We in Japan Nagano, Sony has the privilege to interview Sony factories in c, s, z-series Designer, they gave us detailed explanations of the Sony products designed all aspects of the problem.
First we will on general situation and thinking about finishing of the z, and then share it on the design of specific technical details.
Sony VAIO has been pursuing a high level of mobility, in particular the z series, in a 13-inch notebook is the more we do, the better. Date back the source of the z-series, before a computer called SZ series, has made a great success, after which separate the 2 tributaries is the z-series and s series, z-series also has evolved from the early generations of the z-series, Z1 Z2 series up to now. This image shows the VAIO ultraportable models from 1997 to the present changes, is very lightweight and has its own characteristics of the product. In more than 10 years of VAIO history there have been many classic models, the vast majority of products are designed and developed by Nagano factory team. During this long process, in the development of various models of the accumulated experience and knowledge on the Z2 series have been fully applied to the latest, it can be said is the accumulation of a VAIO 10 anniversary of the technology and experience to achieve such a near-perfect product. Sony laptop batteries.
Next we see of is in recently two or three years we launched of some very portable of model, including in July 2008 launched of z series, is will performance and portable two aspects are balance of is good of products; October 2009 launched of x series, it of concept is like paper as thin of notebook computer, implementation has history Shang most thin of design, also let many people amazing; and 2010 launched of Z1 series, is in z of Foundation Shang further upgrade has performance and portable sexual, Can be described as evolutionary version of the integration of the two.
Now is the product of Z2 series in my hands, strong performance and lighter fuselage in one set of products. We can all see, Z2 series only 16.65 mm thickness flat inside the fuselage, using a standard voltage of the CPU, this design to overcome many difficulties in the implementation process, in this context is a very good work. First of all, is very thin, 16.65 mm thickness, weight less than 1.2 kg (specific weight based on specific product models on the market will have some gaps).
Z2 series 13.1-inch LCD screen is also of very high quality, you can implement full HD resolution of 1920*1080 or 1600*900, in terms of color reproduction of the performance is also very good. This LCD color NTSC standard 100% restore can be achieved, and can cover 96% the color field. From the performance, one of the most iconic features is the use of a standard voltage CPU, up to providing core I7 processor, this is very difficult to do. Now on the market a lot of light low-voltage version of the model is used in the ULV chips, even if it is known as the I7 processor, it only we take standard voltage at a rate of about half of the performance.
We applied a lot of innovative designs on the Z2, including specially designed motherboard, memory, and so on. Now is our boards shows, look at his side, opposite what are the characteristics of electronic devices at all. Electronic components on the reverse side was not just to control its thickness, is mounted on the side of halving thickness, to ensure that machines are lightweight. Board version can be seen on standard voltage of the CPU, because with it, the boards of the original density is very high. Can see 8 little squares is the memory, in order to achieve lightweight design, we have adopted is customized for smaller sized memory.
Standard voltage CPU power of 35W, to achieve normal operation requires a good heat dissipation, but the more fuselage little more difficult to heat, so we used a dual fan design, guaranteed on such thin fuselage for better heat dissipation. I do get is the Z2 used dual-fan Assembly. Is removed is the fan on the left hand, right hand is the thermal conductivity of the metal frame, better heat conduction going out, but also to better support fan. A fan into two fans will not only reduce the thickness, but also to guarantee the ventilation effect.
You can see that this is a previous z-series fan, is a relatively thick, and the other is Z1 fans, already a bit thin, a little small, but now new Z2 thinner's fans, through the redesign of fan shape, to achieve a smaller size also has a very good in the case of heat rejection performance. Fans of the new Z series is a completely innovative ideas to implement. Sony laptop batteries.
There's also a point worth mentioning is that if the two fan rotation cycle, then the noise will zoom in, resonates, which is bad for the experience. How to solve the problem? Two film fans a 37 piece leaves, one was 41 leaves, not the same, and they are all prime. Why with such a prime leaves it? If that is a multiple of 3 and 6 leaves, separate turns, there will be the same cycle, noise frequency will increase, and Prime design cycle would not have met with problems, to reduce noise.
New Z2 series because of a new generation of SSD solid state hard drive, so the start time is significantly reduced. As a video demo, new Z2 is faster than previous-generation SSD version of the Z1 start speed has dramatically improved. Z1 series in less than half a minute before the start time is soon, but now we start new Z2 series achieved 13 seconds faster on record. Of course, start faster not only because of the new SSD, and some, including CPU design adjustments as well as related, is a comprehensive technology.
