| Born from a legacy of engineering innovation, the all new Sony VAIO Z
Series introduces the next evolution in ultra-portable laptops by
featuring second-generation Intel Core processors and a fully powered
media dock with AMD graphics and more. The VAIO Z Series combines all
the elements of design, performance, and mobility into a thin and
lightweight 13.1 inch profile--making it the most powerful ultra mobile
VAIO PC yet.

Simple yet bold, the all new Z Series features a new fully flat
design concept that abandons traditional bulky batteries, unnecessary
seams and protruding ports. A 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.
It's powered by a second-generation Intel Core i5 dual-core processor
("Sandy Bridge"), which provides breakthrough digital media management,
content creation, and 3D gaming capabilities. With updated Intel Turbo
Boost Technology 2.0, the latest Core i5 increases speed automatically
for whatever you're doing.
Additionally, this VAIO Z laptop includes award-winning Intel
Wireless Display functionality, which enables you to enjoying great
image clarity and sound on your HDTV without plugging in any cables.

Leveraging the latest innovations in lithium polymer technology, the
Z Series battery supplies up to 8 hours of on-the-go power. And with an
all-new optional large capacity sheet battery, which attaches directly
to the included standard capacity battery and works in tandem with it,
you can get up to 16 hours of unplugged productivity.
This Sony VAIO Z laptop (model Z213GX/B) in black comes with a 128 GB
solid state drive (SSD), which delivers quicker boot-ups, faster
application launches and overall enhanced performance. And since solid
state drive technology has no moving parts, you get a more durable
storage solution less prone to physical damage. It also features 4 GB of
installed RAM, Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics processor, HDMI output
for connecting to compatible HDTVs or monitors, built-in speakers with
Dolby Home Theater audio enhancement, and the included external Power
Media Dock with a slot-loading Blu-ray Disc drive for viewing movies in
crystal-clear HD resolution.
This Sony VAIO Z comes pre-installed with the Microsoft Windows 7
Home Premium operating system (64-bit version). You'll also experience
new ways to deliver your best work with Office Starter 2010.
Key Features
The Perfect Pair--VAIO Z and Power Media Dock
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.
Utilizing the latest I/O architecture, the Power Media Dock is a
performance factory delivering the horsepower your day demands through
one unique and familiar port. Featuring a powerful AMD Radeon HD 6650M
graphics card with 1 GB of video memory (VRAM), you'll experience
premium visual quality and intense HD performance without placing huge
demands on the CPU. In addition to a slot-loading SuperMulti CD/DVD
drive, the Power Media Dock includes a USB 3.0 port, HDMI output, and
more.
Paired together, the Z Series transforms into the ultimate
workstation and can even support up to 4 Full HD displays. When it's
time to hit the road, simply detach the dock and go.
Brilliant LED-Backlit Display
Developed by the same people you trust to engineer amazing flat-panel
HDTVs, the VAIO Z Series laptop features exceptional picture quality.
The 13.1-inch (1600 x 900) widescreen display includes an LED backlight
that helps ensure a bright display while conserving battery power. Plus,
with an anti-glare coating and 100 percent color saturation, you'll
enjoy a wider spectrum of color for more true-to-life images with less
light reflection.
Convenient Backlit Keyboard
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.
Intel Wireless Display Capable
With integrated Intel Wireless Display technology, you'll be able to
cut down on the cluttered mass of wires surrounding your work station
and stop crowding around your laptop screen to enjoy vivid pictures,
video and other content. You'll enjoy great image clarity and sound
without sacrificing quality and without wires. Simply connect an
optional adapter to your TV, follow a few simple steps, and you're off
and running. Set it up once, and sharing your screen is as easy as
pushing a button.
Stream videos, photos and music from your hard drive, home network or
the Internet straight to your HDTV--easily and wirelessly. You don't
need to scramble for special cabling, or litter your living room, to
connect your laptop to a home entertainment center and reap all the
benefits.
