Vaio Z - An Exclusive Blend of Ultra-light and Ultra-powerful
World's First Contoured Carbon Fiber Laptop
The highlight of VAIO Z is undeniably its carbon fiber build. Take a look at the incredible engineering behind the scene, and you know why.
VAIO implements a new 3D molding technology to produce the world's first 3-D contoured carbon fiber laptop chassis instead of just the lid and bottom as seen in previous carbon fiber laptops like the Thinkpad series from Lenovo.
Not only does this engineering make it super light (2.32 lbs or 1.06 kg) and unyielding, but it can also take a beating. The ultra-thin laptop passed extreme testing like drop, flex tests, bending, and qualified for the MIL standard (MIL-STD-810 H).
And no surprise did the manufacturers also pull off an appealing design. VAIO Z bears a futuristic, unearthly feel of carbon fiber. The brushed finish on the lid and minimalist VAIO logo add heaps of style to the super lightweight Ultrabook.
