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

The new Sony VAIO VPC-Z2 (VAIO Z Mid-2011 - 2nd Gen Intel Core i5/i7 CPU - SandyBridge) series has been announced. With some fellow members here already having just placed their orders for one, I thought we can start a dedicated thread for this brand new series.

Hopefully, you guys don't mind that I have the honor of creating this thread.

More info on this series from the Sony USA web site:

VAIO Z Series Laptops | Sony Store USA

Fellow member cherrybombaz has got a very helpful & useful post on Useful Guides/Resources. The link to that post is as follows:

If anyone wants me to add anything else to this opening post, please kindly send me a PM with the details & I'll be very happy & willing to do so. A big thanks in advance.

Congrats to all VAIO VPC-Z2 series notebook owners & enjoy your new purchase.

May snatch a VPC-Z214GX/L

 

looks extremely sketchy. Its up on amazon too. I would wait until its on the actual sony site though.

 

Wow.. and thats without the PMD? Crazy high price.

 

Base configuration WITH PMD will be $1999 USD, according to beaups. Those prices are wrong. They are just placeholder pages.
