PERFECTLY PORTABLE
Lightweight and easy to handle at just over 4 lbs. (with standard battery) with a thin 1”
profile, the VAIO® S Series notebook is crafted for those on the move. But true mobility is
about much more than mere size and weight. And that’s where this PC stands apart. A
durable magnesium casing and new G-Sensor™ Shock Protection technology help
protect your PC against the bumps and knocks common to life on the go. Plus a host of
energy-saving features deliver up to 5 hours of standard battery life, and up to 7.5 hours
with a large capacity battery (sold separately).
SEE THE LIGHT
Practical innovation is a cornerstone of Sony’s vision, and our keyboards are no
exception. Designed for ease of use, the S Series laptop features precisely engineered
keys to create a comfortable and intuitive typing experience. And to make it even easier
to find the right keys – whether typing day or night, in the dark or light – an LED backlight
creates a pleasant glow, framing the individual keys and illuminating the lettering.
EASY CONTENT STREAMING
Now it’s easy to wirelessly stream content to your HDTV with the Intel® Wireless Display
enabled S Series notebook. Sit back and experience your favorite online TV shows and
movies from the comfort of your couch. Access music and photos from your hard drive
or home network and immediately send it wirelessly to the biggest screen in your home.
With integrated Intel® Wireless Display technology, searching for cables and stringing
them across your living room is a thing of the past
.
Plus, the Intel® Wireless Display creates its own Personal Area Network (PAN) so there’s
no need to go through the cumbersome process of adding devices to your home
network. It just works.
CONVENIENT BACKLIT KEYBOARD
Practical innovation is a cornerstone of Sony’s vision, and our keyboards are no
exception. Designed for ease of use, the S Series laptop features precisely engineered
keys to create a comfortable and intuitive typing experience. And to make it even easier
to find the right keys – whether typing day or night, in the dark or light – an LED backlight
creates a pleasant glow, framing the individual keys and illuminating the lettering.
DURABILITY
Hit the road with confidence. The VAIO® S Series laptop is built to help endure the
knocks, bumps and accidents common to frequent travel and day-in, day-out
computing. Important durability features include:
• Magnesium alloy casing to help protect against knocks and bumps.
• G-Sensor™ Shock Protection technology helps counteract sudden movements by
locking up the spinning hard drive to help prevent potential damage, such as
scratching, which could lead to data loss.
Step up to the portable and powerful 13.3” VAIO® S Series notebook. A
breeze to carry at just 4.4 lbs (with standard battery), this PC delivers up to
5 hours of standard battery life for true mobile freedom. Add to that
durable magnesium casing and you get a notebook that’s perfect for
those who are always on the go.
