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 Series 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.

Durability

Hit the road with confidence. The VAIO® S Series laptop is built to help endure the knocks, bumps and accidents common to frequent travel and day-in, day-out computing. Important durability features include: • Magnesium alloy casing to help protect against knocks and bumps. • G-Sensor™ Shock Protection technology helps counteract sudden movements by locking up the spinning hard drive to help prevent potential damage, such as scratching, which could lead to data loss.

Perfectly Portable

Lightweight and easy to handle at just over 4.75 lbs. (with large battery) with a thin 1” profile, the VAIO® S Series notebook is crafted for those on the move. But true mobility is about much more than mere size and weight. And that’s where this PC stands apart. A durable magnesium casing and new G-Sensor™ Shock Protection technology help protect your PC against the bumps and knocks common to life on the go. Plus a host of energy-saving features deliver up to 8 hours4 with a large capacity battery.
