Sony Vaio Z
The Sony Vaio Z is a strange creature indeed. It's got the best specs you will ever see on a 13-inch notebook in 2011, with a full powered Intel Core i7-2640M (2.8GHz) and a high resolution full HD 1980 x 1080 pixels resolution display. But that's not the most amazing thing about this notebook It's got an Ultrabook form factor, and measures only 16.65mm thin in a 1.17kg, carbon fiber body. And that's not all. It also comes with a Power Media Dock, that basically turns this svelte little machine into a multimedia powerhouse. This dock has all the ports you can imagine, is a Blu-ray player, and even has a capable mid-range AMD Radeon HD 6650M graphics card that lets you expand your working desktop space to an additional 3 external displays. It also features a 256GB solid-state drive that lets you boot up in mere seconds, and a massive 8GB of RAM that will ensure that you can do almost anything you throw at it. It is even 3G ready for internet connectivity anywhere.
