The Sony VAIO BZ-Series VGN-BZ562NAB comes with Windows Vista pre-installed, but also provides a Windows XP downgrade disc should you wish. A 15.4inch widescreen display coupled with the Intel 4500M HD graphics card gives mid-range graphics performance should you wish to use the unit for some gaming on the side, however, anything more intensive will require an upgrade to the graphics processor. An Intel Core 2 DUO 2.0GHz processor gives the Sony VAIO BZ some extra grunt to the movement of information around the system which makes this unit a perfect candidate for some regular business computing that needs a system that is capable on demand. Security is also well covered with the inclusion of a biometric finger scanner as well as the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip allowing control of access on a per user basis.
FeaturesKey to the system and its applicability to a business environment is the use of the proprietary G-Sensor Shock protection technology. With this feature, should the unit detect any movement that may render data vulnerable, the hard drive will automatically lock up to secure its position and prevent any damage to the physical components of the drive. The 15.4 inch XBRITE LCD that is included gives brighter colors than other competing laptop LCD's as well as providing improved anti-glare reflection technology so you can easily view the screen in all environments. ErgonomicsSony has prided the construction of the VAIO series as a whole on being a more stylishly design laptop, while not compromising on features and performance. The BZ series case is constructed with a lightweight magnesium alloy that ensures the inner components of the laptop are well protected from any accidental bumps that may occur. The keyboard that is included with the unit is a full sized, so adjustment to a laptop from your usual desktop system should be no trouble, and in addition, it provides spill resistance for any mishaps that may happen while your moving about with the laptop. SummaryThe Sony VAIO BZ VGN-BZ562NAB is a handy 15.4 inch laptop that can satisfy your business or personal computing needs. The keyboard and hard drive features included are smart design choices as they account for regular mishaps that can occur when porting a laptop around. This laptop isn't going to outperform a desktop system, but it can take care of all your regular daily computing needs. Pros
