Windows 7 Home Premium makes it easy to create a home network and share all of your favorite photos, videos, and music. You can even watch, pause, rewind, and record TV. Get the best entertainment experience with Windows 7 Home Premium.

Simplify everyday tasks	Work the way you want	Make new things possible
Simplify your PC with new navigation features like Aero Shake, Jump Lists, and Snap. Customize Windows to look and feel the way you like by changing themes and taskbar programs. Setting up a home network and connecting to printers and devices is easier than ever. Windows 7 Home Premium supports the latest hardware and software.	Designed to make your PC sleep and resume quicker. Takes full advantage of 64-bit PC hardware and memory. Connecting to wireless networks is fast and easy.	Watch, pause, rewind, and record TV with Windows Media Center. Watch your favorite DVD movies. Includes integrated video and Dolby audio codecs.

Jump Lists
New in Windows 7, Jump Lists take you right to the documents, pictures, songs, or websites you turn to each day. To open a Jump List, just right-click a program icon on the Windows 7 taskbar. (You'll also find them on the Start menu.) What you see in a Jump List depends entirely on the program. The Jump List for Internet Explorer 8 shows frequently-viewed websites. Windows Media Player 12 lists commonly-played tunes. Your Jump List missing a favorite? You can "pin" whatever files you like there. Jump Lists don't just show shortcuts to files. Sometimes they also provide quick access to commands for things like composing new e‑mail messages or playing music.

Improved Windows Taskbar
In Windows 7 you can "pin" favorite programs anywhere on the taskbar for easy access. Not crazy about the icon lineup? Now you can rearrange them any way you like by clicking and dragging. Finally, there are new ways to preview windows. Point to a taskbar icon to see a thumbnail preview of open files or programs. Then, move your mouse over a thumbnail to preview the window full-screen. You can even close windows from the thumbnail previews--a big time saver.

Snap
Ever need to cut through a cluttered desktop and quickly focus on a single window? Just click a pane and give your mouse a shake. Every open window except that one instantly disappears. Jiggle again--and your windows are back.

The XBRITE technology (with LED backlighting) delivers brilliant colors and stunning clarity, and it features an anti-reflective coating to minimize reflection and ensure a beautifully clear image from any viewing angle. The LED backlighting offers lower power consumption for improved battery life and provides incredibly high brightness levels, amplifying colors and creates clear, crisp pictures that truly pop off the LCD. You'll get amazing color saturation for deeper blacks, brighter whites, true-to-life color and razor sharp detail. It's the ideal way to present your work or watch a DVD when you're on the go.

Video is powered by the NVIDIA GeForce G210M graphics processor unit (GPU), which includes 256 MB of dedicated video RAM as well as up to 2013 MB of total available graphics memory shared with the system. The GeForce G210M allows you to fully enjoy the new GPU-accelerated visual capabilities and features built into Windows 7. Experience the new built-in drag-and-drop transcode feature that automatically transfers video to your portable device. The GPU consumes up to 50 percent less power compared to previous generation notebook graphics, giving you more time to surf the web, write email, or use word processing applications. Let your GPU do the work for video playback with NVIDIA PureVideo HD technology, helping extend battery life, reducing fan noise, and freeing the CPU for multitasking. It's compatible with external monitor resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 using a VGA connection and up to 1920 x 1080 using an HDMI connector.

(You'll also find them on the Start menu.) What you see in a Jump List depends entirely on the program. The Jump List for Internet Explorer 8 shows frequently-viewed websites. Windows Media Player 12 lists commonly-played tunes. Your Jump List missing a favorite? You can "pin" whatever files you like there. Jump Lists don't just show shortcuts to files. Sometimes they also provide quick access to commands for things like composing new e‑mail messages or playing music.

In Windows 7 you can "pin" favorite programs anywhere on the taskbar for easy access. Not crazy about the icon lineup? Now you can rearrange them any way you like by clicking and dragging. Finally, there are new ways to preview windows. Point to a taskbar icon to see a thumbnail preview of open files or programs. Then, move your mouse over a thumbnail to preview the window full-screen. You can even close windows from the thumbnail previews--a big time saver.

Snap
Ever need to cut through a cluttered desktop and quickly focus on a single window? Just click a pane and give your mouse a shake. Every open window except that one instantly disappears. Jiggle again--and your windows are back.
