Dolby is well known for
surround sound in the movies - it is rare to watch a film that doesn't start
with a reference to Dolby. What you might not know is that the sense of sounds
coming from all directions can be enjoyed on computers as well as in the cinema.
Computeractive has teamed up with Dolby to offer one lucky winner an Acer Aspire
7720G notebook.
Worth £800, the Aspire 7720G is ideal for watching movies as well as surfing
the internet and working on documents. It has built-in Dolby Home Theater
Surround Sound and wireless networking for breaking away from the desk. Films
are not restricted to the built-in monitor, as the HDMI socket can send
high-definition video to a television.
The notebook also has both VGA and DVI sockets for attaching a second monitor
and the S-Video connection can be used for a television. Both Firewire and USB
sockets are available for connecting to external peripherals and there is a
built-in memory card reader. There's also a built-in webcam for video calls.
The surround sound technology works with the built-in stereo speakers or with
a surround sound speaker set.
It can even generate the sense of sounds coming from all directions when
using a pair of headphones, which is ideal for enjoying films without disturbing
anyone else.
For your chance to win this great computer, simply answer the question to the
right before 9 July 2008.
