MSI's forthcoming Summit E13 Flip is also a slim convertible productivity laptop. It is a true 2-in-1 convertible, supports inking, and has optional 5G LTE while also pushing the extremes in design and pricing, starting at $2,900. Lenovo's new ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga gets back to the crazy thin, light, and immensely flexible territory. You do get much better audio, a Type-A port (plus HDMI), a taller 16:10 display, and pricing starts at $1,200, making it much more accessible. Razer Book 13 has powerful performance for its class, but it's nearly a pound heavier with a worse keyboard. But there are a lot of notebooks that compete in other ways at far lower costs. There are no immediate laptops that combine extreme lightness with this 35-watt processor making VAIO Z a nearly one-of-a-kind Ultrabook. Source: Daniel Rubino / Windows Central (Image credit: Source: Daniel Rubino / Windows Central) VAIO has some extreme copper heat piping to keep that 35W processor cool. Venting is unique with dual fans and a right-sided intake and left-side exhaust with some residual venting in the rear (hence why so few ports). You can open VAIO Z with one hand too, which is a nice touch. The overall design is familiar to the VAIO series, with a rear lifting mechanism that allows more air below the laptop and an angled typing experience. Ports are scarce with just two USB Type-C (Thunderbolt 4) and a full HDMI port, which is still used extensively in Japan and in business markets where this is aimed. A shortcut button flips the display and the trackpad letting the person opposite you see the screen for presentation purposes. The display can tilt back 180 degrees to lay completely flat. It is extremely color accurate and features HDR for higher-contrasting colors and video content. The display is a stunning 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) anti-glare non-touch. VAIO Z is the Grand Seiko of laptops: Precision and quality. RAM starts at 16GB LPDDR4 but can go up to 32GB (onboard). Indeed, VAIO puts its laptops through extreme quality testing with bending, drop, and flex tests, and the VAIO Z complies with the MIL standard (MIL-STD-810 H).īesides the powerful H-series processor, VAIO uses PCIe Gen 4 for the SSD, which more than doubles traditional Ultrabook read and write speeds (more on those below). It's also likely why it is so darn expensive. This ability allows the VAIO Z to be both incredibly light but also tough and rigid. VAIO can now curve the Carbon Fiber around the edges as three-dimensional structures instead of just flat 2D panels. While Lenovo uses Carbon Fibers in many of its ThinkPad laptops, VAIO uses a new "three-dimensional molding" technique effectively makes the entire laptop chassis Carbon Fiber instead of just the lid and bottom. VAIO uses some incredible engineering with the VAIO Z. Intel Core i7-11375H (35W TDP) up to 5GHz
