New Sony Vaio Z speculation/news thread

^IIRC beaups said the new Z uses a similar cooling system as the SA/SB, therefore the vents are on the rear.

So the left side of the notebook has nothing? That would be a first. Why not add some extra USB ports at least since there is no optical drive there. Seems strange to me.

^ The left side has the single port: VGA. Quite possibly that ExpressCard may be there as well, though no precise info about it (I'd say rather "unlikely").

Why unlikely?

They should put the headphone and mic jacks back on the left where they were on the first generation Z. Having it on the front interferes with typing and makes it impossible to use a mini-jack-to-jack adapter when using the laptop on your lap.

^Headphone jack is on the right. I suppose nothing is on the front except wireless controls. I meant SD and Sony cards reader is more likely on the left instead of ExpressCard. No photos to prove unfortunately.

Would it be safe to say that since these sites are beginning to post sales pages for the VPC-Z21 that a release is imminent?

I think beaups said no VGA built into the main unit but it will be on the external.
