VAIO® TZ Series Notebook PC

Ultra-portable, ultra-sleek, ultra-powerful

PREMIUM BLACK CARBON

The VAIO® TZ notebook features an eye-catching Premium Black carbonfiber casing with a special gel surface coating to showcase the gorgeous crossing patterns of the individual fibers. The rich texture it creates suggests a rustic yet urbane sophistication, all while providing superior durability. Given the handcrafted nature of this premium carbon-fiber casing, it is only available in limited quantity.

FLASH MEMORY

The VAIO® TZ notebook takes performance to a new level by utilizing flash memory in place of the typical spinning hard-disk drive memory found in most PCs. Faster and more reliable, flash memory provides a rapid boot-up and quicker access to applications while significantly reducing the risk of hard drive problems that result from its moving parts, an ideal feature for a travel notebook where knocks and sudden movements are par for the course.

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 to 7.5

hours of standard battery life

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.

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 2.6 lbs (with standard battery) with 4 to 7.5 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
