The easy-to-use family of E Series VAIO notebook PCs from Sony expands this summer. The recently-announced VAIO E Series 14 is now joined by larger screen models of 15.5” and 17.3” to broaden your choice of HD-friendly entertainment options.

Sporting a signature ‘wrap-around’ design with softly rounded corners, the VAIO E Series is ideal for families, students and anyone who wants to enjoy fuss-free multimedia computing.

The VAIO E Series 15 teams fresh, individual looks with everything you need for everyday tasks. With Intel® processors, generous storage, smooth graphics and clear, high-contrast 15.5” VAIO Display, there’s all the power you need to breeze through the day.

Boasting a 17.3” VAIO Display Plus Full HD on selected models, the VAIO E Series 17 gives you extra screen space to enjoy movies on Blu-ray Disc™ (on selected models), edit photos or play games.

Need a break? There’s no need to shut down or hibernate. Just close the lid and the VAIO E Series goes into an ultra-low power deep sleep, keeping your data safe for up to ten days1. When you’re ready to resume, simply open the lid. Rapid Wake + Eco ensures you’re up and running in moments, with all your files just as you left them.

It’s easy to navigate through documents and media files with the large, button-free touchpad. Selected models also feature a backlit keyboard for comfortable typing when the lights are dim. Video chats are clearer and crisper with the built-in HD web camera powered by ‘Exmor for PC’ that ensures sharper details, higher contrast and rich colours. Movies and games sound rich and natural, thanks to xLOUD™ and Clear Phase™ technologies that boost speaker volume levels without distortion.

The new VAIOs also make a handy ‘any time’ charger for your smartphone. Just plug in your phone via USB for a handy top-up - even when the computer is switched off or in sleep mode.

New VAIO E Series 15 and 17 are available in a choice of white, black or (E Series 15 only) silver colour finishes, and will be on sale from early June.

1 Battery life in Sleep mode varies depending on configuration and operating conditions, such as installed system memory size, remaining battery capacity and USB charging settings.
