Sony Offers the Chance to Build Your Own Laptop (VAIO Z Series)

The Sony VAIO Z Series represents the higher end of the VAIO range; first released in 2008 it has been an impressive addition to the VAIO family. Being extremely small as well as light it is marketed towards business users although leisure users that want a high performance laptop are equally well catered for.

For some time Sony has been offering the option to build your own laptop and the Z Series has also received the customisable treatment. Customers are given a range of choices when it comes to configuring their VAIO.

Technical options include a choice of processor, a range of hard drive sizes (in the Sony VAIO Z (V) Series these include hard discs of 320GB or 500GB storage whilst the Sony VAIO Z (X) Series offers solid state drives ranging from 128GB to 512GB of storage). Customers can also add more memory, choose to have a Blu-ray optical drive installed and add Wireless WAN for seamless connectivity. Finally, a choice of screens allowing customers to showcase High Definition media are included, customers can select either a 1600×900 pixel screen or the premium HD1080 screen that utilises 1920×1080 pixels.

It is not just technical aspects that can be included in the custom options for the VAIO Z. Particularly for business users, fingerprint recognition can be added to ensure that sensitive material is kept confidential and leisure customers can choose between a range of colours which include Carbon and Silver (all with a backlit keyboard).

Whilst the VAIO Z is one of the more premium Sony VAIO models, the chance to create custom laptops that include everything that a business or leisure user should ever need is likely to be a powerful lure for those who want control over the construction of their VAIO machine.
