Still my favourite of all the Sony VAIO lines, the new Sony VAIO Z Series puts the performance of a desktop PC in an ultra-portable package and adds more power.

Key Features:

  • The ‘full flat’ body of the Sony VAIO Z Series measures just 330mm by 210mm, and is a mere 16.7mm thick.
  • Weighing barely more than a kilogram, the Sony VAIO Z Series is thinner and lighter than a standard Ultrabook.
  • Constructed from premium grade carbon fibre in a hexa-shell design.
  • The notebook’s high-resolution full HD 13.1″ display with anti-reflective glossy finish with colours covering 96% of the Adobe RGB spectrum
  • Intel Core i7 quad core CPU.
  • High-speed RAID-0 solid-state drive (SSD).
  • Battery life of up to 11 hours with the optional battery.
  • Rapid Wake + Eco technology significantly extends battery life when the notebook is in sleep mode.
  • Features USB charging for the first time, allowing the charging of devices on the go.
  • Power Media Dock with integrated Blu-ray Disc drive and built-in AMD Radeon HD 7670M with 1GB VRAM
  • Manage up to four displays (including the notebook screen) via HDMI and/or VGA output ports with the Power Media Dock.

The new Sony VAIO Z Series will be available in Asia Pacific at all Sony stores and authorised outlets from end June 2012 at a suggested retail price of S$3,999.

I’m sure you’ve already guessed, I’m a little of a fanboy when it comes to the new Sony VAIO Z 2011 model. Above is a tear-down video and design comparison of the new and old Sony VAIO Z made by SGNL, a Sony video channel featuring Sony products. The power, the speed, the slim sexy Sony VAIO Z. I’m in love.

And now, Sony engineer Shinji Oguchi puts it all back together again.
