At 6.8 pounds and integrating most every option available today, we have to wonder how we can top this. Magnesium alloy is 20 times the strength of plastic and has, until recently, only been used in military notebooks. Now the entire internal subsystem of the Mercury is protected by it, ensuring complete stability now and in years to come as well as reducing the need for a fan. An advanced polymer is then used to as the outer assembly, providing a look and feel second to none. Celeron fully upgradeable right through to the Pentium III 1GHz, now shipping.
Processing speed is only part of the story.
The Mercury also incorporates a 3 dimensional full duplex sound system, specifically designed for speech recognition. For security the Mercury has a removable hard disk, password protection and a Kensington lock anchor that is secured directly into the Magnesium alloy superstructure. Most other s anchors are attached simply to a plastic casing requiring very little effort to break free. Connectivity is a must for today. Whether connecting to your home broadband connection or plugging into your corporate LAN, the Mercury is ready.
