Ultra-slim and lightweight, but packed with power thanks to the latest Intel Centrino technology, the VAIO FS series notebook from Sony is specifically designed to meet the needs of demanding but value-conscious consumers. Standout features include multiformat Double Layer DVD and widescreen displays enhanced with new generation exclusive Sony X-black LCD technology.The distinctive styling of the FS series also conceals a practical dimension. The aesthetic appeal of its slim line profile is backed up by robust yet lightweight magnesium alloy construction. The combination of thin-format design and the choice of materials also means a carrying weight of only 2.8kg.The low weight is even more impressive considering that every model in the range benefits from a large, 15.4-inch widescreen display. The high resolution wide XGA panel is perfect for watching DVDs and gives users the freedom to work with several applications at a time. Better yet, second generation Sony X-black LCD enhancement with double lamp technology yields a visibly brighter picture with more vibrant colors and heightened contrast.
