Absolute power. Absolute mobility.Born from a legacy of engineering innovation, the all new Z Series introduces the next evolution in ultra-portable laptop design and technology. Building on the idea that an ultra-portable laptop shouldn't have to compromise performance for a small form factor, the Z Series incorporates a bold new concept - the Power Media Dock™. Featuring powerful AMD Radeon™ HD graphics with 1GB VRAM, optional slot loading Blu-ray Disc™ optical drive, a bevy of high-speed ports and the power to support up to 3 additional displays, the Power Media Dock™ is a performance factory that delivers the horsepower your workday demands - all through one connection. But when it's time to hit the road or head to a meeting, the featherlight 2.6 lbs. / .66 inch thin chassis is always ready to go without slowing you down. Simply detach the dock and go. Backed by 2nd generation Intel® Core i7 processor technology, loads of memory, fast solid state drives, and integrated Intel® HD graphics - you'll still enjoy the power you need to tackle your day head on. |
Double your battery lifeLeveraging the latest innovations in lithium polymer technology, the Z Series battery integrates into the PC and conforms to the contours of the chassis offering a thinner battery profile while still being removable and supplying up to 8 hours of standard battery life. This concept even extends to the all-new large capacity sheet battery, and leaves behind traditionally bulky and protruding long life batteries of the past.
The all new sheet battery attaches directly to the standard capacity battery and by working in tandem with it, you'll enjoy up to 16 hours of total combined battery life |

On the cutting edge of SSDFor maximum performance and ample storage, the Z Series features dual channel SSD with RAID technology (select models). RAID technology coordinates between the two solid state drives to keep them operating simultaneously at optimal speed. The result is quicker boot-ups, faster application launches and overall enhanced performance for true professional use. And of course, since SSD technology includes no moving parts, you get a more durable storage solution less prone to physical damage. |
Enhance the security of the InternetSymantec VIP Access is a powerful, additional layer of security that links your PC to the online account, VPN or application that you select, decreasing the ability of thieves to access your accounts and information from another PC1. Created jointly by industry leaders Intel® and Symantec, and available through select partner websites, VIP helps ensure that only you can access your online accounts and websites by adding a second layer of password protection. The identity protection technology is built into the processors of Z Series laptops so there's no extra hardware to buy and no tokens or other "credentials" to lug around, forget, or lose. Protecting yourself online has neverbeen easier. |

A revolution in Sony® VAIO® designA seamless piece of brushed aluminum milled to precise specifications creates the core of the Z Series chassis to offer firm structural integrity. The aluminum core is then encased in a high grade carbon fiber matrix - the same material used to build formula 1 race cars - to add flexibility and durability without adding extra weight. Colors include: |
Built-in Mobile BroadbandA perfect complement to its compact easy-to-handle size, select VAIO® Z Series laptops feature integrated Mobile Broadband so you can travel light and stay connected. Convenient and easy-to-use, Mobile Broadband provides a secure connection to browse the Internet and check email when you're away from the office or home. Simply click to connect without the need for a PC card, USB dongle or other accessory. Plus, the Z Series offers you a choice between carriers. Be it Verizon, Sprint or AT&T, if you're always on the go, it makes good financial sense to ditch the hotel network fees, leave behind unsecure Wi-Fi® hotspots and activate Mobile Broadband Built-in on your VAIO® Z Series laptop. |

Convenient backlit keyboardPractical innovation is a cornerstone of Sony's vision, and our keyboards are no exception. Designed for ease of use, the Z Series laptop features precisely engineered keys to create a comfortable and intuitive typing experience. And to make it even easier to find the right keys - whether typing day or night, in the dark or light - an LED backlight creates a pleasant glow, framing the individual keys and illuminating the lettering. |
