Available in both 14 and 15 screen sizes and in a choice of three colour options (white, silver and pink) 1, both models are powered by Sony s visual and audio technologies, ensuring that users are maximising the notebooks potential when in use. VAIO Fit Designed for those who enjoy content both in the comfort of their homes and in the boardroom, the premium VAIO Fit sports a vivid LCD screen that is backed by VAIO s unique colour enhance technology, allowing for pristinely clear video and image quality. What it does is that it maximises the display s potential by optimising the colour gamut, resulting in a more vivid and clearer viewing experience. Furthermore, three different display colour modes mean that users can now enjoy viewing content based on their own preferences, even when reading text. With colour enhance technology, it feels as though one is reading off real paper itself by adjusting the screen s brightness and warmth. And enthusiasts who want an even more realistic reproduction of images, the 15 model has a Full HD screen, making visuals even sharper and more defined. 1 Availability of colour options is subject to specific models
An additional unique feature of the VAIO Fit notebook is its hybrid HDD, giving it three times faster accessibility and speed than a standard HDD, making it the perfect option for those who demand performance from their notebook, but is also price-conscious. With 750GB in storage capacity and an integrated flash-memory cache, the notebook offer the precise mix of volume and high speed required by those seeking extra performance.

The ClearAudio+ mode incorporates a variety of Sony s own signal processing technologies to provide unsurpassable audio quality, with different sound and equaliser settings that can be activated with the touch of a button. The sharing of music has also never been easier with One-Touch Listening. Utilising near-fieldcommunication technology, users can easily pair and connect their Bluetooth speakers and home audio devices such as the SRS-BTV5 and SRS-BTX300 respectively to wirelessly envelop the entire room in sound.
