Performance is the main characteristic of the most sophisticated Sony VAIO notebook to date. But it cannot be achieved without Power Media Dock, an expansion module that connects to VAIO via optical cable. But also the description tab on them.

Sony Vaio Z 2011 strengths:
  •  Slim design;
  •  SSD storage, which offers very good system speed overall;
  •  Good autonomy;
  •  Illuminated keyboard;
  •  Quality materials.

Sony Vaio Z 2011 weaknesses:
  • Expensive in my opinion;
  • Poor sound quality (it has a stereo system, but tiny speakers).

I am amazed by the evolution of the Sony Vaio Z in 2 years. First experience with a Z-series laptop happened at the beginning of 2011. Then I had the pleasure to test Sony Vaio Z13, a very good model for that time.

Since 2010 Sony has started to pay more attention to design and lead all to perfection for the segment of business laptops. The model launched in 2010 weighed less than 1.4 kg and come equipped with a powerful configuration based on Intel Core i7-640m.

There was a brief pause in the evolution of Vaio Z range model, in 2011 has started without the key marketed products. No one knew exactly why Sony delayed the launch of a new generation of business laptops. I understood only in autumn.

Sony Vaio Z 2011 came completely changed from what we expected. This amazing laptop has a display of 13,1 inch and a resolution of 1600 x 900. With its SSD hard disk of 256GB this Sony Vaio is the perfect combination of performance and elegance.

Emphasis was placed on simplicity, portability and performance. A business laptop should be very easy to be omniscient in fellow travelers, to be maneuvered easily and to fit in the bag as easy as possible.

The new VAIO Z meets all the conditions mentioned above and leads to extreme the Sony design, with a perfectly flat body and a tough, lightweight carbon fiber. Weighs about 1.2 kg and measures 16.65mm, in this is very well competing with other ultrabook. May be the ideal travel partner for businessmen who need computing power and portability.

The shell is carbon fiber and swears a metal frame, but a big minus is that can be scratched quite quickly.

In this case we find a configuration based on a powerful Intel Core i7-2620M Sandy Bridge. The components are specially created and don't have place to breathe. Shinji Oguchi and Nobuyasu Nozawa provided details about how the new Sony Vaio Z is built, you can find videos of it all over the internet.

I have some things to tell about its design. Personally I was fascinated by its construction and design. The model is slim, simple and compact. Vaio Z 2011 was specifically designed to operate with a attached battery. Hence the two small pins located on the rear edge of the cover. When the battery is not attached, the laptop can support it at the opening of the cover, with the role to raise the body of the portable easily and contribute to ventilation. The bottom two slots are fans that are part of the cooling system.
