Hands on: Sony VAIO Z Series review
Posted by latest handheld | Posted in handheld | Posted on 02-07-2011-05-2008

Top of the list in Sony’s summer launch list is the Sony Z Series, a 1.2kg ultra-portable Intel Core i7 powerhouse with SSD storage (although, as you’ll see from our pics, the display model we tried had a Core i5).
The Sony VAIO Z Series UK release date is scheduled for late July 2011.
The nippy VAIO Z does have a little trick up its sleeve in the shape of add-on accessory Power Media Dock, featuring Intel’s Light Peak tech – marketed by Apple and Intel as Thunderbolt. But the actual port doesn’t look the same – Sony is just using a standard USB port rather than the DisplayPort implementation used by Apple.
We’ve got far more on that for you further down this piece.
This isn’t so much of a surprise, considering a DisplayPort connection would seem rather odd on a laptop such as Sony’s Z Series, and that USB finds its natural home in such a lightweight machine.
It’s an angular laptop that’s just 16mm deep, but there’s power to burn – we like the cut of its jib and, as with the VAIO S Series, think it’ll shape up as one of the power ultra-portables to beat.
Although we didn’t get chance to test it in the hustle and bustle of the demo room, Sony also claims its Quick Boot tech loads Windows 7 Professisonal up to 50 per cent quicker than rival machines.
Other power features are 8GB of DDR3 memory, as well as a 256GB SSD. And there’s also a slot for the 3G SIM of your choice.
The only disappointments are the extremely tappy keyboard and trackpad – with little give – as well as the on-board graphics. There’s no dedicated GPU, so you’re stuck with Intel’s reasonable Sandy Bridge HD 3000 graphics chip. However, the system also has extra expandable options.
Firstly, there’s a battery slice that can add seven hours of extra life, making 14 in total, just like that on the Sony VAIO S Series.
Then there’s the Power Media Dock. It connects to the VAIO Z using Intel’s Light Peak tech, known as Thunderbolt to Apple fans.
Really very strangely, Sony isn’t shouting about this at all and it wasn’t attached to the machine we looked at here. In fact, when we asked Sony representatives about the advance, we were told that the information in the press release was all that was available to tell us.
Pressing still further, Sony sent us this info, confirming Light Peak.
“What makes the VAIO Z series really unique is the Power Media Dock. Power Media Dock links to the VAIO Z via a high speed optical cable. This proprietary data connection was created in collaboration with Intel and is based on the architecture codenamed Light Peak.
“Power Media Dock contains a powerful dedicated graphics card, an optical drive and boosts connectivity options. Power Media Dock means you have less to weigh you down when you are on the move and have ultimate performance in the office when doing the most demanding tasks.”
So it’s a little odd that the press release says the Power Media Dock links to the Z Series via what Sony calls a “proprietary port” – why not have just come clean in the first place? The USB 3.0 port can also be used for standard USB devices when not being used for the dock.
The dock also features a Blu-ray drive (or DVD if you don’t want to pay as much) and extra display options boosted by the AMD Radeon HD 6650M.
The 13.1-inch anti-reflective display seems clear and crisp, but while it’s obviously not HD (1,600 x 900), the additional media dock can output at Full 1080p HD resolution over HDMI.
Here’s the laptop with the (unattached) Media Dock.

Hands on: Sony VAIO Y Series review
Posted by latest handheld | Posted in handheld | Posted on 29-06-2011-05-2008

