    Hi fellas,

    I have this European Vaio VGN-Z with 1600x900 display. Im going to finish my masters abroad and thinking about switching my current lcd for fullHD one. I cant imagine better notebook for travelling but as sw developer Im used to multiple screen setups. Obviously Z will be my only computer and Im searching for as much sreen real estate as possbile.
    Im not sure if there even was 1080 option for first gen. Vaio Z (the one with only stamina-speed switch and with plastic battery cover).
    Please if somebody know part number of lcd Im searching for or maybe know if its possible to use lcd from second gen. Z (vpc-Z) please let me know.

    Thx

    There wasn't VGN-Z with FullHD screen and as much as I know, it's not possible to use the one from VPC-Z, sorry.
