Thinning out the competition.

HERE'S THE SKINNY.
The new VAIO® X Series notebook is the world's lightest notebook1. Just how light are we talking? At a mere 1.6 pounds3 and just about a half-inch thin, you might just forget you're carrying it. If you're looking for an ultra-portable PC with killer styling, the X Series is all you.
-
LIMITED EDITION.
Be one of the lucky few to get your hands on the provocative new VAIO Signature Collection in Gold, featuring sexy gold paint and a 128GB solid state drive for fast, reliable storage.
-
L.A. TO TOKYO ON ONE CHARGE.
Setting a new standard in battery life, the X Series notebook lasts up to 14 hours8. This liberating lasting power comes courtesy of a large capacity battery that doubles as a tilted base for more comfortable typing. A standard 3.5-hour battery is also included for up to 17.5 total hours of mobile computing.
BATTERY UP TO 12HRS Max Brightness UP TO 14HRS Default Settings
-
HIGH-SPEED INTERNET TO GO.
No slow connections here. When you fire up the X Series, your email and favorite websites load quickly no matter where you are7. And the wireless technology is all built in, so there are no unsightly PC cards or add-ons necessary. It's all powered by America's largest and most reliable network, Verizon Wireless Mobile Broadband Built-In.
-
FLAT-OUT TOUGH.
The sexy and slender X Series is brawnier than it lets on. Its super-thin body is actually quite strong, poised to help take on the rigors of heavy travel. For reinforced durability, the X features:
- Strong-yet-lightweight carbon fiber casing
- Reliable solid state drive with no moving parts
- Seamless aluminum keyboard panel for structural rigidity
- Scratch-resistant widescreen display
Pure elegance.
A thin profile is just the beginning. The true allure of the X Series is found in subtle details like the grooved edge that traces the perimeter or the seamless sheet of lightly brushed aluminum that gracefully frames the keyboard and covers the palm rest.
-
FASTER, MORE DURABLE SSD.
By employing a reliable solid state drive (SSD) instead of a typical spinning hard disk drive, the X Series provides faster boot-up and speedier access to your applications. Because an SSD has no moving parts, it's less prone to the common scratches that occur in conventional hard drives.
-
SCRATCH-RESISTANT SCREEN.
A notebook can take a beating when you're on the road. That's why we used a special 11.1" scratch-resistant LCD2 that not only looks great, but lives up to Sony's reputation for impeccable image quality. It also boasts 100% color saturation, ultra-bright LED backlighting and a 16:9 aspect ratio for a wider workspace.
-
INTUITIVE TOUCH PAD.
Everyone loves fun-to-use, touch-enabled smartphones. That's why the X Series touch pad uses multi-touch functionality that's perfect for working on the go. Zoom in and out, flip through pictures, rotate items and scroll vertically and horizontally without even touching a mouse.
-
UNCOMPROMISING KEYBOARD.
The X Series keyboard embodies an indescribable sense of quality that just makes typing more enjoyable. Thoughtfully-spaced keys and a firm keystroke help prevent typing mistakes and create a solid typing experience that you might not expect from such an unbelievably thin computer.
-
TOUGHER THAN IT LOOKS.
Don't let its thin frame fool you. Encased in lightweight-yet-durable carbon fiber, the X Series is built to help endure the bumps and knocks of daily use and travel. From the LCD panel to the chassis, the smooth matte finish of sturdy carbon fiber suggests premium luxury while delivering serious protection.
-
REAL-TIME VIDEO CHATTING.
Face-to-face chatting11 is easy with the X Series. The built-in camera and microphone let you stay connected to family, friends and colleagues wherever your business may take you or personal life may take you.
-
PREINSTALLED WITH WINDOWS® 7.
Simplify everyday tasks with the all-new Microsoft® Windows® 7 Home Premium edition. This operating system has new and easier navigation features, lets you customize Windows to look and feel the way you like by changing themes and taskbar programs, and is easy to set up.
