reliable and with robustness
Robustness proven through multiple rigorous tests
VAIO has conducted dozens of unique quality tests that envision a variety of usage scenarios, and has also passed quality tests that comply with the US Department of Defense MIL standard (MIL-STD-810H)*, proving its toughness.
* Based on the MIL standard (MIL-STD-810H), we have conducted tests according to some of the test conditions we set ourselves to confirm that there are no operational defects in the basic functions. This is done to collect reliability data, and does not guarantee that there will be no damage or failure due to drops, impacts, vibrations, or changes in the usage environment.
Thoroughly verified to last for a long time
We conduct numerous quality tests to anticipate damage that may accumulate over years of use. For example, in dust tests, we pursue and confirm a structure that is resistant to clogging with dust. We use our own testing equipment to study this from the development stage, so that dust does not weaken the fan's intake and cause heat to build up inside, resulting in a decline in performance. In addition, we repeatedly open and close the product countless times to check for damage to the hinges or broken wiring. We pursue high durability so that you can use it stably for many years.

"battery care function" to extend battery life
Generally, built-in batteries have the tendency to deteriorate and lose capacity if kept fully charged for a long time. Therefore, we have prepared a "battery care function" that limits charging to 90% or 80%. This will extend the life of the built-in battery.
Strong and beautiful flat aluminum palm rest
The palm rest is made of aluminum alloy. The fine hairline enhances its beauty and texture. The surface is treated to be scratch-resistant, so its shine will not change even after long-term use.

"Quiet mode" that allows even a quiet voice to be heard
The device is equipped with a "whisper mode" that amplifies the sound so that it can be heard easily, as if there was a microphone next to your mouth, even in places where you cannot speak loudly.
Enhancing communication while ensuring privacy
The high-quality camera with approximately 9.21 mega pixels delivers the speaker's facial expressions to the other person. By adopting high-quality image technologies such as HDR (high dynamic range) function that reduces white blowout and black crush in the image and pixel binning that increases sensitivity by combining four pixels into one, the expressiveness is not lost even in backlit or dark environments. Regardless of the communication tool used, it also supports the virtual background function and blurring only the background.
Pause the camera feed
You can pause the image captured by the front camera from the VAIO Online Conversation Settings and VAIO Settings app (the image at the time of pause will continue to be displayed to the other party). This is a convenient function when you leave your seat for a moment during a web conference.
Various camera settings are consolidated in the "VAIO Settings" app. You can quickly apply settings that suit your usage style while checking the actual image."Conference room mode" allows voices from the entire conference room to be heard by the other party
The "Conference Room Mode" picks up only the voices of all the people around you with the built-in 360-degree microphone and adjusts the volume to an easy-to-listen level with appropriate signal processing. By combining it with the PC's built-in speaker, smooth communication is possible in small conference rooms with just one VAIO PC, without using a commercially available conference microphone speaker.
Focusing on sound, even clearer
Large-diameter stereo speakers are placed on the front of the device. VAIO's proprietary optimized Dolby Atmos® makes it easy to hear audio during web conferences (in "Audio" mode). Of course, high-quality sound is also produced when playing videos or music.
