    The best 13" laptop in the market right now is the Sony Z. No 13" laptop can compare to this one, it wins in all marks. Most of you are going to agree with me, some are not, but to those who say its not the best 13" laptop, feel free to tell me why and which one is better in your opinion.


    I researched each and every 13" laptop out there and all have there cons including the Sony Z, but in terms of overall features and what it offers, Sony Z came on top.

    I can assure you that nobody can name me a better 13" laptop. But for those who insist, go ahead.

    Those who are in the market for a 13" laptop, look no further. :cool:

    What a revolutionary conclusion. Now as soon as I get $1800 to blow on a 13" notebook I'll be sure to go order one. :rolleyes:

    It's a great laptop, that's for sure. It's just too damn expensive for me to buy.

    Well here is the thing, quality does come at a price. And like an old saying goes, cheap things turn out to be pricey at the end.

    And for the person who told me to say why i think its the best 13" laptop... here I go,

    It has the best screen
    Great battery life, one of di best
    light weight but not on power, it has a great processor, dedicated graphics card and if you want to save battery life, it has an integrated gpu. You can switch GPU anytime with a button.
    One of the best keyboards in the market.
    Quality webcam that moves in any direction for adjustment (nice extra).
    Comes with 4GB RAM
    Has an HDMI port.
    Comes with dvd/cd burner/player. And if you have the extra cash, you can include a blue ray player.
    Well built.

    Etc.........................

    I'd say it's the best ultraportable laptop by far, especially with its unique graphics card and powerful processor under the lightweight category.

    If you prefer a better graphics card and only need like 2 hours of battery life, you can find other laptops though.

    I would agree with you on most points but I will never buy a sony z in its current form (and no, money is not an issue).

    Sony disables hardware virtualization in its bios which is totally unacceptable for me and others who need this enabled for work purposes. When and if they enable VT I'll be the first in line to buy one. Until then it's a $3,500AUD paperweight :(

    I made a typo buddy. haven't you ever seen that in your 80 years of age?

    And your right about that, it shouldn't go longer since what i mention above is 100% correct.

    As you can see, no one can mention a better laptop. I just wanted to open everybody's eyes & make a point here.

    There is no perfect laptop.

    Its too fragile for me, I wouldn't trust myself throwing it in and out of a bag or suitcase in case I break it somehow, so therefore I won't buy it (especially at +AUD3,500 as said above). So while it may be amazing in alot of ways it isn't perfect for my needs. I'm really hoping Lenovo bring out a more powerful replacement to the x301 actually.
