VAIO SZ28GP/C is 16:10. In the past, you had to manually set up the proper aspect ratio. But the Plug & Display function
automatically adjusts the aspect ratio of VAIO (16:10) to the aspect ratio of the projector (4:3). With Plug & Display, there´s no fooling
with controls — just fast, trouble-free professional presentations. Simply connect, and make your presentation with ease!

Mobile endurance and performance packed into 13.3" wide!
Long-lasting battery stamina is essential for power mobile users. VAIO SZ28GP/C provides exceptional power to go, for as much as
up to 7 hours*. Optional battery VGP-BPL2C offers up to 10.5 hours* for assured stamina. In addition, Sony´s original technology
includes Hybrid Graphic System and VAIO Power Management Viewer to help save power. Both mobile endurance and performance
are neatly packed into the ultra-convenient 13.3" wide VAIO SZ28GP/C.
VAIO Power Management Viewer
VAIO SZ28GP/C is especially made with several power-saving features for mobile usage. VAIO Power Management Viewer is one of
them. It lets you customise different power modes to control the balance of stamina and performance according to your preferences
and needs. You can preset several different power modes for different occasions. For example, select "presentation" mode to adjust
the "display brightness" to maximum setting for your presentations, or choose "mobile" mode to set "power-saving" to maximum
setting for your business trips. VAIO SZ28GP/C especially offers high performance when it uses battery power. Switch from one mode
to another easily and make the most of your power supply.
New fan accommodates high performance
VAIO SZ28GP/C features a new type of fan, Complex Shroud Blade Fan. Its blades are specially shaped and the air volume is
increased for intake and exhaust during the fan´s rotation. Exhaust air volume is especially increased with the two-directional exhaust
vents while rotation noise is moderately controlled. As a result, excellent heat loss efficiency and low noise are realised. Now when
you work on your PC for many hours, you can keep comfortable. In addition, VAIO SZ28GP/C offers a utility setting that lets you
prioritise "quietness", which keeps the frequency of the fan below a certain level. You can simply change the setting with the S button.
ExpressCard™/34 slot
Equipped with a slot for ExpressCard™/34, the next generation of PC card, the VAIO SZ28GP/C enables significantly accelerated
data transfer. And through use of the supplied Memory Card Adapter, the same slot can also be used to accept Standard Memory
Stick, Memory Stick PRO, SD/MMC cards and xD-Picture card™ too.
