  Sony Recommends Windows Vista® Business

With its durable magnesium casing, hafnium-based Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor, 802.11n wireless LAN technology4 and built-in camera, the VAIO® FZ notebook has the performance and mobility features you need to stay connected and productive whether in the office or offsite with clients. >> View the Interactive Flash Tour.
 
   
Designed with mobility in mind
The thin-and-light VAIO® FZ notebook packs big power into a durable magnesium alloy form factor. Designed to maximize LCD space with advanced space-saving engineering techniques implemented throughout the chassis, including a reconfigured battery and motherboard design, this PC combines the benefits of a 15.4" widescreen display2 with the dimensions or "footprint" of a much smaller notebook. The result is a brilliant 15.4" widescreen2 LCD in the body of a very portable and powerful notebook.
 
 
Intel® Centrino® Duo processor technology
Select VAIO® FZ notebooks are powered by Intel's hafnium-based processor technology. Hafnium, a unique metal with extraordinary insulative properties, acts as an insulator to the chipset to prevent electrical leakage. This revolutionary technology conserves power, resulting in increased energy efficiency, faster wireless networking and amazingly quick system responsiveness-ideal for all your productivity and multimedia needs. To complement this power, built-in 802.11n wireless LAN technology4 keeps you connected with greater performance, range and reliability than ever before.

Built for performance
In addition to its powerful processor technology, the VAIO FZ delivers a multitude of additional performance features. Enjoy up to 4GB of RAM9 for enhanced system responsiveness and up to a 300GB3 hard drive for ample storage. Select models also feature an NVIDIA® GeForce® 8400M graphics card with 256MB of dedicated VRAM for robust graphics performance. And these powerful attributes truly bring your media to life when it is all displayed via the FZ notebook's optional XBRITE-HiColor™ LCD technology. XBRITE-HiColor technology provides a true-to-life color saturation of 90% and incredible contrast for crystal-clear resolution that is sure to impress.
 
 
Blu-ray Disc™ technology
Select VAIO® FZ notebooks feature Blu-ray Disc™ technology, and you have two ways of utilizing this cutting-edge entertainment and storage technology. Choose the Blu-ray Disc optical drive for HD video playback6 and up to 50GB of data storage to a Blu-ray Disc media8 — that's five times the capacity of a standard DVD. Or choose the Blu-ray Disc ROM drive to enjoy HD video playback only. Both Blu-ray Disc technology-enabled drives also deliver the read/write utility of a CD/DVD drive1. And since select FZ notebooks feature an HDMI™ output, you can view all your HD video and audio content, including your Blu-ray Disc movies, in full 1080 HD on your compatible HD TV7. (HDMI cable sold seperately)

Windows Vista® Business

A stunning and simple new user interface lets you easily find, use and share information. Powerful safety features provide you with a safer computing experience and help protect your critical data. Mobile computing enhancements allow you to stay connected with your colleagues and customers whether you're in the office or on the road. And as your business and technology needs grow and change, Windows Vista® Business can grow with you, providing a great return on your investment.
