your PC against the bumps and knocks common to life on the go. Plus a
host of energy - saving features deliver up to 5 hours of standard battery life,
and up to 7.5 hours with a large capacity battery (sold separately).
SEE THE LIGHT
Practical innovation is a cornerstone of Sony’s vision, and our keyboards
are no exception. Designed for ease of use, the s 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.
EASY CONTENT STREAMING
Now it’s easy to wirelessly stream content to your HDTV with the Intel ®
Wireless Display enabled S Series notebook. Sit back and experience your
favorite online TV shows and movies from the comfort of your couch.
Access music and photos from your hard drive or home network and
immediately send it wirelessly to the biggest screen in your home. With
integrated Intel ® Wireless Display technology, searching for cables and
stringing them across your living room is a thing of the past .
Plus, the Intel ® Wireless Display creates its own Personal Area Network
(PAN) so there’s no need to go through the cumbersome process of
adding devices to your home network. It just works.
Step up to the portable and powerful 13.3 ” VAIO ® S Series notebook. A
breeze to carry at just 4.4 lbs (with standard battery), this PC delivers up to
5 hours of standard battery life for true mobile freedom. Add to that
durable magnesium casing and you get a notebook that’s perfect for
those who are always on the go.
