Security for assured mobility
VAIO SZ79GN/C has many security features to prevent unauthorised access and ensure your
mobile PC lifestyle. Hard Disk Password protects sensitive HDD data for one level of security
and Fingerprint recognition allows easy logging in. Further data protection for your VAIO
SZ79GN/C comes from secure encryption and decryption of files and folders via the Trusted
Platform Module (TPM) security chip and bundled software utility.
Mobile endurance
For powerful mobile performance, long-lasting stamina is essential. VAIO SZ79GN/C offers
up to 7 hours* with standard battery VGP-BPS10, and up to 10 hours* with optional battery
VGP-BPL9. Fast and smooth mobility comes from VAIO SZ79GN/C’s compatibility with
wireless LAN standards IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11 Draft n
(Wi-Fi). And, by sensing shakes or shocks and securing the HDD, VAIO HDD Protection with
integrated 3D acceleration sensor prevents important data loss.
* Estimated battery life (under JEITA Battery Run Time Measurement Method ver. 1.0). Actual battery life may vary with different operating conditions
and settings. Estimated battery life at “SPEED MODE” will be approximately 1.5 hours shorter for VGP-BPS10 and approximately 2.0 hours shorter
for VGP-BPL9.
Communication advantages + AV
VAIO SZ79GN/C features advanced mobile PC communication with built-in MOTION EYE
camera and mic. Simply turn on MOTION EYE for convenient videoconferencing. Or use
Bluetooth
®
-compatible headsets with applications for smooth voice communication. VAIO

takes sound performance to a superior level. And SonicStage Mastering Studio Audio Filter
with 4 exclusive sound presets works superbly with specially recommended headphones*.
With VAIO SZ79GN/C’s DVD±RW/±R DL/RAM Drive, archiving your digital masterpieces like
home videos, edited movies, or photos couldn’t be smoother.

Mobile-conscious profile
VAIO SZ79GN/C’s ultra-slim display is simply amazing. This extraordinary thinness comes
from the white LED, one of the latest display technologies used in the VAIO SZ79GN/C LCD
backlight. Combined with carbon fibre used in the display cabinet, the display thins down to
a mere 5.1mm. Maintaining a weight-conscious profile for trim portability, VAIO SZ79GN/C
carries the built-in MOTION EYE camera centred on the upper LCD bezel. Pairing white
LED technology and carbon material is how VAIO SZ79GN/C stays slim and light.
VAIO SZ79GN/C is a synergy of outstanding features integrating advanced technology like innovative Intel
®
Centrino
®
Processor Technology (incorporating the newest accelerated Intel
®
Core
TM
2 Duo Processor), Sony’s
unique graphics technology, carbon display cabinet, and enhanced security. Mobile performance has
rarely been so refined. 13.3" wide Clear Bright LCD (white LED) and full-pitched, full-sized keyboard
increase ease and efficiency with plenty of space to work and play. Set in Carbon Black colour
and enhanced by the dark, subdued shade of the matching palm rest, sophisticated design
details create a style suited for any occasion. Look inside and out, and you’ll see why
VAIO SZ79GN/C is Sony’s flagship mobile notebook: a trim 13.3" wide size — not
too small or big — to meet business needs and other interests in a variety of
environments.
