  Sony Recommends Windows Vista® Business

An inspiring fusion of mobility, power and style, the VAIO® SZ Notebook delivers intelligent mobile design while placing a priority on performance. >> View the Interactive Flash Tour.
 
   
Designed for maximum mobility
At only 4.0 lbs4 with a 13.3"3 durable magnesium or carbon-fiber form factor, the VAIO® SZ notebook is rugged, easy to handle and ready to go wherever your business takes you. In addition to this portable form factor, we've further enhanced the mobility of the SZ notebook by integrating 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless LAN technology1. Wireless-N technology offers a massive boost in speed and considerably more range than 802.11a/b/g when connected to wireless LAN networks and compatible hotspots. And if you want to take your access even farther, we've embedded wireless Wide Area Network (WAN) technology9 through Sprint® Mobile Broadband to allow you to connect anywhere within Sprint's network.

Intel® Centrino® Duo processor
Select VAIO® SZ 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.

Innovative performance features
The SZ notebook maximizes performance by utilizing key technologies to increase productivity and efficiency. A revolutionary Hybrid Graphics System lets you control efficiency and output so you can choose to conserve battery power while, say, working on a spreadsheet. But when it comes time to deliver a big presentation, enhance the graphical output by utilizing the external NVIDIA® GeForce® Go 8400M graphics chip. In addition, select SZ notebooks feature XBRITE™ LCD technology with a white LED backlight to deliver brilliant picture quality while making the LCD more efficient.

Security
Security is a top priority with the VAIO® SZ Notebook. The SZ Series features an integrated biometric fingerprint sensor to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information, as well as employs a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) that enables you to set the level of security on a specific client/user basis. And to protect the hard drive, and the data stored on it, against the impact shocks any travel notebook must endure, the SZ Series utilizes G-Sensor™ Shock Protection technology to reduce the risk of data loss due to a damaged hard drive.

Choose your OS, plus Microsoft® Office Ready
Built to integrate easily into your existing platform, VAIO® SZ Series notebooks are either pre-installed with Windows Vista® Business or Windows® XP Professional. It's your choice: the enhanced usability, security and mobility features of Windows® Vista® Business or the familiarity of Windows® XP Professional. Plus, select SZ Series notebooks are Microsoft® Office Ready. This means that they include a pre-installed trial version of Microsoft Office Professional that can easily be converted to a full version by purchasing a license key online or through your PC provider. It's the easiest and most cost-effective way to purchase Microsoft Office.
