Ultra - portable, ultra - sleek, ultra - powerful
ULTRA - PORTABLE AND DURABLE
The luxuriously sleek and ultra - portable VAIO ® TZ notebook boasts an
incredibly small and lightweight form - factor that features an especially
robust carbon - fiber casing for enhanced durability. This best - in - class PC
weighs only 2.7 lbs , is less than 1”thin and features an incredible 4.5 to
8.5 hours of standard battery life .
LONG BATTERY LIFE
Sony’s innovative power - saving technology combined with Intel ®
Centrino ® Duo processor technology efficiently manages power resources
to deliver an amazing 4.5 to 8.5 hours of standard battery life . And for
those times when you’ll be on the go all day, rely on the optional large
capacity battery for 7.0 to 13.0 hours of power to get you through.
EXCEPTIONAL LCD
The VAIO ® TZ notebook features an 11.1" WXGA widescreen display with
Sony’s original XBRITE - HiColor™LCD technology with white LED backlight.
Sony’s innovative backlight technology offers lower power consumption
for improved battery life and provides incredibly high brightness levels,
amplifying colors and creating clear, crisp pictures that truly “pop”off the
LCD. The result: an amazing 72% color saturation for deeper blacks,
brighter whites, true - to - life color and razor - sharp detail. And, with the anti -
reflective coating to minimize reflection while providing a wide viewing
angle, you’ll enjoy a beautifully clear image from almost any angle. It’s
the ideal way to present your work or watch a DVD when you’re on the go.
VISUAL COMMUNICATION
Backed by Sony’s engineering expertise in miniaturization, the VAIO ® TZ
notebook features a wafer - like MOTION EYE ® camera and microphone
built into its 4.7mm razor - thin LCD panel. Stay connected to colleagues,
friends and family with real - time video conferencing whether you’re in the
office, at home or on the go with the TZ, a true marvel of technology.
INNOVATIVE KEYBOARD DESIGN
The VAIO ® TZ notebook features a thoughtfully redesigned keyboard that
showcases an extreme attention to detail. Designed for ease of use and a
smart, sophisticated look, the individual keys are slightly raised above an
attractive piano - black bezel layer producing a user - friendly touch and feel
to the keyboard that creates an improved typing experience. In addition,
an extra support layer has been added below the bezel to increase the
structural integrity of the keyboard and add stability to the keys, giving
them an unwavering up - down motion and making for quieter typing.
Details like these not only enhance the look and feel of the TZ notebook,
but also reveal the design intelligence and innovation that only Sony can
offer.
At 2.7 lbs (with standard battery) with 4.5 to 8.5 hours of standard battery
life and durable carbon - fiber casing, the VAIO ® TZ notebook is built for
ultra - portable performance. And with an 11.1 ” display with XBRITE - HiColor ™
LCD technology, an Intel ® Core™2 Duo processor and 802.11 a/b/g/n
wireless LAN technology you’ll be able to stay connected and productive
wherever you find yourself.
