Sony VAIO S Series Laptop: More Life Changing Than Pizza Rolls

If you think that attractive girl you totally should have asked out back in college looks good in her online pics, just wait until you see them in full HD 1080p -- when, thanks to Sony’s newly unveiled, lightweight 15” VAIO S Series Laptop, you'll realize that, no, maybe it's best you didn't totally ask her out!

Starting at just $999, this sleek magnesium-and-aluminum beast (avail in 15” and 13” models) tucks in a high-performance second-gen Intel Core i7 processor and Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 for rapid-fire multitasking, so you can game, play music, crush the web, and do something actually productive all at once. Throw on the massive-capacity, small-sized sheet battery to be freed from the plug for up to 14 hours -- enough time for a flight from NYC to Rome, or just a lot of roaming. Then there's a performance switch that allows easily switching from battery-conserving Stamina mode to max-power Speed mode, which fortunately doesn’t require you to jump a bus over an inexplicably incomplete highway.

Get more specs on both the 15" and 13" Sony VAIO S models -- regardless of which one you choose, they'll both look good from afar, and far from bad up close.
