    Hi!
    within the Z series, is the "premium carbon fiber" option on the upper case cover only? or is it inside (like where the keyboard is) we well?

    outside case only (the lid decoration).
    the inside still the same (the kb area) using brush alu.

    Sony's laptops seems like a cheap plastic compare to the Dell's Adamo or the X360 (Samsung).

    but they are the only once to offer a strong CPU with their 13 inch laptops...

    That can be a very misguiding statement. ;)

    the normal Z itself made from carbon fibre. what makes it different with premium carbon fibre Z is the lid decoration. the premium carbon sorta have brush carbon fibre for the lid while the normal one just a matte black carbon fibre.

    the whole notebook itself consist of plastic, carbon fibre and alu (at kb surface).

    eitanisrael: its due to carbon fibre. try feel the surface of the backside and the lid of Z than compare with plastic. you will find the difference.
