Sony drops new VAIO notebooks, now with 3D

 

Sony of Canada  recently dropped the VAIO S Series laptops with ultimate performance and the VAIO F Series 3D laptop, an innovative PC with 3D technology. 

VAIO S Series Ultra Mobility and Performance

The VAIO S Series laptops feature the powerful performance of a larger full-sized PC packed into a thin one-inch profile design and 13.3-inch screen form factor. Incorporating all the mobility of VAIO laptops, this new line delivers ultimate portability and performance with the second generation Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processor coupled with Hybrid Graphics as well as dual channel solid state drive options (select models). With Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, the processors increase speed automatically delivering the performance needed for multitasking.

AMD Radeon HD 6630 1GB Hybrid Graphics card (select models) gives a performance boost to your day-to-day processor functions for a faster, more optimized overall computing experience while lowering power consumption.

The S Series laptops come with one-touch VAIO, ASSIST and WEB buttons, for launching Media Gallery™ software, VAIO Care™ software and access to the web without full boot-up into Windows, all with a touch of a button.

Select S Series models sport a premium and elegant design in black, pink or silver with magnesium and aluminum materials, and all of them incorporate a built-in lithium polymer battery that when coupled with the all new and advanced large-capacity optional sheet battery, you can stay mobile and unplugged for up to 15 hours. Intelligent charging enables you to charge the optional sheet battery separately and attach it to the system without shutting down for maximum flexibility.

All models incorporate backlit keyboards, illuminating the lettering for typing in low light situations. And with the built-in microphone you can video message with family, friends and coworkers. Face tracking technology allows the camera to automatically adjust focus and follow you as you move around while video chatting.

 With Intel Wireless Display 2.0, you can sit back and experience your favorite videos, photos and music on your TV. Stop crowding around a laptop screen and view and share content from your hard drive, home network or the internet wirelessly on your HDTV utilizing the adapter (sold separately).

 VAIO F Series 3D laptop  

Featuring a 16.0-inch Full HD (1920x1080) widescreen display, it’s the ultimate entertainment laptop letting you view games and movies in impeccable detail and amazing colour. A Blu-ray Disc optical drive enables you to play high-definition content like movies in Full 1080 HD resolution as well as record, store and playback personal content on CD/DVD media. Its display is ideal for watching Blu-ray Disc movies.

Since many HD films are shot with a 16:9 aspect ratio, the unit’s extra-wide LCD is constructed with the same dimensions. This minimizes the black bars that typically appear, letting you view movies in their intended format.

With Sony’s own S-Force Front Surround 3D system you do not need a home theater system to get vibrant sound. The unit’s extended stereo effect plus simulated 5-channel surround sound provide the perfect accompaniment for viewing 3D content.

Effortlessly connect the PC and transmit in 3D to a compatible HDTV with 3D via its HDMI output (cable sold separately) for a larger viewing experience.

A NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M with 1GB dedicated VRAM card provides high-definition graphics processing for intense gaming action without placing huge demands on the unit’s CPU.

It packs a second generation Intel® CoreTM i7 Processor with 4 cores and supports Intel Hyper-Threading and Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 delivering the premium performance needed for powerful PC gaming. It comes with Windows® 7 Home Premium operating system.

VAIO® F Series 3D laptop – Ultimate Mobile 3D Experience

Featuring state of the art technologies and elegant design, the F Series 3D laptop delivers a superior viewing experience displaying incredibly high contrast levels and vibrant colors via Sony’s own Full HD 3D LED backlight display. A built-in 3D sync transmitter and included 3D active glasses let you enjoy 3D movies and photos in Full HD 1080p picture quality.            

The F Series boasts high-speed refresh rates and an ultra-high contrast ratio greatly reducing unwanted video artifacts and providing the ultimate close range 3D viewing experience. Plus, its 3D button enables you to convert 2D HD video and DVD/BD to 3D in real time.
