I ran several benchmarks to see how this brand-new chip stacks up against some of the more powerful thin systems out there - particularly, Apple’s M1-based MacBook Pro and the Razer Book 13, which is powered by one of Intel’s top Tiger Lake U-Series chips. That’s eight mandatory agreements and 11 optional ones.īut in terms of raw power, results are mixed.

In addition, there is a slew of optional things to agree to:

That said, the considerable flex in the screen remains.Įvery smart device now requires you to agree to a series of terms and conditions before you can use it - contracts that no one actually reads. That the keyboard deck turned out to be a bit sturdier, particularly the area under the shift key. The company later sent me a mass-production model. When I initially asked Vaio about this, the company told me that the product is still in the preorder stage, and chassis quality would improve closer to its shipping date. I know most people aren’t actively trying to bend their laptops, but I would be afraid that putting too much weight on this unit could damage the screen and keyboard over time. The display is so bendy that I was careful when torquing it because I was legitimately afraid of snapping it in half. While I usually have to push pretty hard to get keyboards to bend, the area under the Shift key trampolined with a firm thumb press. There’s a significant amount of flex in the keyboard and screen. There aren’t a ton of 2.3-pound laptops out there, and I don’t doubt that the Vaio Z may be objectively better-built than the rest of that class.īut does it feel sturdy? Not really. Vaio says the Z has passed MIL-STD 10H torture tests, including drop tests, pressure tests, and body-twist tests among others. Sturdiness and rigidity are difficult claims to verify with a review unit for obvious reasons. I was sent a model in the middle, with 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. You can go all the way up to a $4,179 system with 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage. The base model is - I’m not kidding - $3,579 for a Core i7-11375H, a 14-inch 4K screen, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage. That’s an impressive prospect, especially in a 2.3-pound chassis.īut the third thing to understand about the Vaio Z is that it’s not cheap. When announcing the chip at CES, Intel claimed it would offer the fastest single-thread performance on the market, with boost clock speeds up to 5GHz. This model includes the quad-core Core i7-11375H, the current flagship of Intel’s brand-new “Tiger Lake H” series. It’s highly unusual to see one in a thin and light laptop, especially one that’s just over two pounds machines of this size generally include the lower-powered U-Series. I was sent a slightly heavier one at 2.32 pounds.) H-Series processors are high-performance chips most commonly found in gaming laptops and workstations. (That refers to the lightest-possible configuration. The second is, at 2.11 pounds, the Vaio Z is the lightest laptop to include an Intel H-Series chip. (Vaio says the Z is the first laptop to use contoured carbon fiber, though the 2012 Gigabyte X11 also claims an all-carbon fiber build.) While plenty of high-end laptops, including the Dell XPS 13, have sheets of carbon fiber across their palm rests and other materials on the sides, the Vaio Z includes contoured carbon fiber, meaning the material is molded around the edges, and the whole thing is carbon fiber.

The first is that it’s made entirely of carbon fiber. There are two things about it that are groundbreaking - at least on paper. The Vaio Z is, speaking pragmatically, a proof of concept.
