VAIO® W Notebook PC

The perfect mate your notebook PC.

THE PERFECT FAMILY ACCESSORY

Handy and sturdy enough for any member of your household the W Series PC is perfect
for surfing the web, e-mailing or updating your Facebook® profile.

An ultra-wide 10.1”LED backlit display (1366x768) produces vivid and crisp images
while conserving precious battery life.

Store your cherished digital family photos, school projects and important documents on
the 250GB (5400rpm) Serial ATA hard disk drive.

2 easy-to-access USB ports offer convenient connectivity to compatible cameras,
printers and USB flash memory media.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FOCUSED

In addition to Energy Star 5.0 compliance, EPEAT™ Gold registration, a mercury-free LED
backlight and more, the W Eco Series model takes environmental responsibility one step
further by integrating the below features:

• 20% of the PC/ABS resin used in the cover, palm rest and incidental parts is comprised
of reprocessed plastic from DVD and CD waste.

• To keep paper use to a minimum, we use an electronic user manual in place of the
standard 76-page printed manual.

•

Eliminate the need for a corrugated cardboard overpack by packaging the PC in a re

­usable carrying case that utilizes 100% recycled PET material (material from plastic
bottles) in the brown exterior fabric of the case.
