The latest in the Sony Z series of laptops, the Sony VAIO VPC-Z214GX is as thin as the Apple MacBook Air 13-inch and many times more powerful. This laptop comes with a high-end docking station that a ton of features and offers a comprehensive battery slice. While the “Light Peak” Power Media Dock, a Blu-ray drive, AMD discrete graphics, and the host of connectivity ports include, is innovative, this is a desktop fixture and not intended to take anywhere. The laptop offers 15 hours of laptop battery life, but does so with the extended battery slice attached to the laptop, another external component.

The Z214GX is a rival of the Apple MacBook Air 13-inch Samsung Series 9 in terms of thinness. The carbon fiber (outside) and aluminum (interior) frame is 0.56 inches thick, slightly thinner than the Samsung Series 9 and 13-inch Apple Air. At 2.5 pounds, the Z214GX the lightest 13-inch ultraportable laptop and one of the slimmest, but without the second battery. Unlike many of its competitors, also contains an extensive Z214GX 49WH battery slice that snaps on the standard battery and spans the bottom of the laptop. With its battery slice attached to the laptop weighs 4.3 pounds, so heavy as a 14-inch laptop, like the 4.4-pound HP Pavilion dm4-1265dx.
