Key Features
Powerful Mobile PC Performance :  
  
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo P8400 processor (2.26GHz1) with Intel® Centrino® 2 processor technology and 3GB of pre-installed RAM. The VAIO® SR notebook comes pre-installed with Genuine Microsoft® Windows Vista® Business 32-bit with SP1. Thin, lightweight and durable Night Black magnesium alloy chassis weighs just over 4 pounds7 (with standard battery). A 13.3"6 LED backlit, widescreen display with power-efficient XBRITE-ECO™ LCD technology delivers dazzling colors and stunning picture clarity. Built-in Wireless-N technology offers a boost in wireless connection speed and range3. Store your important documents, business presentations and corporate projects on the roomy 250GB2 Serial ATA hard disk drive.
Serious Security :  
  
A built-in biometric fingerprint scanner makes authentication and secure access quick and easy – you only need your fingerprint. G-Sensor™ Shock Protection technology will lock up your hard disk drive to secure its position and help protect the disk from scratching.
“Switch” Your Perspective :  
  
Separate your business workspace from your personal workspace. VAIO® Switch mode is a set of buttons above the keyboard that lets you set three distinct usage “personalities”, or modes, to your SR notebook. The VAIO® SR notebook features an innovative keyboard design with keys that are individually raised above a solid, one-piece layer providing a quieter keyboard and more durable panel. Editing digital video and digital images is quick and easy with VAIO® Movie Story software. You choose the supplied template and professional-looking cutaways, cross-fades and soundtrack syncing are automatically done for you.
