Product Specifications

With its durable magnesium casing, hafnium-based Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 802.11n wireless LAN technology and built-in camera, the VAIO FZ notebook has the performance and mobility features you need to stay connected and productive whether in the office or offsite with clients. The thin-and-light VAIO FZ notebook packs big power into a durable magnesium alloy form factor. Designed to maximize LCD space with advanced space-saving engineering techniques implemented throughout the chassis, including a reconfigured battery and motherboard design, this PC combines the benefits of a 15.4" widescreen display with the dimensions or "footprint" of a much smaller notebook. The result is a brilliant 15.4" widescreen LCD in the body of a very portable and powerful notebook.
