  • I HATE VAIO'S SCREEN !!! TOO MUCH CONTRAST !!!!!!!!

  • @lavoix100 You can change it

  • dimensions, 3300mm? That's a huge fucking laptop

  • Light Peak by Intel my arse... THUNDERBOLT was created in conjunction with Apple. I must admit though, that dock is awesome!

  • Give it up with the stupid proprietary ports sony..

  • Love how Sony fucked Apple over and released Light Peak before 2012. Thank you Sony ;) .

  • @TVperson1 i really do like the thunderbolt ports more thought. They have nicer connectors. I hate the USB 3.0 and charge input whatever u call it combo that you have to use.

  • @SpartanDara117 Bloody 12 year old apple fans.

  • This guy is modelling a product that he doesn't appear to know anything about.

    He can throw around buzzwords like "Power" "Performance" "Portability" "Amazing Graphics" "Super Speeds", but he makes no mention of the harddrive, the RAM, the other ports on the device, the sound card, the depth or quality of the screen, the processor, the SSD, the flash drive, the DVD/Blu Ray capabilities or the operating system.

    He then slaps a £2,500 on a system he has told you nothing about.......

  • @HolyWhisp

    Look it up.

    i7 is 2.7ghz which is crazy fast for a laptop. My dekstop has 2.8 and it can chew more than I can handle.

    The graphics card is an intergrated intel 3000 hd but the media dock has a 6650M radeon which is good enough for gaming. The hard drive is a 256 solid state drive (these are very fast, the difference is greatly noticable) and you get the idea. There are fact sheets like these all over the internet. He is just supposed to advertise to the average consumer.

  • They should seriously update this channel more

  • Welcome to the existence outside America mr no flow. Apparently only 1 in ten Americans have passports

  • WTF is with guys and inconsistent weights? XXX grams, XXXX kilos? WTH

  • on almost every computing-related YouTube video, some people must argue about Mac OS vs Windows, Macbook vs other brands, iPhone vs other brands, iPad vs other brands .. that amazesme

  • @beefcake0354 u say this only because mac sucks!

    :P

  • @Maurazio well, I wouldn't say that, their products just don't fit me 'cause I always find other brands that can do more and cost less :)

  • @Maurazio Best joke I heard all day you sound like one of those Android fan boys

  • 2000-2500? that's an unafordable price...

  • which is better for gaming: this one or macbook, or is there any other good, stylish, thin notebook out there??

  • @jordanfrazierful I think mac should be better, and Mac is cheaper than this one, I didn't notice any additional graphic cards on this model, on the other hand, Mac pro has intel i7 and AMD 6750m.

  • @chenhan827 but the i7 on the mac is mobile hahahaha

  • macbook pro > sony z series

  • @MrWirelessBrain Eh...No.

  • koolaid20100 and macuser5555 I hate you both for filling up the comments section >.>

  • man that thing is awesome, it's so expensive though! even more than a macbook air

  • this vs m14x vs m17x from alienware? answer plz?

  • @MylesC1234 3 totally different machines. Depends on your gaming needs.

  • @SmellsLikeNirvanna minecraft/ World of warcraft/ other MMO's/ call of duty/ and halo. thats about it.

    [i dont play WOW but if it can play that then it can play any other MMO's i play]

  • @MylesC1234 The Vaio Z wouldnt able to handle those without that seperate graphics card connected, whereas the m14x would easily handle that those games at medium to high graphics. the m17x is an overkill for those games and its big and heavy so i suggest not getting it. If i were u id pick the m14x, its cheaper and relatively portable and came play those games without lugging that dock around. The Vaio Z is meant to be a full on business machine.

  • @SmellsLikeNirvanna thanks alot for helping me out on my decision.

  • ive decided what i want for christmas

  • @whoisthis159 get a phone dude ...

  • If I had a decent paying job I would buy this in a heartbeat.

  • I seriously don't understand why someone would pay so much for this laptop. An Apple MBA would cost much less and you can run Windows in a VM if you really need it. If a portable gaming machine is what you want then look to Dell Alienware.

  • @iApna few things, this uses a regular laptop core i7 processor, instead of MBA's core i7 ultra low voltage, which is way less powerful, this has a way better screen than the MBA and also the fact that it has a plug in graphics card included in the price is also a huge plus. Dont get me wrong, id still prefer a MBA as i prefer iOS and all its benefits, price wise its more affordable too.

