The Sony Vaio Z-Series is a thin and light with a mission: to prove that a tiny – but expensive – laptop can run Windows 7 and almost anything you throw at it like a champ.
When I opened the Sony Z-Series’ plain brown box, my heart fell. “Another ultra-portable,” I thought, “another sad-making thin-and-light without power or verve.” But I fired it up, used it for a solid week, and came out on the other end convinced that Sony still has what it takes to make a nice laptop.
