    is there a way to see the difference between Carbon Fiber VS. Premium Carbon Fiber ??

    maybe a photo or something?

    buying Z model via sony store can come with the premium, but buying via a reseller won't come with the premium.

    honestly imo its all about looks. i have one old tx laptop with regular carbon fiber. and the newer tz model with premium carbon fiber. the regular carbon fiber is more of a solid black while the premium has like a sparkly blue pearl (like car paint) in the carbon fiber.

    My premium CF has a slight redish/purple and blue tinge to it. Looks good in different lights
