The Z590 measures 8.3 by 12.4 by 1.2 inches and weighs 3.2 pounds—more compact and at least a half a pound lighter than its predecessor, the VAIO VGN-SZ791N. It’s slightly heavier than the Apple MacBook Air (3 pounds) but lighter than the Voodoo Envy 133 (3.5 pounds) and the Lenovo ThinkPad X301 (3.3 pounds). When it comes to design, the Z590 is just as stunning as the SZ series. Clad in carbon fiber, the LED widescreen is as thin as several sheets of paper put together. Of course, since it’s so thin, screen flex is a concern, but Sony has been using this design for several years now with no apparent ill affects. Aluminum, which covers the Apple Air’s lid, is sturdier and arguably more elegant, while the Lenovo X301′s combination of magnesium and carbon fiber materials better equip it for the bumpy road.

The Z590′s 13.1-inch LED widescreen is smaller than that of the SZ791N (13.3 inches). This represents the industry’s movement to the 16-by-9 screen form factor, which is common in HDTV displays. The size difference is barely noticeable, because the 1,600-by-900 resolution packs in more pixels than its predecessor did, and really makes high-definition content and high-resolution photos really pop. Until now, resolution this fine was unheard of on a 13-inch laptop: The Lenovo X301 tops out at 1,440-by-900, while the Voodoo 133 and the Apple Air have 1,280-by-800 resolutions. Although the higher resolution makes the text look smaller, it’s still quite readable on screen.

The laptop also comes with a variety of fun ports. It has 3 USB ports, a VGA port, a headphone and microphone jack, an ethernet port, the power port, and an HDMI port. I’ve found the HDMI port to be useful because we can now watch HD movies on our HD screen in HD (hey, Blu-Ray is awesome). I would have liked more USB ports (maybe one more like most laptops of this size), but that’s what USB hubs are for. The laptop also comes with special AV buttons above the keyboard. These buttons are useful sometimes, but I rarely use them. The AV buttons are supposed to also let you open up a video player without booting into Vista, but apparently this model doesn’t support that.
