Welcome
Thank you for purchasing your Sony VAIO Slimtop™ LCD Computer! Your new 
computer is a superb blend of high technology and easy-to-use functionality. This 
user guide contains information about the applications included with your 
system, contact information for software vendors, and the specifications for your 
computer.
Choosing an Ergonomic Location for Your 
Computer
Before you get started, find the best location for your new computer. Here are 
some things to consider when planning your workspace:
Stable work surface — 
Use a stable work surface large enough to support 
the computer and other peripheral equipment.
Ventilation — 
Leave at least eight inches of space on the left and back sides 
of your computer to enable proper ventilation.
Placement of the keyboard, mouse, and other input devices — 
Place 
your keyboard, mouse, and other input devices so that your arms and hands 
are in a relaxed, comfortable position. The keyboard should be directly in 
front of you. Adjust the level of the keyboard so that your lower arms are 
parallel to the floor. Keep your wrists in a relaxed position when you are 
using the keyboard—not angled up or down. Use the palmrest only briefly, 
for resting. While typing, never use the palmrest or rest your hands on the 
table. Position the mouse at the same level as the keyboard. Hold the mouse 
with a relaxed hand, and use your whole arm to move it. Take breaks during 
sessions with your computer. Excessive use of the mouse or a joystick may 
strain muscles or tendons.
Furniture and posture — 
Sit in a chair with good back support and 
armrests. Adjust the level of the chair so your feet are flat on the floor. A 
footrest may make you more comfortable. Sit with relaxed, upright 
posture—avoid slouching forward or leaning far backward.
Viewing angle of the display — 
Position the display 18 to 26 inches 
directly in front of you, with the top of the screen at or a little below eye 
level. Use the display’s tilting feature to find the best position. You can
