subject: Sony Vaio Z Series Vpc-z390x [print this page] Sony has yet again come with an upscale 13 inch laptop, Sony VPC-Z390X. Its ultra thin body structure, fast performance and presence of docking system for optical disk drive and discrete graphics can even make MacBook Air to run for its money.
Although this updated version of VAIO Z series comes at cheaper rates than its predecessors. However, the price rage still falls under premium priced laptops. It would be better to go for more ultra-Books, leaving behind GPU dock system of VAIO Z.
Sony VPC-Z390X is a 13 inch SSD laptop. Prior to this, Sonys VAIO Z series laptops are known for its high ending prices. However, its long life sliced battery and a unique GPU and optical disk drive dock makes its demand among the customers.
