In the summer of 2011 Sony introduced to the public a range of representative update notebooks Z. And this long awaited and eagerly by many, because to justify or destroy consumers’ expectations Japanese engineers had mass and weight. What was the result? Whether Sony will catch up in quality and preferences of Apple, is worthy of comparison with the production of an American company – to be determined.
Sony Vaio – line broad, almost any taste and any budget. Z in the name of the series – the letter which says. Last year’s triumphant journey to the notebook in this series of mobile electronics stores is admirable: despite the high cost devaysa, it was a breakthrough in technology, design and performance. Of course, belongs to the executive class great responsibility, because the price of income, depending on model, up to 120 thousand rubles. In 2011, the Japanese re-emerged in the vanguard of the manufacturers that supply the laptop elite business world. The new Z-series models are unique in many ways, and suggest retaining the Sony leadership in the segment of hi-end.
So, we have three options in the updated models of Z-series. The difference between them is only in set: low-end model is equipped with storage capacity of 128GB (256GB instead of the older), the elder – CPU Intel Core i7 (i5 against the younger) and RAM 8 GB (vs. 4 GB). No other differences, so that we can confidently speak of three representatives update the line as one. However, in accordance with labeling changes price laptops: The minimum equipment cost Z21X9R about 65 thousand, the maximum Z21Z9R – 112 000.
Sony Vaio Z21X9R (Z21) Vaio Z-Series
Notebook Sony Z21 series can entertain and eyes, and ambitions, and feelings. Thinnest body of carbon fiber, weight for weight, current netbooks, the unique compact – all for a constant companion, a business person. Unlike the UMPC with an apple on top of a stump, there is no smooth lines and glamorous roundness: a clear, thin, faces maximally narrowed. Carbon body only slightly trimmed with aluminum – keyboard, as the load element, and the working area.
Design Notebook Sony Vaio Z21 completely subordinate dimensions. With almost surreal combination 210h16, 65h310 mm with the highest performance engineers had to save every detail. True, the cunning trick they all did the same, as will be discussed below. In the meantime – the ease and subtle solution to make you forget about the legs – their role will now act as the bottom end cap during the opening of 90 degrees. It is ergonomically designed and beneficial for cooling is facilitated by removal of hot air.
For the sake of slim donated creators and swing keys. To some this may seem inconvenient, but the minimum run quickly get used to it – Apple has proven it. The touchpad is made entirely innovative: grooved surface, two large clickable button. There’s also a fingerprint reader – without in any way. Optical drive disappeared – just no place for ultrathin surfaces. But the ports are spaced freely – this is an undoubted advantage. Left – the vents, D-Sub and Kensington Lock. Right – the standard mini-jack, HDMI, usb 2.0, usb 3.0 (light peak, almost like Mac’s). Here, the power connector. Two card reader brought to the front edge. There is a trick – right under the lid of the RJ-45.
High-resolution screen 1600 x 900 and 13.1-inch diagonal worthy of praise, but praise expected. Start talking about the viewing angles in the hi-end class of sounds mauvais ton.
Upon completion of the comprehensive sniffing devices may conclude that, yes, stylish, thin and easily. Image model is really, really high-class. But your experience of tar ladle still pours: slim, despite the strength and quality materials, assembled “in a hurry.” Pretty ridiculous price tag and looks like a combination of backlash cover occurring squeaky hinges, bending the keyboard panel. Budget option tolerate this, the business – ever. It seems that the defects will be corrected quickly, will be obvious when the projected sales volume.
What are we going to “look inside, where she analyzer and dumatel” – that is, specifications for Sony Vaio Z21X9R, Z21Z9R and Z21V9R? And inside is the highest performance that could only fit in so compact body. Processor Intel Core i5 or i7, clock frequency of 2.3 GHz, 4 to 8 GB of RAM, hard drive SSD, integrated video Intel HD Graphics 3000. Of course, all communication interfaces are on board – did not have to sacrifice anything. And here is the promised trick: to a laptop docking station is attached as an external optical drive increased size. But in a kind of a surprise – the powerful discrete graphics card Radeon HD 6650M with DDR3 memory with 1 GB.
Thus, in combination with a docking station, we have a complete high-performance computer, which opens wide possibilities for connecting peripheral devices (three monitors can be connected without adapters), having all the communication ports, to the same thin and light. We can say – the dream of businessman. But Russian officials still arrange a diversion: a docking station would cost our citizens in the 25 thousand rubles. So shameful that Sony itself an application for free doukomplektovyvaet any configuration of laptops in this series. The Japanese offer to pay only the blue-ray, if one is needed.
