Manufacturer's product description
The first thing you'll notice when you use a VAIO SZ is how much better things look on screen. That's all down to the latest generation X-black screen with LED technology. World class engineering on the inside, and on the outside too. The new styling means greater ease of use in any position. It's not just about being strong or powerful. Security is also about outsmarting the snoopers. Security is knowing nothing bad is ever going to happen; knowing you can trust the technology designed to protect you.
