unplugged longer9.
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 oering a thinner battery prole while still supplying up to 7.5
hours of battery life9.
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.

of total combined battery life (with optional extended battery) – helping to keep you unplugged longer9.
Premium graphics performance
An AMD Radeon™ HD 6470M dedicated graphics card with 512MB of VRAM gives a performance boost to your
day-to-day processor functions for an optimized overall computing experience regardless of the task.
Plus, the S Series puts you in control by oering 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 y 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

of use, the S Series laptop features precisely engineered keys to create a comfortable and intuitive typing
experience. And to make it even easier to nd 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.
