Display Plus Full HD on selected models, giving users
extra screen space.
By closing the laptop's lid, the VAIO E Series goes into
a low power deep sleep, keeping data safe for up to ten
days. Opening the lid resumes operation. Rapid Wake +
Eco ensures the laptop is up and running in moments,
with all the files just as they were left.
The new E series also feature a button-free touchpad, a
backlit keyboard, built-in HD web camera powered by
'Exmor for PC' along with xLOUD and Clear Phase

The VAIO E Series 15 and 17 is available in a choice of

finishes.
Also annoucned by Sony today, the new VAIO S series is
available in a choice of 33.7 cm (13.3") and 39.5 cm
(15.5") screen sizes.

and an anti-reflective coating to minimise glare. For
even richer colours, VAIO Display Premium is also

Series 15 models feature a Full HD VAIO Display Plus,
offering wide viewing angles.

Disc or DVD).

SSD storage and NVIDIA GeForce dynamic hybrid graphics.
Selected S Series also feature LTE/3G WWAN mobile
broadband.
Available as an option, a new docking station for S

It offers users automatic back ups of their files
automatically. There's also an optional sheet battery
that boosts stamina up to 14 hours.

comes with 3rd generation Intel quad-core processors on
selected models. They're teamed with latest

The Power Media Dock on selected models further expands

the optical drive, and enjoy even more graphics power
plus a simultaneous view of spreadsheets, trading
figures on up to four screens.
The 33.2 cm (13.1") Full HD VAIO Display Premium on
selected models assures rich colours and a wide viewing
angle, while anti-reflective technology cuts distracting
reflections when you're working under direct lighting.
Sony's Rapid Wake + Eco technology is available in both
new VAIO S Series and Z Series. Both models also offer
stamina, with an optional 'sheet' battery that lets
users work uninterrupted for up to 14 hours.
