This season’s VAIO notebook range is sure to raise your performance expectations for
portable computing.
With a completely new chassis featured on every model, Sony continues to build the reputation of its
popular notebook with up-to-the-minute functionality, superior battery life and close attention to the
best mobile technologies.
Starting with the flagship Z117 model, which uses Intel’s top-of-the-line Core™ i7 CPU and a
state-of-the-art 256 GB Solid-state drive, you can expect to enjoy speed unprecedented in a mobile PC.
Your exceptional computing experience continues with a 1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® graphics processor
with CUDA™ Technology which can be toggled to switch itself off to conserve battery life, as well the
Z117’s 8GB of RAM, Full 1080P HD LCD, and built-in noise cancelling technology for comfortable listening
while on the road. When set into a 13.1” chassis crafted with one-piece milled aluminium plate and
robust carbon fibre, this VAIO sets all new standards in its class.
The changes don’t stop with Z117, however. Many of the premium technologies it delivers can also
be enjoyed throughout the new VAIO range in a style or size to suit. Whether you want a desktop
replacement for home, or a portable PC for work, you can be certain that Sony has the perfect
notebook solution, not only for your computing needs, but also for your self-expression.

The latest in performance engineering A portable multimedia studio
Evernote for VAIOWith demand steadily increasing from PC users for faster all-round performance and more multimedia access,
64-bit processing has become today’s standard for mid-range and advanced computers.
In brief, 64-bit processors massively expand the system memory (RAM) in PCs, previously limited to
4GB in 32-bit processing systems. In fact, 64-bit processors can theoretically address up to 16.8
Terabits of RAM as well as using one ‘clock cycle’ to process twice the amount of data (or bits)
as any 32-bit equivalent. This added capacity really comes into its own when processing
high-resolution video and graphics. With VAIO – you can enjoy all the benefi ts of 64-bit
processing today.
The benefits of 64-bit computing
Sony’s new VAIO range feature the latest processors from Intel – the
Core i3, i5 and i7. With up to 8 simultaneous processor threads for
multi-tasking, powerful integrated graphics and new technologies
to automatically adjust for optimum speed or battery life, they offer
the ultimate computing experience.
Core i3 – the best value next generation CPU includes high-
performance video processing for great performance and
battery life.
Core i5 – adds Intel TurboBoost technology to automatically
increase the processor speed when required. Ideal for every-day
media creation and consumption.
Core i7 – for serious multi-tasking, HD video editing and gaming, the
Core i7 offers up to Quad Core (8 processing threads) CPUs for the
fastest notebook computer performance.
Sony VAIO notebooks include the latest version of PMB for managing and enhancing your High Defi nition video and
photo collection. PMB VAIO Edition now features an improved user interface, including a darker colour scheme for
reduced eye strain.
PMB VAIO Edition now features advanced video
and photo enhancement tools including automatic
correction of picture noise, upscaling to High Defi nition
resolutions and even stabilisation of shaky video.
Because of the high power requirements of HD video
editing, selected VAIO models now even let you share
video processing tasks across the main CPU and the
graphics card using NVIDIA’s revolutionary CUDA
technology. When coupled with the latest Intel Core
i processors, this can increase processing speed
by up to 400%.
The latest VAIO notebooks feature a special
edition of the acclaimed Evernote. Evernote is the
perfect place to organise and recall all your ideas,
notes and memories. Able to capture everything
from web page snippets to digital photos to
scanned documents, Evernote automatically
indexes your notes (even hand-written ones!), and
syncs with any computer, the web or your smart-
phone for instant recall anywhere.
Evernote for VAIO makes it even easier to save the
things you like with direct capture from the Motion
Eye camera and integration with PMB for VAIO
