The VAIO VPC-SA36 13.3" Notebook Computer from Sony is a compact notebook computer with a LED backlit 13.3" display. LED technology provides more even light than traditional CCFL technology. It is also much greener than CCFL, as LED backlights are free of mercury and other environmental toxins and consume less power. The computer can operate for up to 6.5 hours per charge at default brightness settings.

The VAIO features a 16:9 aspect ratio screen with a 1600 x 900 native resolution, greater than that of 720p video. A DVD drive is included for disc playback and burning. The system is loaded with Sony's Media Gallery software, which makes it easy to organize all of your digital media.

The computer supports Intel's Wireless Display technology, which allows you to connect to an HDTV wirelessly. You'll need the optional Netgear Push2TV accessory to utilize this technology. For wired connectivity to an HDTV, the notebook features an HDMI output.

The system is powered by a dual-core 2.70GHz Intel Core i7-2620M, which can be overclocked to 3.40GHz via Intel Turbo Boost. It is loaded with 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD storage drive, dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, an integrated webcam and microphone, a fingerprint reader, a TPM security module, and a memory card reader. Graphics are handled by the hybrid AMD Radeon HD 6630M with 1GB of memory -- it can operate in discrete mode for superior performance, or in integrated mode for better battery life. Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) is the installed operating system.

All Day Mobility

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 6.5 hours of battery life. This concept even extends to the optional 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 longer.

Detail in Design

With uncompromising attention to detail and a passion for design, the Series features a fully flat design concept, a seamless piece of brushed aluminum milled to precise specifications creates the core of the S Series chassis offering firm structural integrity while creating bold, clean contours.

Intel Core Processor Technology

Designed and engineered to speak for itself, the S Series introduces you to a world of bold design and mobile performance that only Sony can bring you. Featuring a 2nd generation Intel Core processor technology, powerful yet efficient hybrid graphics, a beautiful LED backlit 13.3" antiglare display, and up to 15 hours of combined battery life (with optional extended battery) in a thin-and-light chassis, the S Series perfectly combines design, power, and portability at an exceptional value.

The system also features a built-in GPS module, so you will always know where you are in the world!
