We have not heard much about Sony’s ultra slim VAIO Z in months, but if we’ve, we’ve always been left with more questions than answers. We have seen its specs (but not handsome face) splashed on various European websites, while Sony, for its part, has only made the coy promise that its newly redesigned S series thin-and-lights should not meant to switch the more premium Z line. Lo and behold, we’re now seeing photos of what purports to be the subsequent-gen Z series and, as always, we’re left wanting more. In these pics, you’ve supposedly got the Z — sometimes with a black lid, sometimes gold — sitting next to an external dock housing what seems to be an optical drive. In the event you drop in at the gossip circles in NotebookReview’s forum, you’ll read some speculation that there is an external GPU baked in there, too — a compelling idea, though even “Eddie,” the fellow who leaked these photos, doesn’t seem completely confident as to what that peripheral actually does. In view that the Z series was MIA from Sony’s site for months now, we are hoping the corporate gets a move on and outs this thing — if it really is, indeed, what this is. Until then, amuse yourselves with photos and crowd-sourced specs on the source links.
