Warranty
Features and specifications are subject to change without notice.
*1 CPU speed will be reduced under certain operating conditions. *2 Intel
®
Virtualization Technology is not supported on VAIO. *3 The maximum operating frequency of the memory bus is 533MHz due
to the capacity limitation of the processor system bus. *4 GB means one billion bytes when referring to hard disk drive capacity. Accessible capacity may vary. A portion of hard disk space is reserved as
a recovery partition. *5 Compatibility confirmed with Sony branded "Memory Stick" media only. *6 The copyright protection of the SD memory card is not supported. *7 The maximum communication
distance can vary depending on the obstacles or the distance between the communication devices, the radio waves, the operating system or the software being used. *8 The communication speed
varies depending on the distance between communication devices, existence of obstacles between such devices, the device configuration, the radio conditions, and the software in use. In addition,
communication may be cut off depending on the radio conditions. *9 Estimated battery life (under JEITA Battery Run Time Measurement Method ver. 1.0). Actual battery life may vary with different
operating conditions and settings. For further details, please visit vaio-online.sony.com *10 Though the software is not pre-installed, the official license is registered. It can be downloaded free of charge.
*11 This software is intended for evaluation purposes only. It must be activated before actual use, and the activation procedures will be detailed during initial launch. Activation requires Internet access,
which enables certain functions included. This software has an expiration date of 60 days from date of first use, at which time the software will operate under reduced-functionality mode, limiting options
and operations. *12 Free use of 90 days. Further update will be charged. *13 This product may only function with a genuine Sony battery designed for this model. *14 Warranty conditions may vary by
region.
