Sony and Apple have been longtime rivals in the premium consumer-electronics world, with both manufacturers setting trends and making fashion statements while pushing the boundaries of technology.
The companies now clash once again, each with flagship products in a category that pushes the envelope of form and function: the ultraportable-class notebook computer.
Apple’s Macbook Air has defined avant-garde since its introduction in 2008. The latest iteration follows that tradition, sporting a sleek thin aluminum frame, a full-sized keyboard and screen, with no moving parts.
Not to be outdone, Sony also introduced the latest to its Vaio Z line, its answer to the Macbook Air and every other ultraportable this July. Featuring a carbon fiber and aluminum body and hardware typically reserved for desktops, Sony aims for brains as well as beauty.
