*1 CPU speed will be reduced under certain operating conditions. *2 By removing the pre-installed 256MB memory module and adding two 512MB memory module. *3 High-speed/Full-speed/Low speed compatible. *4 Supports high speed data transfer with parallel interface. Does not support MagicGate copyright protection technology. *5 MagicGate copyright protection technology cannot be applied to Memory Stick PRO. *6 Deploying IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g products on the same wireless network may reduce the communication speed due to radio interference. Taking this into consideration, the IEEE 802.11g products are designed to reduce the communication speed to ensure communication with IEEE 802.11b products. When the communication speed is not as fast as expected, changing the wireless channel on the access point may increase the communication speed. *7 The communication speed varies depending on the distance between communication devices, existence of obstacles between such devices, the device configuration, the radio conditions, and the software in use. In addition, communication may be cut off depending on the radio conditions. *8 Estimated battery life (under JEITA Battery Run Time Measurement Method (ver.1.0).) When the power-saving mode is on. Actual battery life may vary with different operating conditions and settings. For further details, please visit vaio-online.sony.com *9 Warranty conditions may vary by region.
