Perfectly portable

Lightweight and easy to handle at 3.8 lbs. with a thin 1” profile, the VAIO® S Series laptop is crafted for those on the move. Featuring 2nd generation Intel® Core™ i5 technology, dedicated AMD graphics, a backlit keyboard and a durable magnesium alloy casing, the S Series laptop has everything it takes to get you through the most demanding of days - all in a thin-and-light 13.3” form factor. Plus a host of energy-saving features deliver up to 7.5 hours of standard battery life, and up to 15 hours of total combined battery life with the all new large capacity sheet battery (sold separately) – helping to keep you unplugged longer9.

Convenient backlit keyboard

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.

Hardware Buttons

The S Series laptop also comes with three special hardware buttons: VAIO, ASSIST and WEB to help you get where you want to go with a simple touch of a button. •Select the WEB button for one touch access to the web without full boot up into Windows®. •Press the VAIO button and instantly launch Media Gallery™ software to enjoy all your photos and music in a whole new way. •ASSIST button links directly to VAIO Care™ software that helps maintain and troubleshoot any PC issues for optimal performance.

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 offering 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 fly 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

LED backlit display

Developed by the same people you trust to engineer amazing flat-panel HDTVs, the VAIO® S Series laptop features exceptional picture quality. The 13.3” (1366 x 768) widescreen display includes an LED backlight that helps ensure a bright display while conserving battery power. Plus, with100% color saturation you’ll enjoy a wider spectrum of color for more true-to-life images.

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 offering a thinner battery profile 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. Attaching directly to the standard capacity battery and by working in tandem with it, you’ll enjoy up to 15 hours of total combined battery life (with optional extended battery) – helping to keep you unplugged longer9.

Take it to the big screen - wirelessly

Now it’s easy to wirelessly stream content to your HDTV with the Intel® Wireless Display enabled S Series laptop. Sit back and experience your favorite online TV shows and movies from the comfort of your couch. Access personal video, music and photos from your hard drive or home network and immediately send it wirelessly to the biggest display in up to full 1080p HD and 5.1 surround sound. With integrated Intel® Wireless Display technology, searching for cables and stringing them across your living room or office is a thing of the past8.
