email this pageprint this pageemail usNYTimes

A new breed of multimedia systems is entering the market, replacing a whole entertainment rack and more. Check out what's new form Toshiba, Hewlett-Packard, Sony and Gateway.


BIG FOR ITS SIZE - A TruBrite L.C.D. and Harmon Kardon speakers give the Toshiba Qosmio G15 laptop some features usually expected only in a desktop.

COMPONENT PC - Looking more like a stereo component than a computer, the Hewlett-Packard z545Ö digital entertainment center has a 200-gigabyte internal hard drive, a wireless keyboard and an integrated trackball.

ALL-PURPOSE ENTERTAINER - The DHS5 from Alienware offers up to three television tuners and Dolby Digital sound, and technology to make loading PC games easy.

FOR THE BUDGET-MINDED - For $1,000, the 832GM Media Center PC from Gateway offers a full package of features for a home entertainment center, including a DVD+/-RW drive, TV and FM tuners and wireless keyboard, mouse and remote.

LIQUID COOLED - The Vaio RA series from Sony has cinematic sound, a gigabyte of RAM, 320 gigabytes of storage and a liquid cooling system to keep the bulked-up system from overheating.

GAME ON THE GO - The Inspiron XPS Gen 2 from Dell comes with a powerful graphics card for portable gaming.
