When the display is opened, the back side of the keyboard rises, realizing a tilt and upward hinge mechanism for an angle that is easy to type. Not only does it reduce the burden on your wrists, but the side port also makes it easy to plug in and out the cable.
FURTHER ATTENTION TO DESIGN THAT TICKLES YOUR DESIRE TO OWN IT
The design of the hinge ornament, which symbolizes VAIO, has been completely redesigned. The ornament is placed to carve out the corners, adding a touch of sparkle to both ends.
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.
