Be like no other
In a world where many things look alike, VAIO stands out as an individual. For some, recognising
that you are different from the rest can be a bit unnerving, but based on the strength of having
many thousands of unique and happy customers around the world, it could be said that VAIO is
comfortable in its 'chassis'.
Like you, VAIO models come in many different shapes, sizes and colours. Some are small, thin and
tough to survive cramped environments like economy class on a long haul flight. Whilst some are
athletic, bright and sturdy to hack the harsh conditions of a school bag. And some don’t even look
like a computer!
To help identify the VAIO to suit your individual needs and requirements, we have developed a simple
table to narrow down the search for a series to suit you.

Quality – Picking up a VAIO, you instantly
notice a distinctive ‘feel’ of quality. Sony’s
engineers build quality into each new VAIO
notebook model because they are designed
to meet a 'standard', rather than made to fit a
'price'. Quality is a feature that is not commonly
described in the specifications, but is no less
important when considering a purchase.
Connectivity – VAIO notebooks come complete
with a comprehensive collection of networking
options, ports, interfaces and multimedia
applications. Keeping connected can be faster,
simpler and a lot more fun on a VAIO.
Innovation - VAIO has been setting trends
and making improvements in its own quiet way
ever since the first 505 VAIO arrived in stores in
1997. The world's first ultra portable notebook
computer as well as being the first to feature
connections for digital camera / video cameras.
This vision for design and performance has
continued to this day - leading to incredible
developments in everything from industry
first displays (including Clear Bright, White
LED backlighting, and High Colour displays)
to innovative battery saving, wireless and
connectivity features.
