Vaio Z with 11th-Gen Intel core processor, carbon fibre build, 65 W fast charging launched

Vaio unveiled a new flagship laptop that comes with a contoured carbon fibre build. Touted to bring exceptional toughness with a lightweight design, the device apparently weighs around one kilogram. The Vaio Z (2021) sports a 14-inch Ultra-HD 4K (3,840 x 2,160 pixels resolution) display with HDR support and the display is attached to a lid that can open up to 180 degrees. The screen can also be rotated once opened by pressing the Fn + 2 key. The company claims that the display can be opened and closed with one hand — without touching its palm rest.
