Sony launches latest VAIO X notebook in ME

Sony Gulf has launched its latest VAIO X Series of notebook in the Middle East.

Ultra light, thin and offering long battery life, the VAIO X integrates new wireless connectivity features and reliability, making it an ideal notebook for business persons on the go, according to a statement.

Designed to be the world’s lightest notebook it weighs just 655gm. and measuring 13.9 mm – just about the width of a mobile phone, it offers 16 hours of continuous use with the optional eight-cell battery.

“The VAIO X is an extremely portable laptop that blends unique features with high performance components and ultimate reliability. The core design also conforms to new market dynamics and evolving demographic trends, catering to tech-savvy users and business people who are constantly on the go,” said Osamu Miura, managing director of Sony Gulf.

The VAIO X Series is equipped with WWAN to stay connected to high-speed Internet. Featuring a high quality wide 11.1” LCD with 1366 x 768 pixel (VAIO Display Premium, LED backlight), 17mm key pitch isolation keyboard for comfortable typing and a new touch pad with convenient multi-finger gestures like zoom and flick navigation, it also integrates various interfaces such as VGA and LAN port and built-in webcam to enhance the essential piece of usability in business scenes.

The extreme mobility of VAIO X does not affect the performance in any way, he explained.

The combination of the latest Intel Atom Processor Z550 (2 GHz) (VPCX118LG), solid state drive, and Windows 7 gives the latest notebook from Sony an edge over other products in offering satisfactory business usage on the go, he said.

Optional accessories include a leather slip case and a dramatically styled wireless mouse.

VAIO’s advanced technology also incorporates aesthetic features while securing superb reliability. The groove running along the outer edge of the LCD and palm rest - the Rigid Arc structure - is not just a design but built to minimise distortion from external pressures. In addition, the housing is made out of carbon, while the palm rest is moulded out of a one-piece aluminium plate to further increase the strength.

The notebook has successfully withstood the 150 kgf pressure-vibration test, proving its ability to perform even in tough real-life situations, he added.
