The world’s lightest* PC notebook
The VAIO X11Z1E takes PC portability to a new level. Crafted in carbon fibre and aluminium, the notebook weighs in at just 780g. With a 13.9mm full flat chassis, it’s thin to the limit. Pop it under your arm, carry it in one hand; they’re both possible with the VAIO X Series. Optional accessories like a leather carrying case and wire-free Bluetooth® mouse simply enhance its mobility.

Appearing on the big screen
The latest X-black technology with LED delivers images rich in colour, detail and depth, while enhancing durability and reducing reflection. The ultra-thin, streamlined 11.1-inch screen means you’ll be able to watch movies just as the director intended in their original format, with 16:9 aspect ratio. Its dimensions also make it large enough for you to view two web pages side-by-side, for moments when you want to multi-task.

Built to last
By using carbon fibre in the chassis, Sony has not only enhanced the notebook’s weightlessness but also its strength. A Rigid Arc Structure ensures that it can withstand everyday knocks and shocks, while a groove around the edge of the LCD and palm rest help to reduce external damage.

Data safety is ensured with the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) which uses encryption to prevent unauthorised access. The X11Z1E also comes with the McAfee Internet Security Suite, to protect you and your data online.
