    Is there any non-Z VAIO now that has a FullHD VAIO Premium display? The new E and S, at least in Europe only show Plus as the option (there is a Premium option but not for FullHD).
    In the US, Sony website does not say which display it is, but from experience with the F series, I bet they are all Plus and not Premium :(

    Well there is the ''premium'' S13p 900p display which isn't really a premium, due to its mediocre black and contrast levels. Sony only offers one other model with full HD is the S15 which has a 1080p ips display from LG, this is marketed as the 'plus' as it does have the orange-gate problems.

    So yes technically it is all 'plus'. I'm not so sure how the screen on the Z3 900p display is like, and yes Sony EU does currently sell the Z3 with the 900p screen (though I hypothesise that it's still miles ahead of the s13p 900p display).
    The 1080p display in the is optional in Europe, I've seen the 1080p display on the Z and it's sensational, best screen I have ever seen on a notebook.

    I thought Sony sort of abandoned the F series and rolled it into the S series.
