Among the VAIO Z Series’ best in class capabilities is a revolutionary 13.1” X-black LCD display.
Scratch-proofed and anti-glare, it delivers 100% true-to-life colour fidelity and extra wide 1600x900 resolution for deeper contrast and truly natural realisation.

With its carbon fibre casing the VAIO Z Series notebook weighs under 1.5kg, so it could hardly be easier to carry.
Carbon fibre is 30% lighter than traditional computer construction materials. Yet as you’d expect of a material more commonly used in aviation and Formula One, it is also 200% stronger.

The VAIO Z Series’ button, AC adaptor terminal and battery are all cleanly aligned along its elegant cylindrical spine.
This distinctive construction allows the jointed thickness of the screen and main body to be kept to an absolute minimum, accounting for its pristine portability.

VAIO Everywair wireless WAN* allows you seamless connectivity for uninterrupted, 3G wireless mobile broadband access across every time zone.
Even on the move you’ll stay in touch with clients, colleagues, friends and family. Experience the freedom of total connectivity.
All VAIO Z Series models include LED technology for longer battery life.
With up to five and a half hours of cable free computing, you can access email and the internet instantly, wherever and whenever you want, without the need for a hotspot.
The use of advanced new materials in Sony X-black LCD technology in the VAIO Z Series offers increased resistance to marks, as well as reproducing extreme details of the real wide 1600x900 resolution.

Peace of mind is standard on the VAIO Z Series. Its range of advanced security features includes fingerprint recognition, hard disc drive protection and TrustedTM Platform Module, preventing unauthorised access to data.
