Sony Vaio S is renewed inside and out

We've been waiting to renew Sony notebooks, especially in regard to high-end entering the small and powerful Vaio S and Z. On this occasion he has had an update inside and outside the Vaio S, which I consider very successful. For those who do not meet the family S, are about 13.3-inch notebook in which there is no problem to include the latest hardware inside, highlighting the inclusion of Intel's Sandy Bridge: From Core i5-2410M (2.30 GHz) Core i7-2620M (2.70 GHz).

Possible to configure with 4, 6 or 8 GB of DDR3 RAM, and hard drives from 500GB or 128GB SSD. In the graphics, aside from the Intel integrated chip HD 3000, we find a AMD Radeon HD 6570M, 1GB DDR3 memory. We can choose to use one or another card to play with the autonomy of the team. The size of the device is far achieved, without reaching the heights of a Mac Book Air, have overall dimensions of 331 × 225 × 24 mm, and weighs only 1.75 kg.

As usual in high-end laptops Sony bet on the magnesium and aluminum for some parts of the equipment. The 13.3-inch screen has a resolution appropriate to its size, 1366 × 768 pixels, but not so bad it would have been somewhat higher, detail and use their competitors. It kills and is within the line of Sony VAIO Plus Display.

Details that will appeal to some buyers, and that distinguish the product are its backlit keyboard and ambient light sensor. As regards ports, we have HDMI 1.4, USB 3.0 and a pair of USB 2.0. The included webcam is 2 megapixels. Despite the trend to eliminate small optical drives in laptops, Sony has decided to leave the DVD drive or Blu-ray option.

We will also have optional 3G module. While the power to one side, a notebook of this type makes little sense if your battery does not have much autonomy, since we can inform you that the series takes about 7 hours, according to official figures. Sony has designed a second additional battery flat, which is placed under the laptop without having to turn it off, with it you can get up to 14 hours of battery life.

As you see in the picture, the desk stand is compatible with the use of the spare battery. The operating system chosen for the occasion will not be other than Windows 7, in its Home Premium / Professional 64bit. Boot has a 50% improvement to a standard, and one way in which Web-only start with a button.

The new Vaio S laptop will begin to arrive in Europe in March, in some countries in April. Unfortunately we can not inform you about the prices they start the range, although everything seems to be available from 999 euros. As you can see in the picture then find them in white, black and silver, and two blue and pink versions obtainable only through Sony Style: Official Site | Sony.
