Powerful PC Performance

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo P8400 processor (2.26GHz1) with Intel® Centrino® 2 processor technology – the latest chipset from Intel®. The VAIO® SR notebook comes pre-installed with Genuine Microsoft® Windows Vista® Home Premium with Service Pack 1. Thin, lightweight and durable magnesium alloy chassis weighs just over 4 pounds7 (with standard battery). Built-in Wireless-N technology offers a boost in wireless connection speed and range3. Store your important documents, team projects and cherished family photographs on the roomy 320GB2 Serial ATA hard disk drive.

“Switch” Your Perspective

Separate your business workspace from your personal workspace. VAIO® Switch mode keeps it organized and enables you to tailor your SR notebook to the way you use your computer. A set of buttons above the keyboard lets you set three distinct usage “personalities”, or modes, to your SR notebook. The VAIO® SR notebook features an innovative keyboard design with keys that are individually raised above a solid, one-piece piano-black bezel layer providing a quieter keyboard and more durable panel. Whether it’s for YouTube™, a team project or for sharing with friends and family, editing digital video captured by your Sony Handycam® is quick and easy with VAIO® Movie Story software. You choose the supplied template and professional-looking cutaways, cross-fades and soundtrack syncing are automatically done for you.

Serious Security

A built-in biometric fingerprint scanner makes authentication and secure access quick and easy – you only need your fingerprint. An integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) TCG Ver.1.2 compliant chip enhances security by allowing you to control access on a specific client/user basis. G-Sensor™ Shock Protection technology makes your data even less vulnerable to loss or damage. When the built-in 3D acceleration sensor detects a risky movement, the HDD-head will lock up to secure its position and help protect the disc from scratching.
