Sony VAIO 217S is a state-of-the-art laptop for home users for watching and recording TV, viewing DVD movies, listening to music or gaming. The S-Master AV Docking Station transforms this laptop into a true multimedia entertainment system with capabilities normally associated with desktop machines. Its high-quality TV tuner and MPEG encoder lets you watch and record TV, while the Sony own S-Master digital amplifier and specially engineered speakers provide rich, powerful audio. With the docking station, the A217S can fairly claim to be a replacement for your desktop, hi-fi system and VCR. Subtle and continuous ergonomic enhancement is provided by the Auto Luminance Sensor, which monitors ambient lighting conditions and automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen for comfortable viewing and battery saving at home or in the office.
