Innovation

Every VAIO contains an incredible level of technology. That's simply a fact. We know you need the latest features. So we deliver.

VAIO Display

VAIO Display

Your VAIO will make multimedia entertainment more exciting with true-to-life intensity, vibrant colours and real depth. Sony’s groundbreaking VAIO Display technology features real wide 16:9 aspect ratios, high contrast and scratch resistance on all models.

Most of our models feature LED technology which means slimmer and lighter screen and superior battery life.

On selected entertainment notebooks, VAIO Display Plus adds anti-reflection and wider viewing angles to your viewing pleasure.

On professional-level VAIO notebooks, VAIO Display Premium adds extreme brightness and high colour saturation.

Environmental Thinking

Environmental Thinking

Many VAIO models are Energy Star compliant, while others feature power-saving technology, such as powering down the screen while you listen to music.

Our production processes are driven by environmental concerns. Packaging is from recycled material. All main circuit boards (without components) and plastic cover parts above 25g are halogen-free while, for easy recycling, all plastic parts above 100g comprise one material or easily-separable materials.

Solid State Drives

Some VAIO models offer Solid State Drive (SSD) technology instead of or in addition to normal hard disc storage.

Having no spin up time, and no mechanical parts, data retrieval and storage is near-instantaneous making work, and browsing, faster and more enjoyable. With no moving parts, SSD devices can withstand day-to-day knocks, making them less prone to failure.

SSD devices use memory chips rather than a spinning hard disc to store data. Unlike other memory chips, they retain data when powered down.

Windows® 7

Windows® 7

All VAIO notebooks integrate the new Windows® 7 operating system.

Windows® 7 is designed to make PCs start up, shut down, resume from standby and respond faster, while enhanced power-management increases battery life. With Windows® 7 Professional or Ultimate, you’ll be able to run programs designed for Windows® XP (may require additional free download).
