    What is the reason behind this obscure leaving out of useful information??

    Which graphic card is in the Z-series?? Sony refuses to write this in the specs.

    It is written in the specs on the main website... the Z has a switchable Nvidia 9300GS (you can switch on-the-fly to Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD for more battery).

    Because Sony are the ninjas of the notebook industry. They dont reveal their secrets.

    yeah yeah right, now i see it :)

    I made the mistake of clicking "shop now" to customize one, because thats where you normally get the options for graphic cards if you have any choices. On this page there is every other spec, but no word on the graphics. PLus they dont write on the main spec label when you chose series. I hate sonystyle's web design...

    see if you can find it:
