Power and portability.
With three S Series models all sporting a deceptively-sleek physique, there's something for everyone. Looking for a powerhouse performer perfect for gaming? An available Core i7 quad core processor and up to 2GB of VRAM make the 15.5" just for you. Seeking sophistication and good looks? 13.3" Premium models combine a carbon fiber chassis, 2GB VRAM graphics and the option to include a 512GB solid state drive. Want the beauty of magnesium alloy, 1GB VRAM graphics plus an LED backlit display? The 13.3" S Series is the perfect choice.
Big, bold battery life.
Double your battery life with an optional large-capacity sheet battery that provides up to 10 hours of combined battery life. Say goodbye to the bulky long-life batteries of the past—this one attaches seamlessly to the bottom and won't weigh you down. When it's time to charge up, just plug it directly into the power source—it'll charge on its own, so you can keep using your laptop without interruption.
