A revolution in Sony® VAIO® design
With uncompromising attention to detail and a passion for
design, Sony introduces the next generation in VAIO® laptop
design. Simple yet bold, the S Series features a fully at design
concept that abandons traditional bulky batteries, unnecessary
seams and protruding ports.
A seamless piece of brushed aluminum milled to precise
specications creates the core of the S Series chassis oering rm
structural integrity while creating bold clean contours.
Power and Portability
For maximum performance and ample storage, the VAIO® S
Series features the 2nd generation Intel® Core™ i5 processor and
SSD technology. The result is quicker boot-ups, faster application
launches and overall enhanced performance. And of course,
since SSD technology includes no moving parts, you get a more
durable storage solution less prone to physical damage.
By utilizing a powerful AMD Radeon™ HD 6630M graphics card
with 1GB VRAM, you’ll experience premium visual quality and
intense HD performance without placing huge demands on
the CPU. The VAIO® S Series puts you in control by oering a
Hybrid Graphics system that allows you to easily set your graphics
performance to deliver power when you need it and energy
savings when you don’t. You can even set your performance
level on the y without needing to reboot.
Take it to the big screen – wirelessly
Now it’s easy to wirelessly stream content to your HDTV with
the Intel® Wireless Display enabled S Series laptop. Sit back
and experience your favorite online TV shows and movies from
the comfort of your couch. Access personal video, music and
photos from your hard drive or home network and immediately
send it wirelessly to the biggest display in up to full 1080p HD and
5.1 surround sound.
With integrated Intel® Wireless Display technology, searching for
cables and stringing them across your living room or oce is a
thing of the past.
At just 3.65 lbs. the VAIO® S Series laptop oers a step up to the
performance and portability you demand. From its seamless
contours to advanced technology that oers up to 14 hours 30
minutes of combined battery life with included sheet battery the
S Series combines bold design and mobile performance in a way
