Sony Z 13"

[DarrenM343]

Anyone bought one of expensive Sony Z laptops recently and know if there's anything special about the SSD's? What SSD's do they use in the Z series?

Although Sony seem to apply discounts to various parts I've noticed the end price usually ends up about the same each week. This week they're doing a free upgrade on the CPU but to upgrade from a 128GB SSD to a 256SSD it's £410!!!!! Just recently I bought an Intel 520 240GB for my desktop and know it was less than £270 so £410 to upgrade from 128GB to 256 seems a bit out there.
Read various reviews about them (the older pre Ivybridge model) and read about them using RAID but when I made a quick call to Sony they stated the UK models at least are single drives.

£410 to upgrade from 128GB SSD to 256? Wow........

Pretty sure they do use raid. And theyre custom ssds soldered on to the motherboard i think. Either way 410 is a crazy amount
if youre considering this laptop do what i have done and go for the s13a. Its a little heavier but you can reppace the mechanical drive woth an ssd and upgrade the ram
