According to Sony, the VAIO Z and Y are the world’s first out-of-the box laptops that act as a personal hotspot. Select models of these series feature the exclusive new Sony embedded wireless technology called Share My Connection (SMC).
Share My Connection is a secured service that lets a user extend their connectivity with coworkers, friends, and family members.
The Z model features a durable carbon fibre and aluminium casing and delivers up to seven hours of battery life for true mobile freedom. It incorporates a 13.1-inch high-resolution LED backlit widescreen display, delivering a bright picture with 100 percent color saturation. The extremely thin unit also comes with an optical drive (Blu-ray optical drive optional).
The Y Series laptops comes in five colours including purple, pink, green, blue, and black. With a thin 1.2-inch profile and 13.3-inch LED backlit widescreen display, the sleek Y model offers lower power consumption for improved battery life.
Australian pricing and availability are to be announced at a later date.
