The Sony Signature VAIO CB2 VPCCB2SFX/R 15.5" Notebook Computer is a widescreen notebook computer, built with performance in mind. The computer is powered by a dual-core 2.3GHz Intel Core i5-2410M CPU, which can be overclocked to 2.9GHz via the Intel Turbo Boost system. It ships with an enhanced software bundle that includes Adobe Acrobat 9.0 and Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10.0.

The computer supports Intel's Wireless Display technology, which allows you to connect to an HDTV wirelessly. You'll need the optional Netgear Push2TV accessory to utilize this technology. For wired connectivity to an HDTV, the notebook features an HDMI output.

The computer's 15.5" display features a 1920 x 1080 resolution -- equal to that of 1080p video! This makes it ideally suited for our high-definition world. Its Blu-ray drive supports HD disc playback, and can also read and write CDs and DVDs.

The computer is loaded with 4GB of RAM, a 640GB 5400rpm hard drive, Intel GMA HD 3000 graphics, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, an integrated webcam and microphone, USB 3.0, and a memory card reader. Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (64-bit) is the installed operating system.

Let There Be Light
The C Series has a distinctive, appealing pattern that hints at the sophistication and powerful technology on the inside.
Hardware Buttons
The VAIO C Series laptop also comes with three special hardware buttons: VAIO, ASSIST and WEB that get you where you want to go with a touch of a button.
  • One touch access to the web without full boot up into Windows with WEB button
  • Press the VAIO button to launch Media Gallery software and create movies, and enjoy photos and music in a whole new way
  • ASSIST button links directly to VAIO Care software that helps maintain and troubleshoot PC issues for optimal performance
Watch Blu-ray Disc Movies
The versatile BD-ROM drive on the CB2 laptop combines the power of HD Blu-ray Disc video playback with the convenience and utility of DVD and CD read/write functionalities. The best picture. The best sound. With its stunning clarity, Blu-ray Disc technology is the ultimate way to enjoy your entertainment.
The Wireless Way to Enjoy PC Content on a Big Screen
With Intel Wireless Display, you can sit back and experience your favorite videos, photos and music on your TV. Stop crowding around a laptop screen and view and share content from your hard drive, home network or the Internet on your HDTV. Simply connect an adapter to your TV (both sold separately) and follow a few simple steps. Set it up once, and sharing your screen is as easy as pie.
Intel Core i5 Processor Technology -- Visibly Smart with a Boost
The 2nd generation Intel Core i5 processor delivers even more performance automatically when you need it, and now a better visual PC experience is built-in. With Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, the 2nd generation Intel Core i5 processor increases speed automatically for whatever you're doing on your PC. The 2nd generation Intel Core i5 processor also includes built-in visuals, a rich set of new features for a stunning and seamless visual PC experience with no additional hardware required in the PC. Also featured is Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, which enables each processor core to work on two tasks at the same time, delivering the smart multitasking performance you need to move between applications quickly and without hesitation. That's visibly smart performance with a boost.
Built-In Camera and Microphone
With the built-in microphone you can video message with family, friends and coworkers. Face tracking technology allows the camera to automatically adjust focus and follow you as you move around while video chatting.
HDMI Output -- Take It to the Big Screen
Whether you're watching a movie or enjoying video captured from your compatible camcorder, the VAIO CB2 laptop lets you connect to your compatible HDTV with an incredibly high level of resolution. With an HDMI output, easily connect via a single cable so you can enjoy HD entertainment on the big screen without a myriad of extra cables and wires.
Pair Your VAIO with Sony Connected Devices
Remote Keyboard takes your VAIO PC one step further. Forget purchasing additional accessories to help navigate menus and options within your PS3 system, connected BRAVIA television or Blu-ray Disc player. Remote Keyboard bridges the technology gap and allows you to wirelessly pair your VAIO PC's keyboard and touchpad with a bevy of Sony connected devices and use them to quickly and easily navigate menus, browse the Internet and enter text.
