What was the screen resolution of the 2011 VAIO Z?

It packed a 13.1-inch display at 1600x900, unusually sharp for a 13-inch laptop in 2011. Most rivals were still shipping 1366x768 panels.

It was an optional expansion dock, connected via Thunderbolt, that housed AMD Radeon graphics and optionally a Blu-ray drive with extra ports. It let the thin VAIO Z switch to real GPU power at a desk.

Its signature trick was an optional sheet battery that attached underneath and roughly doubled runtime. With both batteries, Sony advertised all-day use that few 2011 ultraportables could match.
