Key Features
  
Compatibility and Accessibility :  
  
Sony knows that efficient and accessible PC design is critical to keeping your employees up and running. With the VAIO® BZ notebook, frequent IT activities such as RAM upgrades, swapping out the optical drive, accessing the hard drive and detaching the keyboard are quick and easy to do.

The VAIO® BZ notebook has a reduced amount of pre-loaded software for improved compatibility and IT peace of mind. With less pre-loaded software, IT personnel can more quickly set up and image the notebook.

Keeping the technical needs of your business in mind, the VAIO® BZ notebook offers BIOS level control for IT administrators over inputs and outputs such as Ethernet, USB ports and Memory card/SD card slots to name a few.
Business-grade Durability :  
  
Not only designed for a comfortable touch and feel, the full-sized keyboard on the VAIO® BZ notebook features a spill-resistant panel to protect the computer’s internal components against accidental spills.

Hit the road with confidence. The VAIO® BZ notebook is constructed with a stylish yet durable and lightweight magnesium alloy chassis to protect against the everyday knocks and bumps encountered frequently in travel.

G-Sensor™ Shock Protection technology15 makes your data even less vulnerable to loss or damage. When the built-in 3D acceleration sensor detects a risky movement, the HDD-head will lock up to secure its position and help protect the disc from scratching.
Serious Security :  
  
A built-in biometric fingerprint scanner makes authentication and secure access quick and easy; you only need your fingerprint.
