The VAIO S13A1 SVS13A18GX/B 13.3" Notebook Computer (Black) from Sony is built with the features and performance you need every day to stay connected and be entertained. The chassis of this Sony VAIO notebook features a lightweight, highly durable carbon fiber lid. The body sports a sleek black finish to give it a stylish look. With a full-flat design, this VAIO notebook abandons the need for bulky traditional batteries, unnecessary seams, protruding ports and trays. The system is also loaded with Sony's Media Gallery software, which makes it easy to organize all of your digital media so you can access your favorite music, photos and movies without having to dig through multiple folders.
For viewing all your favorite videos or photos, this Sony VAIO notebook supports Intel Wireless Display (WiDi) technology, which allows you stream HD video content to your HDTV. You'll need an Intel WiDi-compliant TV adapter, such as the Netgear Push2TV (sold separately), to utilize this technology. You can also use the integrated HDMI port on your Sony VAIO notebook to connect to your HDTV using an HDMI cable (sold separately), which supports both audio and video signals.
The system is powered by a dual-core Ivy Bridge 2.9GHz Intel Core i7-3520M processor. It also has 8GB of DDR3 RAM, a 640GB 7200rpm hard drive, a slot-loading SuperMulti DVD burner, 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, an integrated webcam, microphone and stereo speakers.
