Night Shift
Practical innovation is a cornerstone of Sony's vision, and our keyboards
are no exception. The keyboard features a precisely engineered keyboard and
integrated 10-key number pad for the ultimate in speed and convenience. When
typing in dim light, an LED backlight creates a pleasant glow, framing the
individual keys and illuminating the lettering to make it even easier to
find the right keys.

Large-sized touch pad.
Simple Multi-Gesture Touchpad
The multi-gesture touchpad is the most intuitive way to interact with your
laptop. Scroll with two fingers, pinch to zoom in and out of images, swipe to
flip through pages or photos, and you can even rotate an image, and much more.
And rather than clicking on a button, just click on the left or right mouse
areas in order to activate those functions.
Listen Up
Integrated stereo speakers utilize the Clear Phase and xLOUD technologies,
which delivers a richer, bolder and louder presence. xLOUD technology enhances
speaker volume without sacrificing quality.
Resume instantly with your data secured with Rapid Wake.
Rapid Wake
With Sony's own Rapid Wake technology, you never have to shut down your
computer again. Whether you are done working for the day or just heading out to
get some coffee, simply close the lid to put your PC into sleep mode. Then, when
you're ready to start again, resume in 2 seconds with your data safe and secure.
If you are unplugged, don't worry about draining your battery. Your PC can stay
in sleep mode for days.
The Handiest Port Around
Forgot to charge your phone or mp3 player? Just plug your device via USB cord
into the USB sleep charge port and start charging. Even if the PC is shut down
and not plugged in you can still use it. And don't forget that the USB 3.0 port
is perfect for connecting a compatible external hard drive and allowing you to
wait less and transfer data up to 10x faster than USB 2.0.
HD Web Camera
The built-in webcam and microphone let's your family and friends see you
clearly while chatting. The Exmor sensor helps guarantee a clear, bright picture
even in dimly-lit rooms. And with select applications, you can use the webcam
and a few simple hand gestures to turn pages, skip songs, adjust the volume and
more.
