Sony VAIO VGN-Z21ZN/X notebook

 

Sony's VAIO range has offered some of the most impressive ultraportable laptops over the past few years, from the tiny VAIO TZ and TT, to the larger and more powerful VAIO SZ. The 13.1-inch VAIO Z21ZN/X is the latest, and sits at the top of the VAIO...

All-day battery life, desktop-replacement performance, exotic materials

One of the most expensive laptops currently on sale

There’s no doubt the Sony VAIO Z-series is expensive; too expensive for the regular consumer, and for most those extra tenths in performance, features, mobility will be impossible to justify. The fact remains, however, that it’s also one of the best...

A lovely machine that meets my needs well, The SSD (my first) is very fast and the back-lit keyboard great for after dark working.

Too few USB sockets!

Sony Vaio VGN-Z21ZN

 

Contained a defective graphics card, which failed after 4 years, outside the warranty. I used to think of Sony Vaio as a premium quality product, but after purchasing two models which have developed faults, I will not buy another.

The battery life kept reducing until the charge now lasts for only around 30 minutes. Some of the keys do not work anymore. The motherboard has an issue and needs to be replaced and is very expensive. We cannot use the laptop anymore.

Light Weight The best 1920 x1080 res screen on the market The core I7 with SSD drives make this PC ideal for resource hungry apps

The PMD port takes up one of the few USB ports Removal of the PMD unit can lock the PC up so you have to find a screwdriver to remove the battery as there is no reset switch The external PMD graphics should be built into the PC so when you’re out on...

We had the laptop only 5 days before the darn thing went wrong, it wouldn’t start at all - only the power light would come on followed by the fans blowing at full pelt 30 seconds later. Called Sony support and had the laptop collected. 5 days later...

Compact, stable, therefore reliable.

Doesn't shut down on lid close. But maybe I haven't configured it right?
