2021 Vaio Z Review

Lisa Gade reviews the Vaio Z, an unusually powerful 14” Ultrabook with a 3D carbon fiber casing. The Vaio Z isn’t exactly an Ultrabook because it has a significantly more powerful Intel 11th gen Core i7 35 watt CPU rather than the usual 15 watt Ultrabook CPU. The 1 kg laptop has a wide gamut matte 4K display (overseas will likely see a full HD option available too). Thanks to PCIe 4, it has extremely fast SSD speeds. Thunderbolt 4, Intel Wi-Fi 6, a fingerprint scanner and Windows Hello IR camera with presence detection are standard. This is the most expensive Vaio model (the company is no longer owned by Sony). It somewhat competes with the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Nano that we reviewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO19amhwpVI .
