The VAIO S Series range of notebook PCs from Sony grows with a slim, power-packed 39.5cm (15.5”) addition to the family.
The new model offers all the performance and thinness of its 33.7cm (13.3") sibling – while adding a larger screen to suit anyone who needs more room to work and play.
Just 24.5mm thin and weighing a travel-friendly 2kg (approx.), VAIO S Series can be carried easily between meetings or lectures in a backpack or case. Crafted in magnesium and aluminium for lightness and rigidity, the stylish ‘full flat’ design features a concealed hinge mechanism that doesn’t distract your view of what’s on screen.
The 39.5cm (15.5”) Full HD VAIO Display Plus offers a clear, generously-sized view of documents, movies and more. On-screen glare from office lights and other sources is diffused smoothly for a clear, comfortable image without distracting screen reflections that can cause eye-strain during prolonged viewing.
VAIO S lets you keep working and playing all day and into the night. The internal battery gives power for up to 6.5 hours1 computing time (in stamina mode). Available as an option, a secondary Sheet battery can be charged separately from the PC and attached at any time, boosting total stamina up to 13 hours1. If you’re in a hurry, Quick Charge gives you an hour’s worth of battery life from just 20 minutes recharging time on AC power.
A conveniently-placed performance switch lets you choose speed mode for maximum performance, or stamina mode for longer battery life when you’re away from mains power.
The backlit isolation keyboard includes a dedicated numeric keypad for precise, rapid data entry. There’s also an ambient light sensor that automatically dims display brightness to conserve power when the lights are low. Video chats with friends and family are crisp and clear thanks to the HD web camera powered by ‘Exmor’ technology.
Models configured to order with an SSD drive feature Quick Boot, loading Genuine Windows® 7 significantly quicker than conventional notebooks to save you precious time. Available on selected models only, embedded VAIO 'everywair' 3G WWAN lets you connect on the move via your mobile broadband operator at up to 14.4Mbps (download) / 5.76 Mbps (upload). All models feature a conveniently-placed WEB button that powers up your PC for Internet access in seconds.
