Optimises The Architecture Of The Heat Sink
At its core, the VAIO TruePerformance optimises the architecture of the heat sink, thus maintaining higher performance for a longer period of time by increasing CPU power limits and more efficiently eliminating processor heat.
The new S13 has a new cooler with thicker vent, a new fan system with higher heatdispersing capability and a new module design to ensure stable and high-capacity operation of the processor.
Extraordinary Performance
The 3 rd-generation SSD
The S11 and S13, which comes with a professional-grade PCIe SSD storage (with an M.2 interface), is six times faster than conventional SATA SSD. The new SSD offers a faster and crispier experience in launching applications, as well as reading and writing data.

Thin and lightweight body
The S11 and S13 are incredibly light, at 0.85kg and 1.06kg, respectively, and thin (15mm). It feels light whether it is held in hand or put into a back pack.
The S11 adopts carbon fiber chassis, while S13 adopts magnesium alloy chassis. Both offers sturdy protection from all angles. It remains light in weight while offering the same stiffness, thus achieving the remarkable light weight of the S11 (at 0.85kg) and S13 (at 1.06kg).
* Weights vary depending on configuration and manufacturing variability.