  • Gotta love you Sony fans. Can't stand any criticism. You're just sheeps buying into the overpriced world of Sony. Keep in mind that Sony is still your everyday common plain jane Windows machine. At the end of the day it doesn't do anymore with Windows than other PC's for several hundreds less.

  • BEZEL ALERT! BEZEL AlERT!

    $2,000+ notebook computer has a bezel as wide as a 3 lane highway!

    At this price range Edge-to-Edge glass should come standard!

  • wow what an utterly ugly laptop

  • Awesome

  • great

    

  • Great looking laptop but not worth the cost. I am waiting for new MacBook Air to land and hopefully its beefy enough to run Parralles on it. At least this way you get best of both worlds.

    If this laptop came in at $2000 all in with the extra perks ram, 256-SSD, etc...then fine, it might be worth it.

  • @iApna Hmmm... even the new MacBook Air pales in comparison to the Vaio Z. Sure, the Vaio *is* more expensive, but simply because it has far more to offer.

  • @writerinpearls - The problem with Vaio is Microsoft Windows.

  • @iApna Hmmm... I don't like operational systems that assume I'm dumb and can't properly use a computer. Not that Windows hasn't been leaning towards that assumption as well, but I've always felt the Mac OS crosses the line in limiting what I can and can't do with it much more often. Besides, there's nothing stopping me from modifying a Vaio more to my liking with an OS of my choice, whereas a Mac will do what it can to hinder me from doing anything of the kind. :\

  • @writerinpearls - I agree with you on all your points. But think about what the Apple MBA is for...portability. Its easy to use and you can run Windows in a VM if you really need it. I welcome Apple's restrictions on the MBA if means a stabler system while I'm away from home. Although I have been pleased with Windows 7 stability so far, but its so bloated with shit I don't need on the road.

    If a portable gaming machine is what someone wants then buy a Dell Alienware laptop.

  • @writerinpearls That makes zero sense what you wrote. Of course the Z offers more but it's more than twice the price of the Macbook Air so it's stupid for you to say the Air pales in comparison to the Z.

  • @macuser5555 what?! That's some faulty logic right there. hahaha

  • @writerinpearls Faulty logic? Get off the drugs. If people are going to say the Z is better than the Air without acknowledging the fact that the Z cost several hundreds more then that's retarded. What was wrong with what I said?

  • Comment removed

  • @macuser5555 It's not stupid comparison. The people that are looking to buy this laptop want the best. They obviously have enough money and wouldn't care if it's twice the cost of any other laptop. If you have to think about the price, then you probably can't afford it. Sony is not targeting you.

  • @koolaid20100 I agree with you somewhat but let me correct you on one part. It's not that the people buying this laptop have the money to do so, it's just that they have disposable income and will waste their money on this machine. I'm not hating on The Vaio Z, it's a decent computer but you're forced to buy it with the PMD. WIthout the PMD this Z isn't worth what Apple is asking for their cheapest Macbook Air.

  • @macuser5555 Products are worth whatever people are willing to pay for it. You are in no position to tell how people should spend their money. You are taking this debate too personally and subjectively. Let's just look at this in an objective way. The Sony is superior to any other laptop in this size/class...period. It has a 1080p screen...raid ssd...carbon fiber...and it still lighter and thinner than anything apple has to offer. If you want the best, you pay, what's so hard to understand?

  • @koolaid20100 I don't think it's hard to understand at all since I use the "best" and I pay for it. Apple computers are the most targeted by PC users saying you can get so much more for less. Problem is in the PC world, the "less" isn't better and most PC laptops don't come close to Apple's. I'm mot taking anything personally. Did you see me trolling the Sony Z? NO. It's a nice computer. Problem is you're paying too much for it. Sony forces the customer to have the PMD which adds to the cost.

  • @macuser5555 Who are you to say what is too much? LOL...are you the price police? Just because you can't afford it doesn't mean others can't? The PMD makes this laptop a gaming laptop, which MBA can't do. Many people want the PMD...if you don't...then simply buy something else. What's the problem? Just like everything in life, if you want the best you have to pay a premium. It's a 2k$ laptop b/c nothing else comes close. You're just an over zealous apple fan boy...it shows.

  • @koolaid20100 It's funny that all you can do is make personal attacks. I never called you any names. Too bad for you that you're such a coward that you have to pass insults behind a computer. You'd never do that shit in person. I have Apple computers, obviously I can afford this Vaio. It's overpriced because the customer is being forced to buy something they may not use. Who am I to say this?? Uh...I'm a consumer. You're stupid.

