    Worthy of the Sony name, the W's screen really shines. Movies and photos look amazing on the 1366 x 768-resolution, 10.1" LED-backlit display3. Sporting a widescreen format that lets you view full-width web pages without side-scrolling, the W feels just like using a full-sized laptop.

Big screen, little notebook.

10.1 inches3. That's the size of the widescreen display on this small-yet-sturdy mini notebook. It's razor sharp, too. Thanks to 1366 x 768 resolution and LED backlighting, details are crisp and colors are ultra bright.

    At your fingertips is a smartly designed keyboard with springy and responsive keys that make typing emails fast and easy. And it has a familiar, easy-to-use touch pad and large touch pad buttons that allow comfortable web browsing.

  • PLUG 'N' PLAY.

    Connectivity is good. That's why you'll find two USB ports on the side of the W for connecting compatible cameras, cell phones, printers, USB flash memory and so much more.

  • THE CHOICE IS YOURS.

    The W comes in three contrasting colors, each with its own persona. Are you bold enough for a Berry Pink laptop? Maybe you prefer the more subtle approach of Cocoa Brown. Perhaps the cool and sophisticated Sugar White is more your style? You really can't go wrong.
