Sony Vaio VGN-Z51WG/B review

 

The top notch Sony Vaio Z series is trying to make its way as the go-to laptop for busy business bods and media junkies. But can this slimline Vaio win us over and convince us to ditch our 13-inch MacBook Pro? Read our Sony Vaio VGN-Z51WG/B review and...

Great looks, epic battery, stunning performance

Old Intel chipset, expensive

The closest a PC laptop gets to matching a MacBook Pro

Sony VGN-Z51WG review

 

In today's cut-price age is there a place for a full-on no-compromise high cost ultra portable? We weigh up the Sony Vaio VGN-Z51WG in this review.

The Sony VGN-Z51WG is a very fine machine, offering a well built chassis, and great looks, while the excellent performance is married to great battery life. The inevitable high price is its only significant down side.

Sony VAIO VGN-Z51WG/B

 

Light yet powerful, gorgeous yet practical, it's the best all-round ultraportable Sony has produced.

The VGN-Z51WG/B outstrips the best of the netbook and ultraportable worlds for sheer longevity, but is also capable of switching gears and assuming desktop duties with its reserves of power. With Intel's mobile Core i7 looming large on the horizon, it...

It has a lovely screen, good keyboard and it's not to heavy. The battery is very good compared with other laptops I've owned - but I'd like it to last just a little longer.

Sony Vaio VGN-Z51WG

 

Weight, size and layout. Good speed and operability.

Not enough USB ports - OK I know space is an issue, but one more would help. The computer will not allow the use of two monitors when connected to the docking station. When at home I like to use two large monitors (I could do that with my old dell)....
