Features and specifications are subject to change without notice.
*1 CPU speed will be reduced under certain operating conditions. *2 By adding one 1GB memory module. *3 High-speed/Full-speed/Low speed compatible. *4 Supports high speed data transfer with
parallel interface. Does not support MagicGate copyright protection technology. *5 MagicGate copyright protection technology cannot be applied to Memory Stick PRO. *6 Deploying IEEE 802.11b and
IEEE 802.11g products on the same wireless network may reduce the communication speed due to radio interference. Taking this into consideration, the IEEE 802.11g products are designed to reduce the
communication speed to ensure communication with IEEE 802.11b products. When the communication speed is not as fast as expected, changing the wireless channel on the access point may increase
the communication speed. *7 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. *8 This product may only function with a genuine Sony battery designed for this
model. *9 Estimated battery life (under JEITA Battery Run Time Measurement Method (ver.1.0).) When the power-saving mode is on. Actual battery life may vary with different operating conditions and
settings. For further details, please visit vaio-online.sony.com *10 Warranty conditions may vary by region.
