PC maker VAIO based in Japan has this week unveiled second-generation systems which improve on the previous S11, S13, and S15 laptops which are equipped with 11.6 inch, 13.3 inch, and 15.6 inch displays respectively.
On sale in Japan from today, the VAIO S11, VAIO S13, and VAIO S15 are expected to be available further afield, but no details on availability or pricing have been officially announced as yet.
Enhanced Specifications and Performance
The Liliputing website explains more:
The new VAIO S11 is a notebook with an 11.6 inch, 1920 x 1080 pixel display, support for up to a Core i7-7500U processor, up to 16GB of RAM, and up to 1TB of solid state storage. VAIO’s new 15.6 inch model, meanwhile, comes with Core i3-7100H, Core i5-7300HQ, and Core i7-7700HQ processor options. Those are quad-core, 45 watts chips rather than the dual-core, 15 watt processors used in the smaller models. The VAIO S15 supports up to a full HD display, up to 16GB of RAM, up to 1TB of hybrid hard drive/SSD storage, and features an optical disc drive.
The VAIO S11, with its compact 11.6-inch display, is designed for users who need a highly portable device without compromising on performance. The inclusion of up to a Core i7-7500U processor ensures that even demanding applications can run smoothly. Additionally, the option for up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of solid-state storage makes it a versatile choice for both professionals and students.
The VAIO S13, featuring a 13.3-inch display, strikes a balance between portability and screen real estate. This model is ideal for users who need a bit more screen space for multitasking or media consumption while still maintaining a lightweight and portable form factor.
VAIO S15: A Powerhouse for Professionals
The VAIO S15 stands out with its larger 15.6-inch display and more powerful processor options. The choice between Core i3-7100H, Core i5-7300HQ, and Core i7-7700HQ processors allows users to select a configuration that best suits their performance needs. These quad-core, 45-watt chips are significantly more powerful than the dual-core, 15-watt processors found in the smaller models, making the S15 a suitable option for power users and professionals who require robust performance for tasks such as video editing, 3D rendering, and software development.
Moreover, the VAIO S15 supports up to 16GB of RAM and offers up to 1TB of hybrid hard drive/SSD storage, providing ample space for large files and quick access to frequently used data. The inclusion of an optical disc drive is a notable feature, catering to users who still rely on physical media for their work or entertainment.
In addition to the hardware improvements, VAIO has also focused on enhancing the build quality and design of these laptops. The new models feature a sleek and modern aesthetic, with durable materials that ensure longevity and reliability. The keyboards have been designed for comfortable typing, and the touchpads are responsive and precise, making these laptops a pleasure to use for extended periods.
