Sony's Latest Salvo - Inspiring Innovation

VAIO Factor

Bringing Extra Goodies to your Lap

Sony upgraded its VAIO brand with the addition of the new S, F, C and L series. The new additions also diversify the line-up with fresh features such as 3D capabilities, touch screen functions, performance management and exciting new designs.

The new flagship S series brings with it, as mentioned before, a performance switch which toggles the laptop between fast performance and longer lasting battery life increases the portability. The S series also has a sleek add-on additional battery which latches on to the entire underside of the laptop. It adds a few centimeters to the profile but provides an additional 6 hours of battery life.

The sleek add-on battery shown is ergonomic and provides six hours of extra usage.

3D Capabilities are introduced into the VAIO laptops by the F series which utilizes the frame detection methods from the BRAVIA televisions. The series also provides 2D to 3D conversion for movies as well. The C Series introduces verve through its splash of color. In fact the tag line for the C Series is “brightening up your life” which it does through its new light emitting material of which the top and palm rest are made of.

Finally, the L Touch HD PC/TV introduces the new concept of utilizing touch screen functions in the screen bezel thereby reducing the number of smudges on the parts of the screen most viewed.
