New Sony Vaio Z speculation/news thread

Can somebody confirm that battery in retail units can be removed by user?

Yes it can. There are 8 screws that hold it in place so it's designed to be swapped daily, but still very easy to do. You can download the User Guide from Sony which has full instructions.

How can you run 3 monitors on Z1? I've a Dell U2709, a 27" monitor with 1920x1200 native res.looks pretty good

Home setup: 3 1920x1200 monitors, 1 off of the docking station DVI port and 2 off of USB->DVI adapters (plus the laptop screen itself).

Office setup: 4 1920x1080 monitors, 1 off of the docking station DVI port and 3 off of USB->DVI adapters (plus the laptop screen itself).

These are not used for gaming (although that actually works), so the lag on the USB monitors is not an issue for me.

Since the -native- resolution of a 27" monitor is greater than 1920x1200, surely there must be some scaling going on, yes?
