Sony VAIO Z Series VPCZ122GX
$1,949.00
Released June, 2010
The Pros:Runs business applications smoothly, can multitask many without slowing down. Switching between applications is very fast, almost no pause.
The Cons:Strong screen glare due to mirror-like finish, need to be mindful of your surroundings. Home and End keys are placed in an odd spot, will be hit when you don't want to and missed when you do. Built-in speakers are completely unusable - tinny even at low volumes.
The VAIO Z Series VPCZ122GX is one of Sony's mid-priced laptops offerings, made for everyday use. The Intel Core i5-520M processor is 2.40GHz to start, but it is equipped with Turbo Boost (a feature that speeds up the processor when extra performance is needed), which brings it up to 2.93GHz.
