Your entertainment, wherever you are
Whether you’re on the move or at home, the NW20EF puts you at the centre of a world of High Definition entertainment where contrasts are greater, blacks deeper and whites brighter to make images richer and gaming more immersive. The DVD Drive means you can play back movies, and record all CD and DVD formats, for storing treasured photos and home videos.
Designed for life
Central to the appeal of VAIO is its combination of sleek good looks with functional design. Take the isolation keyboard for example, which incorporates the optimum space between each key to enable the most accurate typing. The touch pad delivers additional functionality, enabling you to quickly find what you’re looking for using a variety of fingertip movements. Choose from the vibrant silver, white and pink finishes and match your VAIO to your style.
Appearing on the big screen
Beautiful images are assured, with the latest X-black technology. Colours are intense, details sharper and depth more real, whether you’re enjoying a favourite movie, browsing photos or playing a high-action game. The generous 15.5-inch screen means you’ll be able to watch movies just as the director intended in their original format, with 16:9 aspect ratio. It’s also large enough for you to view two web pages side-by-side, for moments when you need to multi-task.

VAIO isn’t just about sitting back and enjoying movies, you can make your own too. Unleash your creativity with VAIO Movie Story video editing software. Just import your video and photos, choose a theme and soundtrack, and the software will do the rest, generating a finished movie complete with smooth transitions and special effects. Additional editing functions let you rearrange scenes and replace photos. Then when you’re done, it’s easy to share your movies with others on Windows® Media Player or by uploading to a website. VAIO Movie Story can import a wide variety of video files including DVD, BD, AVCHD and Cyber-shot, and export to these formats too.
