Product Specifications

The VAIO SZ-Series offers everything the professional needs. The new-generation X-black enhanced screen is lighter and thinner than ever before, while still delivering a vivid widescreen picture. The finish is fine-textured, eye-catching and obviously out of the ordinary. A meticulously brushed aluminum palm rest provides the final touch.
