create  something worth sharing

Sony Imagination Studio™ VAIO® Edition includes four powerful Sony applications: Movie Studio Platinum, ACID® Music Studio, Sound Forge® Audio Studio and DVD Architect™ Studio software - so you can create  music and movies like never before.

 

Sensational Sound

Experience full-impact surround sound anywhere with Dolby® Home Theater® v4 technology on your PC. Whether you listen through headphones, the speakers in your laptop, or a connected home theater, a more captivating entertainment experience can be yours anytime. Dolby Home Theater technology offers total control over audio settings, so you can customize the sound for the maximum impact. It makes audio levels more consistent: set the volume once, and that’s where it stays.

 

HD web camera

The built-in webcam and microphone let’s your family and friend see you clearly while chatting. The Exmor® sensor helps guarantee a clear, bright picture even in dimly-lit rooms. And with select  applications, you can use the webcam and a few simple hand gestures to turn pages, skip songs, adjust the volume and more

 

All-Day Mobility

With an optional large capacity sheet battery, you leave behind the traditional bulky and protruding long-life batteries of the past. Attaching seamlessly to the bottom of the laptop and by working in tandem with it, you’ll enjoy up to double the battery life – helping to keep you unplugged longer. And when it's time to charge, no need for your PC- this extended sheet battery can be charged independently (without laptop).

 

Sleek portability

With uncompromising attention to detail and a passion for design, Sony introduces the next generation VAIO® S Series laptop. Simple yet bold, with a lightweight, highly durable magnesium alloy lid, the S Series features a full-flat design concept that abandons traditional bulky batteries, unnecessary seams and protruding ports and trays with a slot-loading optical drive.

 

Sony's Media Apps

Experience your content like never before with Sony's Media Apps. We bring together the very best of Sony’s state-of-the-art technologies to provide an exceptional experience. You get seamless connectivity across all of your Sony devices to your content. Share and play with it as you choose. Connect to your favorite social networks and discover moments with your friends. Quick and easy access to the Sony Entertainment Network and other online content services, for an endless array of content.

 

Night Shift

Practical innovation is a cornerstone of Sony’s vision, and our keyboards are no exception. The keyboard features precisely engineered keys to create  a comfortable and intuitive typing experience. When typing in dim light, an LED backlight create s a pleasant glow, framing the individual keys and illuminating the lettering to make it even easier to find the right keys.

 

HDD G-Sensor™ Shock Protection technology

G-Sensor™ Shock Protection technology counteracts sudden movements by locking up the spinning hard drive to help prevent potential damage, such as scratching, which could lead to data loss.

 

Docking Station

With an optional docking station, you can quickly and easily connect to your external monitor, AC adapter, and multiple peripherals without needing to plug and unplug each one every time you arrive at your desk or workstation. Featuring four USB ports, HDMI® out, VGA, Gigabit Ethernet port and DC in, you have the connectivity that you need. The built-in hard drive provides expanded storage for your files and a simple backup solution.

 

Bold and Bright

Developed by the same people you trust to engineer amazing flat-panel HDTVs, this laptop features exceptional picture quality. The 13.3” (1366 x 768) widescreen display includes a glossy, anti-reflective finish which provides better color intensity without any glare.

 

Simple multi-gesture touchpad

The multi-gesture touchpad is the most intuitive way to interact with your laptop. Scroll with two fingers, pinch to zoom in and out of images, swipe to flip through pages or photos, and you can even rotate an image, and much more. Use your touchpad in the same way as if you were touching the screen. And rather than clicking on a button, just click on the left or right mouse areas in order to activate those functions.

 

Rapid Wake

With Sony’s own rapid wake technology, you never have to shut down your computer again. Whether you are done working for the day or just heading out to get some coffee, simply close the lid to put your PC into sleep mode. Then, when you’re ready to start again, resume in two seconds with your data safe and secure. If you are unplugged, don’t worry about draining your battery. Your PC can stay in sleep mode for days⁷.

 

The handiest port around

Forgot to charge your phone or mp3 player? Just plug your device via USB cord into the USB sleep charge port and start charging. Even if the PC is shut down and not plugged in you can still use it. And don’t forget that the USB 3.0 port is perfect for connecting a compatible external hard drive and allowing you to wait less and transfer data up to 10x faster than USB 2.0.
