Sony VAIO S Series Silver Laptop Computer, Model VPCSE13FXS
Features:
- 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 flat design concept that abandons traditional bulky batteries,
unnecessary seams and protruding ports. A seamless piece of brushed aluminum
milled to precise specifications creates the core of the S Series chassis
offering firm structural integrity while creating bold clean contours
- Perfectly portable
Lightweight and easy to handle at just 4.4 lbs. with a thin 1” profile,
the VAIO® S Series laptop is crafted for those on the move. Featuring
2nd generation Intel® Core™ technology, full HD 1080p display, hybrid
graphics, Blu-ray Disc™ technology (select models), up to 8GB RAM and
a durable magnesium alloy casing, the S Series laptop has everything it takes
to get you through the most demanding of days - all in a thin-and-light 15.5”
form factor. Plus a host of energy-saving features deliver up to 6 hours of
standard battery life, and up to 12 hours of total combined battery life with
the all new large capacity sheet battery (sold separately) – helping
to keep you unplugged longer
- 2nd generation Intel® processor technology
As our most popular family member, the 2nd generation Intel® Core™
i5 processor features Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 that increases
your PC’s speed automatically. See and feel performance with a visible
difference. Get the visibly smart processor with a boost
- Free yourself from the cord
Leveraging the latest innovations in lithium polymer technology, the battery
of the S Series is integrated into the PC and conforms to the contours of
the chassis offering a thinner battery profile while still supplying up to
6 hours of battery life. This concept even extends to the all-new large capacity
sheet battery and leaves behind the traditional bulky and protruding long-life
batteries of the past. Attaching directly to the standard capacity battery
and by working in tandem with it, you’ll enjoy up to 12 hours of total
combined battery life (with optional sheet battery) – helping to keep
you unplugged longer
- Premium Hybrid Graphics
The VAIO® S Series puts you in control by offering a Hybrid Graphics system
that allows you to easily set your system to deliver powerful AMD Radeon™
graphics performance when you need it and energy savings when you don’t.
Plus, you can even adjust your performance level on the fly without needing
to reboot. A simple hardware switch enables you to choose between two settings:
1. Select Speed for maximum power while multi-tasking or running heavier applications
2. Select Stamina to conserve energy and extend battery life for light computing
and mobile scenarios
- LED backlit display
Developed by the same people you trust to engineer amazing flat-panel HDTVs,
the VAIO® S Series laptop features exceptional picture quality. The 15”
(1920×1080) widescreen display includes an LED backlight that helps
ensure a bright display while conserving battery power
- Enhance the security of the Internet
Symantec™ VIP is a powerful, additional layer of security that links
your PC to the online account, VPN or application that you select, decreasing
the ability of thieves to access your accounts and information from another
PC. Created jointly by industry leaders Intel® and Symantec, and available
through select member websites, VIP helps ensure that only you can access
your online accounts and websites. When you log into any of the hundreds of
VIP member websites, you’re asked to provide a one-time password that’s
automatically generated by Intel® Identity Protection Technology. Since
the password is random, and you get a new one each time you visit, it’s
virtually impossible for cybercriminals to hijack your online identity. The
best part? The identity protection technology is built into your new PC’s
processor, so there’s no extra hardware to buy and no tokens or other
“credentials” to lug around, forget, or lose. Protecting yourself
online has never been easier
- 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 features a precisely
engineered keyboard and integrated 10-key pad for the ultimate in speed and
convenience. And to make it even easier to find the right keys, an automatic
LED backlight illuminates each key
- 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.8 With integrated Intel® Wireless Display technology, searching
for cables and stringing them across your living room or office is a thing
of the past
- Superspeed USB
The S Series laptop features a USB 3.0 port perfect for connecting a compatible
external hard drive and allowing you to wait less and transfer data up to10x
faster than USB 2.0

ASSIST and WEB to help you get where you want to go with a simple touch of
a button. • Select the WEB button for one touch access to the web without
full boot up into Windows™. • Press the VAIO button and instantly
