First Windows laptops to use Intel's next-generation data-transfer technology announced Sony has announced a Vaio laptop that features a version of the latest high-speed Thunderbolt I/O technology designed by Intel and Apple. The Vaio Z is pitched as a rival to Apple's MacBook Air, with its optical drive and dedicated graphics card supplied in an external 'Power Media Dock' to minimise size and weight. This is attached via what Sony calls a 'Light Peak' connection, with a USB port (rather than Mini DisplayPort) at the other end. The Power Media Dock houses an ATI Radeon HD 6650M graphics card, a Blu-ray/DVD drive and USB, HDMI and VGA ports. The Vaio also has a Core İ7 processor and up to 8GB of RAM. The Light Peak port offers high-speed data transfer between the laptop and the dock in much the same way as the Thunderbolt technology first used in the MacBook Pro series launched by Apple earlier this year. However, Sony is using an optical version of the I/O interface, rather than the copper cable supported by Apple's Thunderbolt implementation. "The Power Media Dock links to the Vaio Z via a high-speed optical cable. This proprietary data connection was created in collaboration with Intel and is based on Light Peak. Originally, this technology was designed to be used with an optical rather than copper cable," said Sony spokesperson Jessica Simpson. The 17mm-thick laptop's chassis is made from lightweight carbon-fibre, and tips the scales at just 1.15kg. It features a 13.1in (1600x900-pixel) display. Sony's Vaio Z was expected to launch as we went to press. At press time, Sony had yet to confirm pricing details.
