The VAIO NS is full of style and features a slim profile for good looks and portability. With smooth rounded corners and edges, the VAIO NS sports a relaxed and natural form that looks good by your side. Gentle curves also keep exterior dimensions to a minimum and ensures the laptop is really easy to slip into a bag or carrying case.

Excellent picture quality

With a good-size 15.4” widescreen display, the VAIO NS allows you to fully appreciate your multimedia entertainment without compromising portability. Sony X-black LCD technology ensures images are bright and sharp for truly realistic and natural-looking pictures. Intense contrast and colours bring multimedia files vividly to life on screen. An anti-reflective coating minimizes glare to allow enjoyment of movies, games and photo slideshows outside in the garden as well as from a wide variety of viewing angles.

Built-in MOTION EYE® camera

Hiding discreetly in the LCD panel is a 1.3 Mega Pixels high performance camera that allows you to conveniently video chat with friends and family.

Easy Connectivity

Designers positioned two USB sockets on each side of the notebook for effortless connectivity and made sure frequently used ports such as the headphone jack are as easy as possible to access. The VAIO NS also features a wide variety of connections including i.LINK™ for digital camcorders, a VGA port and ExpressCard 34mm slot.
