VAIO Professional Notebooks with AdaptivePlus™ Technology

AdaptivePlus™ technology incorporates flexibility, security, mobility, and communications features for progressive, cost-effective IT resource management. The ability to swap out cross-compatible peripherals, gives you the flexibility you need to ensure cost-effective purchasing decisions. AdaptivePlus™ technology also touts some serious security features to keep your company’s sensitive information under tight wraps. After all, eighty percent of stolen laptops are stolen for the information they contain, and not for the hardware itself1. In fact, of the 600,000 laptop thefts reported in 2003, the result was a loss of an estimated $5.4 billion worth of proprietary information2. That’s why we’ve incorporated a biometric fingerprint sensor, hard drive password protection and a trusted platform module to protect your information even if a notebook is stolen. And for those road warriors who demand a travel-friendly notebook, AdaptivePlus™ technology delivers cutting-edge mobility and communications features such as built-in 802.11 a/b/g wireless LAN3, Bluetooth-Technology4 and an optional built-in camera for real time video conferencing.
