening choices, including hearing one track repeatedly, hearing a selection of tracks in a desired order, or listening to tracks randomly.

Compatible with Sony's ATRAC3plus technology, the Sony DNE-520 Walkman is loaded and ready to play the rewritable CDs of albums and tracks you download and burn from Sony's Connect Music Store. The player also comes bundled with Sony's SonicStage CD Simple Burner software. Compatible with most CD burners, this application transfers songs from CDs or MP3 music files from your PC's hard drive and burns them to recordable CDs using ATRAC3plus compression.

ATRAC3plus is Sony's high-quality audio-compression technology that reduces the size of digital audio files while preserving much of a track's original sound quality (similar in concept to MP3 or Dolby Digital sound formats). With ATRAC3plus, music can be burned and compressed at 132, 105, 66, 64, or even 48 kbps (kilobits per second), letting you select the right balance between fidelity and storage space, and allowing you to burn up to 490 songs to a disc at 48 kbps.

Other features include Sony's Digital Mega Bass Sound, which produces rich, deep, bass tones with extremely low harmonic distortion; a five-direction control key, which means that you control five individual functions from a single button; a three-line LCD that provides fast and easy identification of track, title, album and artist information along the location of specific songs; and an automatic shut-off feature that powers the player down when it's not in use, helping to further conserve battery power.

About Sony Connect Music Store and ATRAC3plus
Sony's Connect Music Store (http://musicstore.connect.com) offers one of the most extensive music collections online. Customers can choose single tracks or entire albums from independent and major-label artists for purchase and download. Sony's proprietary ATRAC3plus is an advanced audio compression and Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology offering multiple bit rates, allowing you to create music compilations tailored to your listening preference with the ability to get up to 490 songs on one CD-R/RW disc at 48 kbps. Songs downloaded and burned onto CD-R/RW media using ATRAC3plus technology can be played on any device that supports ATRAC3plus.

Customer Reviews:

Buyer Beware.......2006-07-28

Sony invented walkman. So this expensive walkman ought to be great, right? Wrong. The people who have written negative reviews got it right. Whoever thought it had great sound, well, I might suggest ...

I thought that perhaps the negative reviews were just a couple of people who, for whatever reason, don't like the Sony brand. Such biased criticism, unfortunately, is quite common. So I ignored their negative advice and bought it. After all, over the years I have been happy with my various Walkman products. Further I wanted something that would play a compressed format that had considerably higher quality than I can get with MP3s. After trying Atrac3plus at high bit rates on my PC, I decided that this was a good solution for my jaded ears.

I produced five Atrac CD's of classical music and slipped the first one into the Walkman. To save power, the player's motor only kicks in whenever it needs to refill a buffer. It then shuts the motor off. The motor noise, however, is as loud as the music at the maximum safe dB level! Very annoying. The problem doesn't go away when playing CDs either, but since the motor is almost always on, you can hear it all the time and must "tune your brain" in order to ignor the noise.

I thought it might just be that the motor needed "breaking in." No such luck. It has just gotten worse over the last two months. I then called Sony. After several somewhat inane "non-starters," they admitted they had a problem with a lot of these units, and to send it, along with the original sales slip, to Sony for repair or referbishment at their option. Unfortunately, even though I had registered the product with their web site, this did not seem to be enough to get Sony to act. They wanted the original sales slip, which, of course, I have not been able to find.

A second problem that Sony needs to resolve is the boot time. It takes about 30 seconds for the player to decide if the disk is a CD, and MP3, or an Atrac and load its album/track database. You wait and wait before the music can begin. Then your patients is rewarded with even more motor scrapings and screechings.

At this price, I can buy a very good universal DVD player. So why did Sony allow this noisy thing to come onto the marketplace? I don't know. I'm just thankful I didn't make more Atrac CDs before I tested it out. At least now I only have to find a good solution and reproduce five disks at this point. The replacement, however, will not be Sony.

If anyone doesn't mind the noise, I've got one for sale. Cheap.

Beautiful to look at... but really unlistenable........2006-06-18

When I opened my D-NE520, I was thrilled. The machine is sleek & black, the LCD elegant & the remote simple & intuitive.

Unfortunately, the sound quality was, frankly, horrible. And I'm not some sort of effete audiophile: there was a persistent hiss that was incredibly distracting. I looked around on line, and, while there aren't too many reviews of this product, I found others had experienced the same thing.

Stay away from this one. I'm sorry to say it's a dud. Mine is going back right now.

Excellent design, excellent sound.......2005-08-10

In reference to the below feedback, the user either had a bad unit or did not know how to use the player (reading the manual before using is a must). I previously used the SoulPlayer portable mp3 player and was 100 percent satisfied with it. After over 3 years of daily use it bit the dust. I was forced to look for another brand as SoulPlayer no longer manufactured a disc type MP3 player. I decided on the Sony, mainly by name recognition. I am glad I did. Sound quality is excellent with many user defined EQ settings. The display is a little small but does show everything you would need to know: Album name, Artist name, song title, etc. You can flip through the different setting to show the bit rate of the MP3, time left, etc. Actually, there are more settings then most people would use but for my money, more is better than less! Oh, and it only uses 1 AA battery which seems to last forever. Use rechargeables and forget it. Highly recommended for people looking for a disc type MP3 player.

Nice design, terrible sound quality.......2005-05-20

While the look and feel of this walkman is very nice, the sound quality was awful when wearing headphones. If I switched the audio output from "headphone" to the alternate feature which allows hooking up the player to a stereo, the sound was great, but then I couldn't work the volume. I will be returning this product and looking around for something better. I had high expectations of this product, and am very disappointed in this Sony product.
