Sony VAIO Z2 VPCZ214GX/L 13.1" Notebook Computer (Blue)
The VAIO Z2 VPCZ214GX/L 13.1" Notebook Computer from Sony is a compact notebook computer. The system features a 13.1" LCD display with a LED backlight, 16:9 aspect ratio, and 1600 x 900 resolution. An external sheet battery is included for extended cord-free operation.
It is rife with wireless options -- dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR are standard issue. The VAIO Z2 also sports a webcam and integrated microphone.

You'll need the optional Netgear Push2TV accessory to utilize this technology. As an alternative, it also features built-in VGA and HDMI ports for establishing a wired connection to larger displays.
The computer is powered by a dual-core 2.7GHz Intel Core i7-2620M CPU, which can be overclocked to 3.4GHz thanks to Intel Turbo Boost. It is loaded with 4GB of RAM, 128GB of solid state storage, and integrated Intel GMA HD 3000 graphics. Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack 1 (64-bit) is the installed operating system.

Comments about Sony VAIO Z2 VPCZ214GX/L 13.1" Notebook Computer (Blue):
I got this for professional use to analyze large laboratory datafiles, perform data analysis, and do word processing that includes large images. This machine excels at all of these in a very portable package. So far the vivid display, superfast processor and solid state drives have all performed well. The easy-to-use external ports, especially the ability to directly drive a projector when lecturing were a reason I preferred this to Macbook Air. Obviously, it is expensive, but the features, performance and, above all, light weight are what you pay for.
The lack of an internal optical drive is a compromise I was willing to accept to reduce weight. The illuminated keyboard is nice, but it dims after a short time and, to relight it, you have to find and touch a key. Also, in the dark, the left and right buttons on the mouse pad are not lit or well differentiated by feel, which slows use. Stylistically, it's beautiful, although I wish the front corners were a bit more rounded.
