Sony has quietly refreshed its VAIO Z-series of notebooks yet again. The new VAIO Z series for US consumers will come with Intel Core i7 microprocessors and support for1080p HD resolution on the displays. Back in January, Sony had refreshed the same VAIO Z series notebooks with Blu-ray optical drive option and HDMI out. This was at the Consumer Electronics Show 2010. 
Sony's VAIO Z series notebooks come with a 13.1-inch display screen and as of now, Sony offers a free upgrade to VAIO full HD premium Display (1920x1080) till the 3rd of July. In its "normal" avatar, it would come with 1600x900 VAIO Display. Apart from these, the VAIO Z series models now get the processor option of 2.66GHz Intel Core i7-620M with Turbo Boost technology that can make it run up to 3.33GHz. For that, all you need to add is $150 over the base price.
God knows what's going on in Sony's mind but it indeed is beefing up the 13.1-inch ultraportable VAIO Z series notebooks. Apart from new CPU, it would be lovely if Sony would add graphics power instead of letting users depend on integrated graphics.
