Sony VAIO S 13.3″ Laptop Introduced
Soon after launching the VAIO C series laptop, Sony today rolled out the VAIO S notebook. This one’s a 13.3-inch thin and light laptop with elegant new ‘full flat’ design for enhanced mobility and superior robustness. Other features include dynamic hybrid graphic system for balanced stamina and performance, Fast Boot and quick web access for increased productivity, backlit keyboard and ambient light sensor, and VAIO “everywair” 3G WWAN.
The slim, light VAIO S Series features a stylish new ‘full flat’ design that’s crafted in magnesium with a wide aluminium palmrest for strength, lightness, usability and looks. There’s also a cleverly concealed hinge mechanism that doesn’t distract your view of what’s on screen. Overall thickness shrinks to less than 24mm, while weight is a travel-friendly 1.75kg.
VAIO S Series introduces a smart new battery concept that lets you keep working day and night without a pause. The internal lithium polymer battery provides power for up to 7 hours on-the-go computing (in Stamina mode). It’s partnered by a second thin, flat optional lithium polymer extended battery that can be charged separately from the PC and added without removing the internal battery. The second battery attaches without having to switch off the PC, boosting stamina to up to 14 hours if you’re far from mains power.
Specification include Intel Core i7-2620M processor, 8GB DDR3 memory, 128GB SSD, (13.3”) VAIO Display Plus (1366×768) with wide (16:9) aspect ratio, AMD Radeon HD 6630M + Intel HD Graphics, and Blu-ray drive.
Other features include WLAN 802.11b/g/n; 3G WWAN; Bluetooth 2.1; USB 2.0 (x2), SuperSpeed USB 3.0 (x1); HD web camera powered by “Exmor”; VAIO Assist and Performance Switch buttons, Fast boot, and backlit keyboard.
New VAIO S Series is available in a choice of black, white and silver finishes. There’s an additional choice of exclusive pink and blue colour options available online from Sony.
The new VAIO S Series notebook will be available from March/ April 2011 depending on country.
