Sony VAIO VPC-Z117GG Pro Reviews

The screen is beautiful. Borderline jaw-dropping. Packing a full 1080p display into a 13-inch panel means that the picture is razor sharp. But it's also bright, which makes watching HD content a joy. Carrying this around in a bag while out and about, you'll hardly notice it's there. The design is no-frills, but Sony has pulled this off in such a way that it isn't bland or utilitarian, like an enterprise computer. It's full of sharp, often acute, edges. Oddly enough, I found myself liking the dock. For most people, they won't need the extra horsepower on a whim, but when people want to edit an elaborate video project, or embark on an epic, pixel-intensive fragfest, they generally have a set, singular location for such activities. So the dock works.

Sony's VAIO Z sports a brand new refresh to its internals, this time with Intel's latest Core i7 processors and the addition of a Quad SSD system for speed junkies to trip out on.
