Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The VAIO AR Series marks another industry milestone for VAIO in terms of both design and capabilities. With its high-resolution widescreen display, dual-core processor and integrated Blu-ray optical drive, the AR Series is more than just a powerful mobile computer. It is the first notebook able to unlock the true potential of High Definition multimedia. Whether it's watching HD movies, editing HD content or using Blu-ray's amazing 50GB (on double layer BD) capacity for backing up files or recording up to 4 hours of HD video on a single Blu-ray disc. Thanks to the innovative use of strong but lightweight materials in its construction and attention to ergonomics in its design, the AR Series is easy to use at home or at the office and light enough for working anywhere in-between. All of which means that whatever your demands and however you choose to use it, the AR Series can open the doors to a host of new creative, commercial and recreational possibilities. For the user on the move who wants desktop performance wherever their work may take them, the AR Series combines everything you would expect in a notebook with two items that you wouldn't - a High Definition optimised 17" ultra widescreen display, and the latest Intel dual-core processor. It means that as well as offering wireless connectivity and portability, you also have the power, screen size and resolution to get the most from professional software. A larger viewing area makes it easier to use floating palettes or open documents side-by-side, while the boost to performance also makes it simple to work with audio and video editing applications that require both high resolution displays and high speed processing. Plus as the screen benefits from Sony's next generation X-Black technology, definition is always sharper and brighter with almost no glare, so it is more comfortable to use for longer periods and less tiring on the eyes.

Impressive spec 6 Feb 2009
This is a laptop which keeps giving, impressively fast, lovely screen perfect if you are editing HD Video or Photos on the go.

It's not without fault however: The physical size is about a 1/4 inch larger than the standard 17" laptop making it a snug to very tight fit in any 17" Laptop bag. It is remarkably heavy for it's size too. That beign said on a recent trip to India it coped with the knocks and bangs of a backpacking photographer with ease and at no point did it faulter. If only it came with Visita Ultimate or even Business rather than the rubbish and limited home preimium you think for the price point that this would be included by Sony.

Aside from these few minor points a fantastic bit of kit.
