The VAIO FZ is a 15.4 entertainment PC in the body of an

incredibly thin-and-light notebook
MORE DISPLAY FOR YOUR DOLLAR
The thin-and-light VAIO FZ notebook packs big power and even bigger
entertainment into a small, portable package. This unique 5.75 pound with
standard battery PC combines all the benefits of a 15.4 widescreen display
with the dimensions or footprint of a much smaller notebook. The VAIO
FZ is designed to maximize LCD space with advanced space-saving
engineering techniques implemented throughout the chassis, including a
reconfigured battery and motherboard design. The result is a brilliant, 15.4
widescreen display in the body of a portable, thin-and-light notebook.
EXPERIENCE BLU-RAY DISC MEDIA PLAYBACK
Watch movies in the best high-definition picture quality available today
with the VAIO FZ Premium notebook, the worlds first thin-and-light Blu-
ray Disc-enabled notebook . Until you experience movies and concerts on
Blu-ray Disc media, you wont know just how good high-definition can be.
With pristine Full 1080 HD resolution and stunning clarity, Blu-ray Disc
technology is an impressive new way to enjoy your entertainment. Blu-ray
Disc also enjoys the most extensive industry support as it is backed by
more than 85% of consumer electronics companies, seven of the biggest
movie studios, the world's two largest music labels, plus PLAYSTATION 3
and leading game companies.
ELEGANCE AND SOPHISTICATION
With subtle sophistication and undeniable elegance, the lightweight VAIO
FZ notebook is crafted with an aesthetic touch and careful attention to
detail. From its exciting entertainment functions to its brilliant XBRITE-
HiColor display, the VAIO FZ is a beautifully designed, thin-and-light
mobile entertainment center.
XBRITE-HICOLOR LCD TECHNOLOGY
By applying engineering techniques from our BRAVIA high-definition LCD
TVs to our new and improved XBRITE-HiColor LCD technology, we've
created a notebook PC display that reaches an incredible color contrast of
90% - without increasing LCD power consumption. With richer greens and
fresher blues than ever before, the new and improved XBRITE-HiColor LCD
technology reproduces vivid colors and delicate contrasts with uniform
brightness. Far superior to the 40-50% color reproduction of most notebook
PCs, the VAIO FZ notebook with new and improved XBRITE-HiColor LCD
technology delivers an incredibly luminous display that reproduces 90% of
the color spectrum.
ENTERTAINMENT CONTROLS
An A/V fans dream PC, the VAIO FZ notebook includes a full set of
dedicated multimedia controls just above the keyboard. A round A/V
interface jumps out of the clean design of the VAIO FZ, adding a unique and
practical touch to its sophisticated appearance. These intuitive music and
video controls are user-friendly, so you can easily control your CDs, DVDs,
pictures and home movies with the push of a button.
The VAIO FZ180 notebook is a thin-and-light Blu-ray Disc-enabled
notebook featuring a 15.4 widescreen LCD with XBRITE-HiColor
technology. With a built-in camera and microphone for video
messaging and Blu-ray Disc optical drive for massive storage
capacity , this lightning-fast, super-powerful PC is packed with
exciting entertainment features.