Decked out here in a rather lurid pink, here’s our hands on: Sony VAIO Y Series review.
The new model replaces last year’s Y Series with a major change, moving on from the low voltage Intel Pentium processor and replacing it with one of AMD’s newish E-Series Fusion chips.
That brings both graphics and processing on the same chip – something AMD calls an APU. It also means HD video playback won’t be a problem through the HDMI port.
The model we looked at here packed the E-350 clocked at 2.6GHz, alongside a decent 4GB blob of memory. That should mean that the performance and graphics concerns of the last generation are eradicated.
AMD’s confused branding is out in force on the Y Series – Fusion is still being marketed under the AMD Vision brand, but because decent graphics are on board yet another sticker is required.
The AMD platform is designed to be low cost and Sony told TechRadar it would be pitching this model at those who want both portability and reasonable power but who don’t want to pay for a high-end power portable.
This type of machine is going to be increasingly where previous netbook purchasers are going to be looking. As Ruth Storey, the category marketing manager for Vaio in the UK said in the presenation of the new models, “the netbook market is declining at an alarming rate”.
Quite how much the Y Series will cost remains to be seen though we’d expect it to slot in where the old model left off at around £600.
Portability is the Y Series’ middle name and it clocks in at just 1.5Kg – a fine achievement for something that seems so capable.
As you’d expect from Sony, build quality is excellent, while the keyboard and trackpad are also to be praised – indeed, we preferred it to the keyboard on the VAIO Z Series we looked at yesterday.
Sony also cites a six-hour battery life for the Y Series, broadly in line with other estimates for the AMD E-Series platform.
The Sony VAIO Y Series UK release date is July 2011 and it’ll be available from Sony direct as well as Currys and PC World.

Slinky Sony Vaio Z Series unveiled with media dock
Posted by latest handheld | Posted in handheld | Posted on 28-06-2011-05-2008

Sony has revealed its latest Vaio laptop in the form of the Vaio Z Series; a 13.1-inch notebook complete with special media dock.
Every notebook and its USB cable is being lauded as super thin, super stylish and super light these days, and the Vaio Z Series is no exception.
But it actually is pretty slim with its ‘full flat’ body just 0.05mm thicker than the fattest point of a MacBook Air and weighs in at 1.2kg, which is about half the weight of the 15-inch MacBook Pro.
And styling… well, it’s made from carbon fibre, that’s got to count for something?
And now the actual tech…
What it lacks in eye-catching looks, it makes up for in grunt – what with its Intel Core i7 processor, DDR3 SDRAM and up to 256 SSD RAID storage plus built-in 3G connectivity on selected models.
The 13.1-inch high-res anti-reflective screen clocks up 1600×900 resolution in a 16:9 aspect ratio, perfect for displaying all that HD video you’re going to shoot with the, um, webcam.
There’s also a rather snazzy-sounding optional extra in the form of the Power Media Dock. As well as offering extra USB, VGA and HDMI ports, the dock offers high speed Light Peak data transfer – that’s the same thing that Apple is calling Thunderbolt, only Sony doesn’t want you to call it that, we can’t think why.
Shipping with Windows 8 Pro with service pack one, the Sony Vaio Z Series UK release date is scheduled for the end of July 2011, with pricing to be confirmed.
And now another laptop…
Also announced today is the Vaio Y Series, a tiny 11.6-inch notebook with an ergonomic touchpad, six hours of battery life (or so Sony reckons) and an HDMI-out for showing media content on a big-screen TV.
And if that wasn’t enough, there’s also the bright and perky Vaio E and C series to revere as well.

The Samsung Series 5 Chromebook, the first laptop to come running the Google Chrome OS, will go on sale in the UK this Friday 24 June.
The web-optimised notebook, boasting a 10-second start-up time and 8.5 hours of browsing battery life, will cost £349 for the WiFi-only version and £399 for the 3G-enabled model.
The super-slim (0.79cm), lightweight (1.49kg) Series 5 Chomebook comes with just 16GB of memory as it relies on cloud storage and web-based applications, negating the need for lots of storage space.
Full-sized
Samsung says the 12.1-inch devices has a full-sized keyboard which comes complete with a host of web-enabled keys, including a dedicated search key.
There’s also a 4-in-1 card-reader on-board, an oversized multi-touch trackpad, two USB ports, a HD webcam and it’s powered by an Intel Atom Core-Duo processor.
The confirmed release date is great news for tech fans eager to get their first look at the Chrome OS.
Both devices have been listed for pre-order since earlier this month, with Amazon touting 1st July and 1st August on-sale dates.
Now check out our Samsung Chromebook: 12 things you need to know feature to get you warmed up for Friday.
