Official Sony VPC-Z2 (VAIO Z 2011) Series Owners' Thread

It should be fine.
I have watched 1080P MKV's from a 64 SDXC class 10 card.

I'm using a 32GB transcend class 10 (SDHC though) for a couple of VMware machines (which run pretty good), HD videos and my music as well . It's reads about 20 MB/sec on HD-tune, fast enough for 1080p movies.

Hy everyone ! From today I noticed that my Vaio Z2 , when starting, it stays 15 sec on welcome screen, this making my computer starting in 42 sec. I do dot remember installing or modifying anything. I went to system restore but it only shows restore points from today. This happend to anyone before ?

Noticed this too, restore points and all. Seems to have happened after a recent Windows Update?

Anyone who has the new Vaio Z with the 1080p screen... how is it? Is anything on the screen even legible? 1080p on a 13" sounds both terrifying and awesome at the same time. And is the computer, you know, sluggish (overall) because of the high resolution? My dad has the old Z with the 1600x900 screen and you can just feel when using it how the screen weighs it down. Obviously the new one is in a totally different league, but would you say that the resolution noticeably degrades performance? Just wondering....

while i haven't tried a 1080 version of the z2 but i figure the difference is hardly even noticeable, and even more so while connected to the PMD under normal use. you'd probably have to be playing games or something to notice any difference in performance under high 'graphics' load. this is just speculation...

I found that this is caused by turning bluetooth off after pairing Nokia Lumia 800 with the Z2. Now I keep bluetooth on and everything is back to normal....

Interesting, I don't use any Bluetooth devices with my Z2. Was able to roll back to a random image restore point from the beginning of this month and things seem to be running more smoothly.

Hi,
can you people please recommend me an external monitor for extended desktop use?
Iam trying to get an old 4:3 LCD working but its cropped or stretched when hooking it to the PMD and extending the desktop to it.
Iam talking about a Z2 with 1600x900 (16:9) Ratio.
Currently there are only 16:9 and 16:10 LCDs are available.
The 16:9 LCDs are having a native resolution of 1920x1080 so there are some more pixels, but the ratio 16:9 is equal to the Z2s ratio, so nothing should get cropped or streched here, should´nt it?
When using 16:10 Ratio i think the Z2´s GFX is not able to handle 2 different Ratios and hence it has to crop or stretch the extend desktop.
Would you guys please give me Feedback, will i get a Fullscreen experience on both the internal display and the external lcd when using extended desktop and a 16:9 1920x1080 LCD?
Thanks!

I run my FHD Z2 with FHD TV through HDMI and 4:3 LCD 1280*1024 through VGA, and everything looks ok
