How to select the right Sony Vaio laptop



Z series



The Vaio Z is the premium business thin-and-light from Sony. Its predecessor, the Vaio SZ series, was the first to sport both integrated and discrete graphics cards under the hood. A physical switch would allow the user to select between the battery-saving integrated GPU and the powerful dedicated video processor. However, switching between them would require a system reboot.

With the new Centrino 2 platform supporting Hybrid Graphics, the new Z series is capable of switching modes on-the-fly. As a corporate machine, the Vaio Z also comes with the fingerprint sensor/TPM security chip combo as well as an excellent scratch-resistant display which can render the entire 100 percent of the NTSC color gamut for accurate image rendering. With a tough carbon-fiber chassis, this Vaio can withstand drops of up to 90cm for added peace of mind.

Target market: Business and fashion users.

Every time I look at the Sony lines of computers, notebooks and desktops, I pull away when I see the poor specs and poor build quality in ratio to their price.
