Sony probably is a manufacturer with the longest list of sexy portable notebooks and this one might be the one that tops the list as it is not only sexy but packs a punch within as well. Joanna Stern at Engadget posted a review on the Sony Vaio Z VPCZ114GX/S 13.1 inch Portable Notebook and she thinks the Sony VAIO Z is a wonderful portable notebook to use which it should be for the $2,000 RRP but somehow wonders if there still is a place in the market for highly priced portable when there are so many cheaper CULV powered notebooks out there that are as sexy and portable as the Sony Vaio Z VPCZ114GX/S while offering even longer battery life. So if you are just looking for a portable notebook for basic tasks you are better of with buying a CULV notebook but if you want a truly powerful portable and have money to spare you can’t go wrong with Sony Vaio Z VPCZ114GX/S and we couldn’t agree more as it features Intel Core i5 2.53GHz, nVidia Geforce GT 330M + Intel GMA HD Dynamic Hybrid Graphics System and a 13.1 inch screen with a resolution unheard of for a portable notebook at 1600 x 900 pixels. So yeah, we definitely think it’s worth the money.

Its batteryt life is very decent with an optional 9 cell battery and the full HD screen produces great picture with good contrast and brightness.
