VAIO HARDWARE UPDATE

Some time ago, I was waiting for 32 GB RAM, now I wait for 64. Hope you have a timely answer to my concern. ALSO would be great a VAIO with AMD processor. Thanks.

Exceptional

Made in Japan. In a sea of Chinese-made c**p - this is a rare gem! It's unrealistically lightweight. Obscenely lightweight. If you like to bring laptop to bed to watch movie, read news, etc - it's perfect: very light, screen opens 180 degrees and has perfect size. If you travel often - this fits perfectly on tiny airplane seat table and quality screen gives you everything you need. Camera has built-in physical sliding cover - no more stupid pieces for crap to put over camera lens for privacy. Solution is built-in. I got black 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD, i7 model. Drawbacks: 1. Outputs: It has only two USB-C outputs + HDMI + speaker/mic out. Nothing else. 2. Screen has some light "bleeding" through from the bottom edge. None of above are show stoppers for me. However - I connected Anker multiport adapter and connected 2 x 32" high res (3240x2160) monitors to it - all works flawlessly. Laptop by itself is 3240x2160 - so you end up having 3 high res screens to work with if wanted to. It can be your workhorse back home as well as super comfy workhorse while you travel on a light. 10 stars.

An absolutely stunning machine!

I personally own the VAIO Z Kachi-Iro and despite the steep price tag, it's exclusivity and performance makes it stand out. The performance is out of this world - Yep! It can get downright noisy when pushing the hardcore processor to its limit, but that's okay. When on an airplane, who really needs extreme performance? Save it for the hotel room or office :) As a software developer and cyber security professional, this little machine has chewed up everything I've sent its way. VAIO?s little touches like battery management and the fact you can charge this beast with as little as a 5 watt charger (will take forever but hey it's all good and is an amazing backup in that rare event you need it), is simply fantastic and innovative. Yes, it?s expensive but it?s truly an emotional purchase and always a talking point when someone sees it. You just don?t see them out there and in a sea of Lenovos, Dell?s and Mac?s, it stands out beautifully. Being that it?s manufactured in Japan and not in China is also a fantastic point and, the Kachi-iro, epitomizes this statement in its beautiful design and color scheme, truly showing why Japanese Samurais chose it as their color of victory. Thank you, VAIO Team, for keeping true to tradition and packing such performance into a sublime piece of machinery. I can't wait to see the next version of the "Z"!

Solid product, expensive and not for everyone.

Light, fast and durable. The matte screen has good color accuracy and reduces my eye strain compared to most glossy screens. The USB C ports are nice, but it would be nice to have an SD card or micro SD slot. I bought a USB C SD card reader for 15 bucks. It is nice to have an hdmi for streaming movies or connecting with larger monitors. Keyboard is nice and I like the angle of the laptop when fully opened. My only complaint is the left and right click on the track pad.

It's only 1kg, an excellent performer, and can take a beating

Given the cost, you only want this if ultra-light performance is your highest priority. For that, it simply excels. I just returned from 8 weeks traveling in the Balkans where this laptop was beaten around daily, often in a handbag, but occasionally summoned for work I'd normally do on an 18-core HEDT workstation. The fans made plenty of noise, but the machine was impressively capable. If you need to keep it quiet, you can just throttle back the powerplan settings. My only complaint is that if you are going to be beating it around, you need to use the included cleaning cloth as anti-scuff protection between the screen and the keyboard when you close it. There is enough chassis flex when handling that otherwise the corners of the keys will eventually scuff the matte coating on the screen, especially if there's a little dust in the mix. This has been panned for the price by many professional reviewers, and I get that. But when you're traveling/trekking, or even if you just have a lot of walking or biking in your daily commute, the difference in portability when you can drop half a kilo off your portable gear really is noticeable. If you can work with any of a smaller screen, fewer cores, lower single-thread performance, or less RAM, there are many options with comparable weight or for less money. But if time is money, and your workloads mean your laptop is a factor in your time or your flow, IMO there's no better option on the market. Hats off to Vaio for filling that niche!

The World's First Contoured Carbon Fiber Laptop
Carbon fiber was previously only partially applied to laptops. VAIO has now achieved high performance that enables this material to be applied to the entire case.

A symbol of extreme experience and innovation. The world's first three-dimensional molded full carbon body design in the flagship model VAIO Z that delivers exceptional performance.