  • @macuser5555 Why are you so offended? LOL...let me know when you need some kleenex ok? The internet can be cruel sometimes. Apple computers are not expensive...the basic config for this laptop costs more than most of the apple lineup. So I wouldn't surprised if you can't afford it...since you've been crying about the price all this time...it's hard to expect others to believe anything else. No one is forcing you to buy this computer...if you can't afford it...don't buy it. What's the problem?

  • @koolaid20100 Apple computers are well known to be expensive, but I guess they're not as far as you're concerned since your mommy and daddy buy your shit for you while you sit in your room on YouTube talking shit and being a coward on the internet. The Vaio Z without the PMD isn't worth as much as the baseline 13" Macbook Air. Just deal with it. The PMD adds about double the cost and it's forced on the customer. Sorry if this hurts you.

  • @koolaid20100 I find it hilarious that you're all proud that the Sony Z cost more, even though it's worth less.

  • @macuser5555 Apple computers are not known to be expensive...they are known to be over-priced. There's a difference. Over-priced means that you're charging people a high price for inferior or slow components...and that's what Apple's doing. Besides...most of apple's laptops are below 2k...they're not even up to the same league as sony. The max config for the Z can go up to like 4k$ with raid ssds.

  • @macuser5555 Sony Z costs more because it has better components and specs. I'm sorry that you feel threatened because Apple doesn't have a comparable product....lol...not even close.

  • @koolaid20100 I LOL'd at that one. Sony has better components? LOL. You are a true Sony CEO dick eater.

  • @macuser5555 Are you mad? LOL...if I had to spend all my time commenting on macs..I would be frustrated as hell too....hahahahahaha

  • @koolaid20100 I'm not frustrated. I'm laughing at you. My brother is sitting her with me and we're both laughing at you being so pathetic defending a multi-billion dollar company trying to ponder off a $800 ultraportable for $2000.

  • @macuser5555 You sound very frustrated dude..find me an 800$ ultra portable with 1080p screen...lol...sorry the MBA doesn't have that...find me one with gaming graphics...sorry MBA can't do that either...carbon fiber? MBA has cheap aluminum....lol

  • @koolaid20100 The Z doesn't have gaming graphics, the PMD does. LOL. Cabon fiber?? LOL. You mean carbon infused plastic or AKA polymer. LOL. Every PC on the market is compared to an Apple computer. Even you should no why? Sorry girlie, the carbon fiber isn't selling the Z. In fact the Z isn't really selling. It's a boutique computer. Sorry if this hurts you. LOL. Didn't expect to have this much fun tonight. Thanks!!!

  • @macuser5555 Sorry....MBA is made from cheap aluminum (you know the one from soda cans)...the comparison stops there...lol

  • @koolaid20100 LOL, I'm glad you're amusing yourself talking crap about the Air. At least I'm not getting all butthurt like you and defending Apple as if I work for them like you're doing about Sony. I just love how Sony tries to fool the dumb customer about that Carbon Fiber junk. It's just a finish on the lid which serves no purpose. The screen is already flimsy and the Carbon Fiber does nothing but fool the stupid customer into thinking their getting better.

  • @macuser5555 LOL...are you mad again? So 1. carbon fiber..vs cheap aluminum from MBA....2. 1080p screen vs shitty MBA screen....3. gaming graphics vs shitty MBA graphics...4. lighter/thinnger vs heavier and thicker MBA......LOL....you really are struggling..

  • @koolaid20100 I'm mad??? OMG, this is too funny. You sound like you're getting pretty upset there at me. LOL. You can't handle the truth about Sony so now you're putting down the Macintosh as if you think I'm going to get annoyed with you. Try something else. I don't drink the Apple Koolaid the way you do Sony's. What flavor are they serving you? Sony should hire you, they need someone to back them up on their overpriced hardware. LOL.

  • @macuser5555 You're not only mad but really defensive. No one said anything about macs...I just said that MBA is shitty compared tot he sony Z. I'm sorry that you took that way too personally. Don't read into more than what it is...you're starting to scare me lol...

  • @macuser5555 And don't you have other Sony Z channels that you have to comment on also? I mean steve is not paying you to just comment on this one channel right? hahahahahaha...seriously I commend you for the effort...but there are thousands of PC products and channels..I just don't see how you can visit all of them...LOL

  • @koolaid20100 I find it so interesting that you're so quick to defend Sony's honor, and you're calling ME an Apple fanboy??? Yep, you're one of those, a person who has too much money to spend but who's too stupid to know that he spent too much.

