Combining sizzling performance with a sophisticated design, Sony introduced a new line of ultra-portable PCs - the VAIO SR Series notebook. Carved from a lightweight magnesium alloy casing, the 1" thin SR weighs just over 4.0 pounds. Its razor-thin, 13.3" LED backlit wide-screen display provides deep blacks and ultra-bright, vibrant colors that truly "pop" for stunning graphics. There's also a highly responsive, quiet-touch keyboard composed of individual keys that emerge slightly through an attractive bezel layer.

    The SR notebooks are available in five striking colors - night black, sunset pink, glossy pink, classic silver and glossy silver. Select models come pre-installed with the Windows Vista Home Premium operating system. A Windows XP Professional downgrade is also available. The notebook also incorporates G-Sensor Shock Protection technology to counteract sudden movements helping to prevent damage and data loss.

    Weighing just over four pounds, the SR notebook boasts a 13.3-inch LED backlit widescreen display and Sony's patented XBRITE-ECO LCD technology for clear, crisp images that truly "pop" off the screen. Equipped with a uniquely designed keyboard, the unit's individual keys are slightly raised, producing a user-friendly touch and improved typing experience. The notebook is powered by new Intel Centrino 2 technology, the chipset designed for lighting-fast performance, instant system responsiveness and energy efficiency.

    With the SR notebook's integrated 802.11n LAN technology you can wirelessly surf the web and check email with greater range and reliability than ever before when connected to a compatible hotspot. And connecting with friends and family has never been easier thanks to the unit's optional built-in webcam and microphone.

    The unit comes with three entertainment software applications. Offerings include VAIO Movie Story software - an easy way to produce your own high-quality home movies, VAIO MusicBox software - a fun way to enjoy music based on your mood, and Click to Disc/Editor software - for easy DVD/ BD video-editing and creation. It also comes with VAIO Media software, a DLNA-enabled media sharing application that lets you wirelessly stream content stored on your PC throughout your home network. Movies, music and digital still images can be streamed from the notebook to a PLAYSTATION 3 or VAIO Home Theater PC that is connected to a TV for big-screen enjoyment.

    Powered by the latest Intel Centrino 2 processor, the revolutionary dual-core design delivers stellar performance that brings your games, photos and HD videos to life. And through advanced core microarchitecture aided by up to 6MB of shared L2 cache, applications run at phenomenal speeds. Final result: an ultra-powerful notebook that conserves battery life. With the all new switch mode, you can customize the look of your on-screen notebook to match your work, home and play scenarios. A set of buttons above the keyboard lets you set three distinct usage personalities/modes based on the scenarios in which you use your PC. Each mode can be customized with its own unique wallpaper and set of five shortcuts to your preferred programs.
