Features:
- Take it with you
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. Combining a brushed aluminum palmrest
shaped to precise specifications and a magnesium alloy chassis, the S Series
offers firm structural integrity while creating bold clean contours
- Killer Premium Hybrid Graphics
By utilizing a powerful AMD Radeon™ HD 6630M graphics card with 1GB VRAM6,
you’ll experience premium visual quality and intense HD performance without
placing huge demands on the CPU. Plus, the VAIO® S Series puts you in
control by offering 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 fly without
needing to reboot. A simple hardware switch enables you to choose between
two settings. Select Speed for maximum power while multi-tasking or running
heavier applications or select Stamina to conserve energy and extend battery
life for light computing and mobile scenarios
- HDD G-Sensor™ Shock Protection technology
G-Sensor™ Shock Protection technology counteracts sudden movements by
locking up the spinning hard drive to help prevent potential damage, such
as scratching, which could lead to data loss
- Bold and Bright
Developed by the same people you trust to engineer amazing flat-panel HDTVs,
this laptop features unbelievably crisp picture quality, making your photos
and movies more enjoyable. The 13.3” (1600 x 900) widescreen display
includes an LED backlight that helps ensure a bright display with lower power
consumption for improved battery life

- Night Shift
Practical innovation is a cornerstone of Sony’s vision, and our keyboards
are no exception. Designed for ease of use, the keyboard 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

- Security measures
TPM (Trusted Platform Module) provides secure information management and enhanced
business protection. TPM is built into a computer to store cryptographic information,
such as encryption keys. Because TPM uses its own internal firmware and logic
circuits for processing instructions, it does not rely upon the operating
system and is not exposed to external software vulnerabilities. As a result,
information stored on TPM is more secure from external software attacks and
physical theft
- Enhance the security of the Internet
Symantec™ VIP is a powerful 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 PC19. 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
- Built-in Mobile Broadband
Easy-to-use Mobile Broadband provides a secure connection to browse the Internet
and check email when you’re away from the office. Connect without the
need for a PC card, USB dongle or other accessory11. It makes good financial
sense to ditch the hotel network fees and leave behind unsecure Wi-Fi®
hotspots. Plus, we offer you a choice of carriers. And with Sony’s exclusive
Share My Connection™ technology transform your PC into a mobile hotspot
that can connect up to 5 PCs or other Wi-Fi® -enabled devices, such as
smartphones, MP3 players, and cameras
