Uncompromising design.

At 13.1¹ inches and just 3.4 pounds⁶, the Z is truly a go-everywhere notebook and a must-have for busy executives. Packed with powerful features like an available Blu-ray Disc^™ optical drive¹⁴ and boasting a spacious all-aluminum keyboard, the Z makes no compromises for its slim profile.

All-out performance.

The Z isn't just fast for an ultra-portable PC. Armed with the latest Intel^® Centrino^® 2 processor and DDR3 memory, it's among the fastest notebooks available today–regardless of size. There's also a revolutionary hybrid graphics system that features on-the-fly switching between the power-saving graphics chip or the dedicated NVIDIA^® GeForce^® 9300M GS chip for more robust performance.

Supreme battery life.

Maximize productivity with up to six hours⁹ of standard power, or opt for the large-capacity battery for an incredible nine hours⁹.

Business ready.

Built to endure the most grueling business trips, the Z is always travel-ready. Strong, multi-layered carbon fiber defends the LCD's exterior panel while the XBRITE-DuraView^™ display uses a special hard coating to minimize scratches. Data protection on select models is provided by G-Sensor^™ Shock Protection technology¹⁶ that senses sudden movements and safeguards your important files.

Dual SSD: The strong,

silent type.

Strength, speed and silence are hallmarks of the solid state drive (SSD). Engineered without moving parts, the Z's SSD delivers rock-solid durability and makes no noise—ideal for travel as well as the board room. Even better, the Z is available with a dual-channel 256GB (128GBx2) SSD for even quicker boot-ups, application launches and overall performance.

Available with

Windows XP.

It's good to have options. For your convenience, when you customize a Z with Microsoft Windows Vista Business or Ultimate, you also get a copy of Windows XP Pro on disk.* The choice is yours.

* Available with select hardware configurations only.
