The compact VAIO Z comes with built-in Intel Iris graphics and has battery life up to 15.5 hours. It is 16.8 mm thick and weighs 1.34 kg. VAIO Z also features InstantGo technology that will allow it to return from standby state instantly.It also comes with a digitizer stylus.
The hinge on the back of the Z's chassis allows users to transform it from laptop to pseudo-tablet as per their convenience. It is available for preorder at $1,600.

Anoop MathewOften looked upon once as the alternative to Apple's Macbook in the PC world, hardcore users of Vaio like myself are keeping our fingers crossed for a resurrection. Lets face it, for a few years no other company used to have sexier designs of laptops than Vaio.