What is Contoured Carbon Fiber?
Contoured carbon fiber is made through a process that stacks the fiber sheets in three dimensions. The shape is created by drawing out its characteristics while maximizing its rigidity and functional beauty.

Speed: Run your business at the speed of thought

Extraordinary high speed
Process millions of rows of data or edit giant media files. It doesn't matter, because VAIO Z with the next generation Intel i7 processor lets you move through information at the speed of thought. Apps start immediately, numbers crunch on the fly, and communications run effortlessly in the background. When you are on a video conference, cycling through spreadsheets, or reviewing your next commercial, instant performance without lag time means you are not only at the front of the pack - you are miles ahead.

Stamina: Stay in the game until you win the game.
The board of directors is there 24/7 with high expectations. But so are you. And your expectations are higher. VAIO Z has the stamina to match the challenge and timeline of any meeting, flight, or day-long brainstorm. When you are about to jump on a video call for the next two hours, peace of mind (and business confidence) means knowing you've got gas in the tank. You don't want a laptop that needs to recharge before you do. Stay in the game - and on the field - longer than ever before. VAIO Z gives you maximum time to think, talk or watch all the media you need to succeed. The next billion isn't on the clock.

Amazing Graphics
The 4K UHD display covers 99.8% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and is compatible with Panel Self Refresh to achieve power savings. This reproduces the gamut used as the digital cinema standard.

Beautifully detailed 4K display
The 4K UHD display reproduces shadows equivalent to those seen with the human eye. The exceptional brightness of the high contrast LCD can show fine details. The screen is clear, beautiful and realistic.

Strength: As tough as you.
You can bounce back from anything life throws at you. You need a laptop that does the same. From the construction site, to the warehouse, to the boardroom. VAIO Z's molded carbon fiber case thrives in all situations and environments. Carbon Fiber won't bend or break, which means your laptop will be at your side no matter your location. VAIO Z delivers the durability you need to support the success you demand.

New Features

Keylight
Comes standard with a newly designed keyboard backlight that allows you to type with confidence, even in a dimly lit environment.

Camera Privacy Shutter
Equipped with a camera privacy shutter that covers the camera so you can physically block the transmission of your image.

Newly Designed Keyboard
Type more comfortably. Reduction of keystroke noise, comfortable keys, and keyboard inclination help eliminate stress on wrists.

Type-C Thunderbolt 4
Includes 2 USB Type C Thunderbolt 4 ports, placed with one on each side, enabling video, power and data transfer speeds up to 40 Gbps.

Smallest AC adapter
Newly designed AC adapter powers up the VAIO Z as impressively as it's larger predecessors, yet it's smaller and lighter for easy transport.

Super Lightweight
Carbon fiber material is molded to create the VAIO Z, making it exceptionally light and rigid. Powered by the 11th Gen Intel Core H series Processor.

Incredibly Strong
3D carbon fibers provide the durable stiffness of the VAIO Z. It increases strength by controlling the type of fiber, thickness, and direction of lamination.

Next Gen Keystroke
Key pitch stroke is increased from 1.2mm to 1.5mm improving stability and operating force. The concave key-top shape cradles fingertips in comfort.

Uniquely VAIO

VAIO TruePerformance
"VAIO TruePerformance" is VAIO's unique technology designed to maintain higher performance for a longer period of time by increasing CPU power limits and more efficiently eliminating heat.

LCD display that opens 180 degrees
The top cover is designed to open up to 180 degrees. You can rotate the display with the dedicated shortcut combination. (Fn + 2) Touchpad operation is also inverted according to the screen direction.

Triple 4K display is possible
Up to two additional 4K displays can be connected through the USB Type-C ports. You can create a triple 4K display environment by combining it with the main unit's HDMI 4K display port.

Newly developed hinge
You can easily open and close the display with one hand without touching the palm rest. The uniquely shaped hinge allows your fingers to easily lift the display when placed on a flat surface. It also provides a comfortable grip for your hand preventing it from falling unexpectedly as you carry it.

VAIO User Sensing
By using two biometrics, fingerprint and facial recognition, the motion sensor provides tight security for peace of mind. When you sit in front of the PC, the motion sensor detects you and uses facial recognition to complete login without touching the PC.