  • @macuser5555 Sorry, I'm not an Apple user who spends all their time trolling and commenting on Sony products...LOL. I think you have much more to defend than me. The question is why are you here if you don't like this laptop? LOL...really desperate huh? It must really take a lot of time and effort to seek out products that you don't like and comment on it. lol.

  • @koolaid20100 What R U the Sony police? I can visit and comment on any video on YouTube I damn well please. You need to get off the KoolAid and stop being a Sony apologist. Mind you're business then if you don't like what I write about your precious Sony. You got all butthurt about it.

  • @macuser5555 I'm not stopping you from commenting...I just feel sorry that you have to spend your time on a product that you don't like...it must be painful. LOL. It's like if i was spending all my time commenting on mac videos...lol...it would be a sad day.

  • @koolaid20100 Actually I haven't posted here in several days. You're just butthurt because you didn't like my opinions. At first I just made modest comments and I actually like the "Computer" even though it's overpriced and packaged to force the customer to own more than they need. I'm having more fun watching you apologize for Sony and drinking their KoolAid. Must be tasty.

  • @macuser5555 nice lie bro...i looked back at the history comments...you've been posting here a lot...and sounded pretty defensive and mad at times. it's okay...we can't always afford anything we want. If you can't afford this laptop...then don't try. Just move on...lol

  • @koolaid20100 I wouldn't call my self "Macuser" if I wanted a Sony Vaio. Haha, what a shame. Maybe when you get a real job and stop living with mommy and daddy you'll understand that buying quality is better than buying name brands. Sony is nothing more than another common cheap Windows machine. At least Apple has their own OS and innovates. I never came here and trolled from the beginning. You just got butthurt and defended Sony against my comments. You're pathetic. Bye.

  • @macuser5555 Hey...I never said you wanted a sony...i just said you couldn't afford one....LOL. Learn to read. Apple's OS is based on Unix...they didn't create that...LOL. You've gotta be kidding me...you didn't know that? LOL....to be honest I used to like Apple...but they have gotten really bad...worst than Microsoft. If they don't get their acts together...they're gonna lose the mobile OS war to google like they lost to microsoft back then.

  • @koolaid20100 Not sure where you got the notion that I didn't know that OS X was UNIX based? Keep it coming man, I can't stop laughing. This is the funniest Sunday night I've had on the internet. You keep thinking you can insult Apple's products and I'm going to get mad and cry like you do when your precious Vaio Z's honor gets insulted. Haha.

  • @macuser5555 Hey like wise bro, you are actually entertaining me...because it's a sony Z thread. LOL. It takes effort to really search out products that you hate and comment like you do...you're a work horse...steve jobs must be paying you well.

  • @macuser5555 I think you're crying because you're using MBA...which is a second-rated product. You feel mad and threatened since it's now inferior to a newer and more powerful product. LOL.

  • @koolaid20100 Exactly, I feel threatened. Oh boo too me. What will I do?? I happen to stay in the know of all tech. I'm not an Apple KoolAid drinker. Like I said earlier, this is nice computer but the PMD is shoved in people's faces. I'm alone here either. Check out the other comments. They are all saying what I'm saying. At least I'm not childish and put down the Sony while rating up the Apple. You're the one that's threatened. If my comments don't' mean anything to you then simply get lost.

  • @macuser5555 Of course...if I had just bought an MBA right before this sony Z got released...I would feel totally like shit..LOL...since I can afford this one. But hey, if you can't afford the Z...the cheaper and weaker MBA will do..money is everything in this world i guess.

  • @koolaid20100 Uh, I don't own a Macbook Air. I never said I did. You're assuming, and you know what they say about assuming. You're making yourself out to be an ass....hole.

  • @macuser5555 When did I say that you own one? LOL...learn to read. Again, stop taking everything so personally...lol..it's the internet. I don't want any hurt feelings running around.

  • @koolaid20100 You're feeling are terribly hurt because you feel the need to stay up past your bedtime to defend Sony's honor and to do damage control so my so-called FUD spreading doesn't hurt the Vaio Z's sales. LOL.

