    True colour

    Beautiful image quality is essential for business, especially if you make a lot of multimedia presentations. Sporting the very latest X-black LCD technology, the VAIO FZ-Series gives you an ultra bright screen that’s great for working outdoors.

    Compact for Business

    Here’s one of the most compact notebooks around with a 15.4” screen - barely larger in size than most 14” notebooks!

    We’ve gone back to basics, redesigning the batteries and motherboard to create a truly mobile machine weighing 2.7 kilos that’s light enough to take to meetings, conferences and home for the weekend!


    Multimedia muscle

    Powered by the awesome Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor and with 2048MB of memory on board, this notebook easily handles a vast range of multimedia tasks.

    It features the new ultra efficient Intel® Centrino® Duo processor technology and a generous 120GB hard disc drive for storing all your files and folders. Working on the move is faster, easier and more secure with new Windows Vista™ Business.

    Radical design

    Its sleek and streamlined design looks good by your side whether you’re in the office or on the way to client meetings. The VAIO FZ-Series is elegantly finished in black and silver to reflect your professional image and strong enough to take the rough and tumble of business travel. A perfect combination of style and practicality.


    Instant videoconferencing

    There’s nothing like face-to-face communication to get your message across. With an integrated camera and microphone on your notebook, it’s easy to hold instant video discussions with customers and colleagues wherever you are in the world.

    You can also save time and improve your efficiency in the office by cutting back on time-consuming meetings.

    Go wireless

    Working and communicating from airports, train stations and client receptions can be a challenge.

    The VAIO FZ-Series makes that challenge as easy as possible with a variety of special buttons including a one touch wireless switch to fire up your wireless LAN and useful shortcut keys to save on mouse clicks. Don’t make life harder than it needs to be!
