Product Description

PORTABLE PLEASURE


The deceptively quick Y Series laptop packs pleasing performance in an ultra-thin frame. An available Intel Core i3 processor and up to 8GB of RAM help ensure that this PC delivers the fighting power necessary to meet your computing demands. Whether you're running multiple programs while writing a paper or streaming a movie over a wireless connection, it handles whatever you throw its way.


YOUR OWN MOBILE HOTSPOT


Select VAIO Y Series laptops feature Sony's exclusive Share My Connection technology. This technology lets you turn your computer into a mobile hotspot that can connect up to 5 other Wi-Fi enabled PCs or networked devices, such as smartphones, MP3 players, and cameras.


BEAUTIFULLY BRIGHT


The 13.3" (diag.) LED-backlit widescreen display on the Y Series notebook offers incredibly high brightness levels. The result is amplified color and unbelievably crisp picture quality, making your photos and movies more enjoyable. Even better, all this brightness is achieved with lower power consumption for improved battery life.


LONG LASTING


Enjoy more time away from the power cord. Featuring a host of energy-saving features that help deliver up to seven hours of standard battery life, the Y Series stays productive as you venture cross-campus or cross-country.


BATTERY UP TO 7HRS MAX Brightness UP TO 8HRS DEFAULT SETTINGS


INTERNET TO GO


No slow connections here. When you fire up select Y Series laptops, your email and favorite websites load quickly no matter where you are. And 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.


STABLE STORAGE


By employing an advanced, reliable solid state drive (SSD) instead of a typical spinning hard disk drive, select Y Series laptops provide faster boot-up, speedier access to your applications, faster read/write speeds and lower power consumption. And because an SSD has no moving parts, it's less prone to the common scratches that occur in conventional hard drives.


EVERYWHERE ELEGANCE


No matter where you go, the Y Series laptop follows with travel-ready toughness and unmistakable VAIO style. A reliable and durable magnesium casing helps to protect against the bumps and knocks common to life on the go, so you can be prepared for the long haul.


ONE-TOUCH MULTIMEDIA


Just press the VAIO button in the top-left corner of the Y Series laptop and launch VAIO Media Gallery. This software simplifies your music library and helps you relive memories with friends and family by creating instant, professional-looking slideshows of your favorite photos. You can even add unique transitions and soundtracks for more personalized show.


GRAPHICAL GREATNESS


No matter what you do on the Y Series laptop, it's sure to look fantastic. Dedicated graphics come courtesy of ATI Mobility Radeon with 512MB of VRAM on select models. So whether you're watching HD movies or editing your digital photo collection, your day-to-day processor functions will be optimized for serious productivity.


INTUITIVE TYPING


Ideal for taking notes in class or quickly blogging on the go, the spacious keyboard on the Y Series makes typing more comfortable. Not only is the sizeable keyboard unique for such a small notebook, but the spacing between the keys are precisely engineered to help prevent mistakes.


EASY PHOTO SOFTWARE


With PMB VAIO Edition you can create memorable, professional-looking movies in just three easy steps. Plus, it helps to eliminate clutter and instantly sort your photos and home videos by person, place or date. You can also quickly locate specific content and receive instant results with a powerful search engine.


ADOBE BUNDLE INCLUDED


When you buy a Y Series laptop from Sony Style, you get an extra perk: The Adobe Bundle. Organize and edit your photos with Photoshop Elements 8.0. Make incredible movies with Premiere Elements 8. And prepare and protect PDF documents with Acrobat Standard 9.0. Software is pre-installed. Box imagery is for display purposes only. A $448 value.


MICROSOFT OFFICE 2010 STARTER


The Y Series includes Microsoft Office 2010 Starter, which offers reduced-functionality versions of Word and Excel. That means you're instantly ready to create basic documents right out of the box. For greater functionality, you can choose to upgrade to other Microsoft Office suites and prepare complex documents no matter where you are.
