Product Specifications

Light weight, feature-heavy. The VAIO VGN-FZ130E/B is thin and light but doesn't skimp out on the things that make computing fun. Featuring a 15.4" widescreen LCD with XBRITE-ECO technology and embedded A/V controls for one-touch access to your music, movies and pictures, this notebook delivers the goods. Backed by Intel Centrino Duo processor technology and the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, this lightning-fast, powerful PC is packed with a built-in camera and microphone for video chatting with friends and family from across the globe. The thin-and-light VAIO FZ notebook packs big power and even bigger entertainment into a small, portable package. This unique PC combines all the benefits of a 15.4" widescreen display with the dimensions or "footprint" of a much smaller notebook. The VAIO FZ is designed to maximize LCD space with advanced space-saving engineering techniques implemented throughout the chassis, including a reconfigured battery and motherboard design. The result is a brilliant, 15.4" widescreen display in the body of a portable, thin-and-light notebook. Imagine having the ability to enjoy your entertainment on your notebook without ever booting up. The VAIO FZ notebook with A/V Instant Mode lets you kick off your entertainment with a single push of a button. Go straight to watching a movie, playing music, or viewing photos without ever booting-up the operating system, thereby conserving a significant amount of battery life. Convenient, built-in A/V control buttons also let you play, pause, rewind, stop, eject and control volume all with one-touch ease.
