    Hey guys im about to go on an airplane flight and i was wondering if there is a way to turn off the wireless radios. I know they always ask you to turn them off during the flight for fear of the wifi/BT interfering with flight instruments.

    My last laptop just had a switch to turn em off, does Sony provide any option like this in their control center maybe? iv been looking around but haven't seen anything yet.

    If you are running Windows 8, there is a Airplane switch.
    If you are running Windows 7 or earlier, install VAIO Smart Network, then you will be able to turn on or off wifi/BT
