Durable and sleek, carbon fiber is used in the bodies of complex machines that need rigid, lightweight strength, such as aircraft and racecars. Select VAIO notebook chassis feature multi-layered carbon fiber casing for enhanced durability without the added weight that metal-based casings can sometimes introduce.
The aerospace industry utilizes magnesium alloy for its lightness and high-impact resistance. These are the same reasons why it makes a great casing for a travel-ready notebook (available on select VAIO notebooks).
It is not just what's on the inside that counts. When a notebook drops off your desk
or the boardroom table, you can rest assured that the tough casing on the outside
will help keep the data on the inside protected.
