    The VPCZ13 has a TPM module for BitLocker, the VPCZ12 does not. BitLocker is implemented by Windows 7 Ultimate. Look in the Z owner's thread, we kind of discussed it.

    Seems that the wifi card is not the same I’m not sure!
    The z12 has a 6200 but the z13 have 6250, but I’m not really sure
