Product Description

Built tough for business, the Sony VAIO VGN-Z750D/B blends easy portability with high-performance computing. Weighing just 3.3 pounds, this Z-series notebook offers a 13.1-inch screen featuring scratch-resistant XBRITE-DuraView LCD and a 320 GB hard drive with Sony's G-Sensor Shock Protection technology (and a 7200 RPM speed).


A multi-layer carbon-fiber casing covers the LCD panel and bottom of the chassis to help protect against knocks and bumps, and a seamless aluminum keyboard panel adds structural rigidity to help keep internal components protected.


And with up to 6 hours of standard battery life, it has the stamina to power you through your most demanding applications.

This VAIO Z notebook also features Sony's Hybrid Graphics System, which lets you toggle between internal Intel GMA 4500MHD and external NVIDIA GeForce 9300M graphics chips, enabling you to choose lighter battery consumption or better performance depending on the situation.


It's powered by the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processor--with Centrino 2 technology--which boosts speed, reduces power requirements, and saves on battery life.


The 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8800 includes a quick 1066 MHz front-side bus and 3 MB of L2 cache, providing an optimized, multithreaded architecture for improved multimedia and multitasking performance.


It also includes Intel's 5100AGN wireless LAN, which will connect to draft 802.11n routers and offers compatibility with 802.11a/b/g networks as well.


And you can use wireless headsets for video chats and stream music to compatible speakers using the embedded Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity (featuring the A2DP music streaming profile).


Other features include 4 GB of installed RAM (expandable to 8 GB), dual-layer DVD±RW drive (which also burns CDs), Draft-N Wi-Fi networking, Gigabit Ethernet, ExpressCard 34 slot, both Memory Stick and SD card readers, and pre-installed Windows Vista Business with SP1 (available XP Pro downgrade on Windows Vista Business only).

Excellent Item.
 
Review Date: September 26, 2009
Reviewer: A. A. Ali, Maldives,
This is one of the best i had purchased from amazon.

The lightweight laptop, is easily portable an ideal for travelling. i had purchased the item and shipped to my cousin in USA, he then posted it back to me to Maldives. There was only one issue with the power cable that didnt support the power plug ins available here in maldives, so i bought a three-pin to support the power plug...

and now its in perfect condition....Thanks to sony, and thanks to Amazon.
Small, powerful, but pricey!

I considered many PC options, Toshiba, MAC, Samsung, Acer, Dell and Sony. At the end of the day, the Toshiba, while very dependable and my current workhorse of 4 years, Toshiba has annoying function popups, the unit latch is broken and the power button will not turn off unless I push down with substantial force. The Macs, too pricey and didn't offer the features I needed in business. Acer, did not care for the layout although the features were impressive. Samsung, I really wanted the X360P but the price was never be lowered over 6 months. Dell, had that experience once before, Support was comical and frustrating. So, Sony it was. A little pricey but with the size, power and features I needed in my work, it was my choice. I'm in the process of removing many of the annoying Sony software so that I can work without sales pitches and quirky helful notes.
