Sony VAIO SZ Series

vaio sz

Sony VAIO SZ series offers the optimal compromise between size, weight, and screen and keyboard size. Best balance between portability and usability. It has all of the features adapt to a business user’s mobile computing requirements, from an integrated microphone and Webcam to a fingerprint scanner and HDD Password Protection with G-Sensor™ for security, not to mention a powerful hardware feature such as an Intel Core Duo processor and an Nvidia graphics card.

Sony VAIO SZ comes in two model, standard and premium series. Both series offering a robust case with a sleek design to increase user mobility as well as protectiveness. Its standard series was enclosed in magnesium case and its premium sibling enclosed in brushed-black carbon case. The premium series has lighter weight since it has Razor-thin LCD Panel (Starting at 3.7 lbs) compared to the standard series (Starting at 4.1 lbs).

CNET reviewer gives Sony VAIO SZ Series a very good note (7.5 out of 10). The good point comes from its sleek design; carbon-fiber case; large, comfortable keyboard; bright, high-quality display; integrated Webcam and microphone; solid performance and decent battery life. The bad feature is very expensive; lacks multiformat card reader found on competitive models; unremarkable speakers (perhaps you should add harman kardon speaker). The bottom line: This VAIO SZ series eminently portable without sacrificing a readable screen or a usable keyboard, and it incorporates all of the features and components, and most of the connections, that business users need.