  • @macuser5555 Your feelings are terribly hurt because now you have to go find another Sony Z channel to troll after spending so much time and effort on this one...you must start over again even after midnight...LOL

  • @macuser5555 But to be honest though....there are so many sony Z channels...how do you manage to do it? LOL

  • @macuser5555

    dont flatter yourself. your trolling aint hampering sony at all LMAO

  • @ishamael0 And yet you responded to my posts, so they must've hampered YOU. LOL. Sorry you're all butthurt that I'm not paying homage to Sony.

  • @koolaid20100 The Vaio Z is NO GAMING LAPTOP. Wake up Mr. Delusional. The PMD has a decent GPU but it's more for doing CAD work or professional editing. Check out the reviews online but you better smoke up a joint first. The Z gets low marks for constantly getting overheated and down-clocking when trying to play games at even medium settings. All ultraportables are shitting gaming machines. Just deal with it, the Macbook Air is better. Sony is no longer a big player.

  • @macuser5555 So the sony Z can do games, CAD, and make use of the PMD for blu-ray and better graphics performance...what does the MBA have? Oh yeah....nothing. Please don't even compare the two...the MBA is a second-rated product.

  • @koolaid20100 HAHAHAHA, The Macbook Air is a second rate product? That must be why it's the number one ultraportable being sold. Only a handful of celebrities will buy the Vaio Z just so they can say they bought one. Sony is no longer the top player. And Blu-Ray??? RU serious? Even Microsoft agreed with Apple that Blu-Ray is dying a fast death. Sony shoves Blu-Ray into the customer's face because nobody would pay extra to have it.

  • @koolaid20100 It's also funny that every reviewer puts the new Z against the Macbook Air and nearly every review gives more props to the Air. Yeah, a second rate product gets higher marks than your overpriced Z.

  • @macuser5555 LOL...of course the MBA will sell more than the sony Z...the MBA is cheaper...LOL...are you stupid? That's like saying acer and dell are outselling sony. LOL....its economics 101 bro...if sony lowered the price...maybe you can afford one too..lawled

  • @koolaid20100 Sony has some very cheap computers and yet I hardly ever see one in the wild. I frequently visit cafe's and I see HP, Dell's and Macs. Sometimes I'll see Thinkpads but I hardly ever see anyone with a Sony Vaio no matter how cheap they are. Just deal with it, Sony is not a big player anymore. No matter how much Apple's products are people are still buying them and are satisfied. Sony is just the opposite.

  • @macuser5555 Bro, for the price of a new mbp you could get a refurbished sony Z okay? I'll shoot you an email if i see some available. I know you can afford a refurbished one...LOL

  • did he just say 2 to 2500 thousand!

  • Sony Vaio Z laptop specs and reviews at

    wwwDOTwebfuzonDOTnet

  • Why is there such a big gap between the edge of the screen and edge of moniter? It doesn't look as sleek as it sounds. I'll keep my Z12 for another year..

  • BEZEL ALERT! BEZEL ALERT!

    $2,000 + notebook computer has a bezel that is as wide as a 3 lane highway!

    At this price range Edge - to - Edge glass should be standard!

  • if the price came down abit, this would be a great laptop, the 7 hours battery life would last me a full day of college, and the power media dock would allow me to play all my games when i got home on pretty high res, what more can you ask for apart from a lower price?

  • Seriously, what's the point? What that amount of money I could buy a Chromebook and a top of the line gaming rig.

  • this is not Ultimate.......

    VPC-Z14 is much better.

  • Also, thats freakin' expensive if you ask me i sure hope its packing a lot of power. i'll stick to my Sony Vaio VPCEB11FM

  • about 2.65 pounds? is that right?

  • @Dleger13 its more like 4lb, considering the dock in your bag

  • The price please ?

  • i want a laptop that can last 24 hours with out charging : )

    

  • @whoisthis159 look at lenovo laptops, specifically the x series and t series laptops. they can allow up to 30 hrs. with a slice battery.

  • @whoisthis159 get a macbook :D

  • @whoisthis159 get a thinkpad with a slice battery 24 hours

  • @whoisthis159 I don't believe it exists XD

  • @whoisthis159 Want one that doesn't need charging at all.

  • @andreipetunin maybe nuclear powered?

  • @gorton8andy Maybe safer sun-powered. Or air. Who knows!

  • I bet the thing is gonna cost like $1800. Anyway, Asus 4 life!

  • Im liking the optical tech

  • :P

  • looks like the x220's sexier cousin.

  • 7th!

  • TYPICAL OF SONY To use a piece of crap PROPRIETARY CONNECTOR geez...
