Sony have been creating laptop computers now for as long as I can remember and their flagship range, the Z Series has been attracting the attention of aficionados for many years. Today we are looking at a fully specified Z Series system with Core i7, full 1080p 13.1 inch screen, 8 GB of DDR3 memory, Bluray drive, backlit keyboard, Raid SSD and power media dock with AMD HD6650 discrete graphics. This is only for the demanding enthusiast who desires a superportable machine, without making compromises.
When it comes to actually buying a laptop, I tend to opt for a superportable computer as I hate traveling with a heavy 17 inch machine. My current machine of choice is the IBM ThinkPad X1, as it delivers a bulletproof chassis, with class leading keyboard and nippy Core i5 processor. I also admire the 11 inch Macbook Air, it has a better screen than the ThinkPad X1, but feels a lot slower, with weaker battery life.
The review product today is more than twice the price of either of these systems, but has a seriously hardcore list of specifications. The VGPPRZ20A/B.CEK BluRay Power Dock adds £459.00 to the overall price, which brings the total to £2,336.99 inc vat.

well thats amazing, but the price is just madness. Wish I could afford to burn 2.5k on a laptop mind you 🙂
its certainly state of the art, but I cant see many people paying that for a superportable. macbook air is much better priced
Fran, get a grip, the macbook air is a toy compared to that machine. the apple computers are pretty naff, they look good.
that sony is one of the best machines on the market right now