Can see Z2 series bases and panels are made of carbon fiber material. Carbon fiber material is mainly used on aircraft and F1 racing, it is characterized by light and strong, but it hard to work it out is, to solve manufacturing process problems. In addition, the keyboard section of the fuselage, is another material used, by one made of aluminum alloy solid shape, and this portion of the screen hinge is also aluminum alloy material, by alloy combined trapezoid shape, solid degree of product improved significantly. Through the several parts of carbon fiber and aluminum alloy combination, coupled with high fastness in the stereo shaping, forming the overall design is light and strong.
For portability, it is important to the life of the battery. The built-in battery in our body has much longer than the general use of time. On this basis, we also design the base-additional battery, and cradle battery can achieve twice the time one day would be all right. Install base after the battery, and only 25mm of thickness, weight 1.7 kg, so going out carrying is no problem.
We also designed a new Z2 series multimedia expansion base, with a slot-load an external optical drive, you can watch the DVD and Blu-ray disc, you can easily see the movie. And it is more than one optical drive, there is an external discrete graphics, ensure greater display. Via a data cable connection to the machine body, display performance would have significantly escalated the issue is not playing a game, or even edit video they can accomplish. When the external on the frame you want to connect an external power supply. Frame also has a bearing, can stand up and placing, comparative aesthetics, convenience, or hiding behind a computer screen.
Therefore, this product is a concept that's important, in the indoor environment, you can connect an external frame for an external display and performance graphics display; go out when you can be removed, to ensure that demand out carrying computer use. We pass comparison video below you can see the image contrast. Comparison of Z1 and Z2, you can see the indicators differ by almost 1 time times the graphics power of Z2 graphics processing speed is much faster.
And then there are many display functions, through external video card on the body and the extended frame, total external 3 display, coupled with their screen, you can implement a 4 screen displays. This feature is ideal for securities traders, fever level gamer, or business persons in need of multi-screen display to use. On the base also provides various independent interface can connect different devices such as USB. You can often use equipment on the extended frame, when you need to go out or come back as long as the unplug or plug in the base of a thread can be very easy to use.
Z2 offers a backlit keyboard, can light up the keyboard, suitable for use in Dim situations, such as or airplane lights dark before going to bed was very comfortable to use. Then there is the Z2 used the Sony Exmor unique to the camera, in Dim conditions and they can shoot clear image.
To sum up, it can be said VAIO technology with the highest accumulated so far, as well as the entire Sony Group owned by the State of the art technologies are used to the new Z2 PC to create the best so far of VAIO computers, can become a living and working in the non-Chang Hao partners.
Next we open the machine, look at the contents.
First of all, from the design point of view, to achieve the characteristics of light and strong. To achieve this, in addition to materials, design technology, we also have a part worthy of mentioning is the battery. Our general computer battery is stuck on the body, this will need to set aside a battery slot, fuselage could not do a very thin can also affect a firm level. Z2 the batteries we use 8 screws fixed on a flat against the body and let it become part of the fuselage, thinner on the one hand, strong levels while strengthening the body as a whole.
We can see the screw is developed, fixed at the same time can also play a role in brackets at the bottom of the fuselage. No screwdriver, coin can be demolished, is a human design. Considering the needs of beautiful and strong, location and number of screws are precision design. In the case of screws is not very great, maximize ruggedness. Screw locations are symmetrical.
Interface addition is the wired network is usually very thick, but we collapsed manner through the use of interfaces, compressed size of the network cable connector, which is used for the first time on the x series, this time should be used on a Z2. VGA interface is specially made, also in x-series on the application of technology.
Now you can see single packaging boards, all of its electronic components are placed on a flat surface. Where there is an empty position is on the 3G module. You can see, in fact, batteries accounted for more than one-third of location, remaining position we want to load all of the other things. This is the SSD solid state drives, as well as specially designed memory. Can see the positive and negative sides of SSD controller, dual channel fast storage. Sony laptop batteries.
Design Assembly is very high, but our strength is the design and production are in Nagano factory work, so that through good communication can make production easier. Single package all electronic device is technically difficult, must not only have an idea can make a simple point, because on one side would have a fever for the Board deformation, also consider the circuit complexity of alignment problems, by repeated computer simulations designed to handle a variety of situations to determine the final can be achieved. Can see fine fibre line is through fiber and external frame and transmission of information between hosts.
Backlit keyboard parts, we can see the Green film is used to provide backlight, using EL backlight technology is more advanced than LED technology, as long as it's thin layer of the film to light. Original LED light brightness is lighter, but the benefit is that you can select EL thinking on place on, not overall were on, lights up the feeling is not the same.
Please, the memory is also a thinner, is specially developed for memory modules. The memory on the edge of the Board also has gaps. Why is not a standard shape it? Mainly to lighter, even light 1 gram, as long as it is no use of the parts are cut off.
We see so many parts, so much of the performance are integrated into a thin, small, light and space, that is our advantages and strengths of the VAIO accumulated over the years, is very valuable to consumers, technology.
