Sony VAIO VGN-Z11WN/B 13.1in Notebook
We take a look at Sony's portable all-rounder, the VAIO Z Series.
As a portable notebook for the power user we can think of little better than the Sony VAIO Series Z. It delivers prodigious processing power and very good battery life in a machine that's exceedingly portable and very useable thanks to its sumptuous...

Sony VAIO VGN-Z11WN/B notebook
The fact that Sony hasn't given in to market forces and released its own netbook is proof that it's core focus remains in fully featured, but ultraportable, notebooks. The latest such model is the Sony VAIO VGN-Z11WN/B, which weighs in at a highly...
Great design, amazing battery life
Average performance
The Sony VAIO VGN-Z11WN/B is a stunning notebook for anyone who needs performance and battery life from their portable. Sure, you're paying for these features but there currently isn't another notebook on the market that can touch for the VAIO for...

Sony VAIO Z review
At the best part of two grand, Sony's thin Vaio Z needs more than size on its side
The price may look painful, but for the beautiful screen and unique dock it's almost – almost – worth it.

Sony - Vaio Z
Sony's Vaio Z is not for the faint hearted in monetary terms, but if you can stump up the required cash it is an absolute dreamboat of a computer. Small, light, beautifully made and brimming with ...
The Sony Vaio Z is a great looking little laptop with lots of alluring features. In the end the battery life lets it down, and the price feels astronomical. But that doesn't stop us wanting one.

REVIEW: Sony VAIO Z
When it comes to choosing a business laptop some people have it easy. In larger corporates you get what you are given, and while you might lust after whatever computer the person sitting on next to you on the train has, you know that you will have to...
If you have the money and can live with the middling battery life, then the VAIO Z is a desirable laptop. But if economising is a key factor for you at the moment, you may want to shop around. You’ll probably end up with a less powerful small format...

Sony - Vaio VGN-Z11WN/B
Sony's Vaio Z series is not for the faint hearted. Even the least expensive notebook in the range will set you back £1,399 inc. VAT and if you want the top notch specifications you are able ...
The screen of this notebook is superb and the overall design standards and capabilities are high. If you can afford it, the Vaio Z is an outstanding machine.

Sony VAIO VGN-Z11WN/B
A 13.1in widescreen beauty from Sony but, asks Sasha, can it justify its stratospheric price tag?

Sony VAIO Z review: Sony VAIO Z
Sony VAIO Z
An upscale 13-inch laptop to give even the MacBook Air a run for its money, ; is fast, slim, and light, and includes a docking station with an optical drive and discrete graphics.
Even though this updated version of the Vaio Z is less expensive than the previous model we reviewed, it's still a premium-priced laptop. We'd almost rather skip the GPU dock and hit a more ultrabook-style price.
With slim 13-inch SSD laptops now well under $1,000, Sony's expensive, high-end Z series laptop is a tough sell, although the long-life slice battery and unique GPU/optical dock help make its case.
