Sony VAIO F Series 16" Notebook (VPC-F217HGB)

A New Dimension

It's the total 2D and 3D solution that goes anywhere you do. Now you can open up to 3D action and HD entertainment on the go, all wrapped up in a high-octane laptop with power to spare. The all-new VAIO® F Series laptop includes comfortable, 3D active glasses that unleash a jaw-dropping 3D experience without excess crosstalk commonly referred to as "ghosting." Not only will you experience 3D Blu-ray Disc™ movies, you can even convert 2D HD video into 3D in real time with a push of the 3D button.

Pure Power

Featuring a powerful 2nd generation Intel® Core™ i7 quad core processor, NVIDIA® graphics, up to 8GB of RAM and a 7200rpm hard drive or solid state drive, this beast was bound for high performance. Pick an application, it'll handle it with ease. Editing Full HD video? No problem. Gaming? Just put the F Series in 2D mode and hang on. To round things out, an available 640GB6 hard drive provides plenty of room to store videos, music, photos and everything in between.

Sensational Picture and Sound

Be blown away by the LED-backlit Full HD 3D display. It delivers a crisper, brighter picture that will literally jump out at you when playing 3D content. And with the S-Force™ Front Surround 3D system, you can enjoy an extended stereo effect plus simulated 5-channel surround sound. It's the perfect complement to 3D for a completely immersive experience.

See the Light

Working late tonight? The backlit keyboard features LED illumination for a remarkable view of the keys. Perfect for typing in bed with the lights turned down, a pleasant glow shines through the characters themselves as well as between the keys—framing them with soft illumination that helps minimize typos. An ambient light sensor even automatically turns the backlight on or off based on the light around you.

Serious Connections

Along with the requisite USB ports and media slots, the new F Series has two USB 3.0 ports, allowing you to easily connect an external hard drive for faster and more efficient data transfer. It is also equipped with Bluetooth® technology. Connect compatible mice, headphones and other Bluetooth-enabled devices without having to hassle with cords and cables.

Features

Intel's Latest

Whether it's HD or 3D, multitasking or multimedia, this processor can handle it all with headroom to spare. The latest Intel® Core™ i7 quad core processor is complemented by Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.04 which adapts processor speed for more performance when you need it. And now with four cores available (as opposed to two), you get even more power readily available at your fingertips.

Graphical Greatness

Perfect for responsive game play or serious multitasking, dedicated graphics come courtesy of NVIDIA® GeForce® GT540M graphics with 1GB of VRAM. As if this PC didn't already have power to spare, these graphics help ensure that when it comes to heavy lifting, the new F series is ready to go.

New HD Web Camera

The new F Series features an HD web camera powered by an Exmor™ image sensor which allows for great low-light performance. Keep in touch with family, friends and coworkers, and enjoy a more casual conversation with face tracking technology, which allows the camera to automatically adjust focus and follow you as you move around while video chatting.

HDMI 3D Output

Effortlessly transmit your 2D or 3D content to a compatible HDTV via the HDMI™ output (cable sold separately). This means that any Full HD content you can enjoy on your PC—videos, Blu-ray Disc or 3D movies, internet TV—can be output in crystal-clear resolution for an even more immersive experience.

Connect to Sony

Forget purchasing additional accessories to help navigate menus and options within your PS3™ system, connected BRAVIA® television or Blu-ray Disc™ player. Sony's Remote Keyboard bridges the gap and allows you to wirelessly pair your VAIO® PC's keyboard and touchpad with a bevy of Sony connected devices and use it to quickly and easily navigate menus, browse the internet and enter text.
