Ready for the road, at home at home
Most modern laptops make you choose between convenience and function. Bigger computers offer the kind of power you need, but at the expense of travel ease. Models with smaller bodies are easy to pack, but don't pack performance. Get the best of both worlds with the VPCZ216GX/L from Sony. This black-and-blue beauty is designed to be the perfect travel companion, with a sleek body, long battery life, and SSD to keep your data safe. While you're traveling, it can take care of all your ordinary tasks. But when you want a little more might at home, you can plug it into the included Power Media Dock. This dock features a Blu-ray disc drive, powerful graphics card with 1GB of dedicated video RAM, as well as a host of connections. With the PMD, it can handle just about anything, including labor-intensive graphics and video tasks. Power, portability, and rugged good looks — it's all here.
What's in the box?
Included with purchase is the laptop, internal battery, AC adapter, power cord, battery charger adapter, Power Media Dock, stand for Power Media Dock, AC adapter for PMD, power cord for PMD, digital noise-cancelling earbuds, and a cleaning cloth.

Ive had this notebook for about a month now and thus far I am pleased with it I bought it to replace a 17 inch powerhouse Alienware that was over 6 years old and was like dragging a cinder-block around. The things that please me the most are the weight and back lit keyboard as most of my work is in a vehicle at night. The only things I could wish for on this computer would be the docking station to have the ability to draw its power from the notebook if needed, and bigger SSD hard drive.
