that connects just about anywhere your cell phone can. Add to that increased security and remote management
with Intel®Centrino®2 with vPro™technology, easy to use circular scrolling, and a spill-resistant keyboard and
touchpad, and you get a laptop that lets you do more than you ever expected. And not just at your desk.
