Luxurious design, attractive looks, elegance, slim, good performance and of course a hefty price tag… Yes it does sound like a Sony Vaio laptop. This time it is the Sony Vaio VGN Z21ZN/X Laptop. This mobile computer has been designed to stand up boldly against knocks, jerks and shocks during travel. The keys are laid out well on the keyboard with ample space between them; which makes it convenient for people with large fingers to use.
Internally this portable PC is powered by the Intel Core 2 Duo 2.5GHz Processor. Enhancing processing speed is a 4GB DDR3 RAM. A card reader is as well present for memory expansion. There is a solid state drive with a capacity of 128GB too. A Blu Ray optical drive is also on board this device. This notebook is supposed to be the first to combine a Blu Ray drive and an SSD in a single mobile computer. The 13.3” glossy TFT LED back-lit display of this workstation offers a resolution of 1600 x 900 pixels. This is supposed to be the highest resolution offered among cheap laptops of similar size. The NVIDIA GeForce 9300M graphics card has been employed too for taking care of motion pictures. The Microsoft Windows Vista Business OS comes pre-installed in this small laptop.
Like any other notebook, the Sony Vaio VGN Z21ZN/X Notebook also supports wired Ethernet, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. The best part is that 3G capability is offered as well. 2 USB ports, a Firewire port, an HDMI port, an Ethernet connector and a 0.3 Megapixel web camera are all built into this mobile PC. A long 9 hour life is also expected from the battery of this device. A weight of 1.5kg, adds to the portability factor of this ultramobile PC. Now comes the part hated by most with Sony Vaio Laptops – the cost. Like any other Sony Vaio Laptop, the VGN Z21ZN/X is expensive too. It costs about £2500 in the UK. However, this is one of those laptops that are suitable for both multimedia usage, gaming and business computations. It also offers specs that are quite unique. Hence the heavy price tag.
