Warranty 

Features and specifications are subject to change without notice.

*1 CPU speed will be reduced under certain operating conditions.  *2 By removing the pre-installed 512MB memory module and adding one 1GB memory module.  
*3 Necessary data for recovery (setting back to initial shipment settings) in the hard disk drive consuming approximately 5GB in size is available separately.  *4 This 
product is designed to playback discs that conform to the Compact Disc Digital Audio standard specifications (CD Standard). A DualDisc is a two sided disc product 
which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side.  Please be aware that the audio side (non-DVD side) of a DualDisc may not 
play on this product because it does not conform to the CD Standard.  *5 High-speed/Full-speed/Low speed compatible.  *6 Compatibility confirmed with Sony branded 
“Memory Stick” media only.  *7 Does not support SD card’s copyright technology.  *8 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.  *9 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.  *10 This product may only function with a genuine Sony battery designed for this model.  *11 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  *12 Warranty conditions may vary by region.
