The screen has a glossy unreflective finish suitable for great movie watching.

The integrated smart card reader, which lets you add a level of security beyond just passwords, is impressive.

Other attractive features of the D13RY are 60/80/100 GB hard drives, integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, Pro/Wireless LAN 3945 ABG (802.11a/b/g), and an optional Bluetooth.
