The angular design of OmniBalance is even more impressive given Sony managed to shave down the simple 6.9 mm thickness. Not need much in actual use - this isn't a gadget to put it in a Pocket, thin or not, but we have been programmed to believe that 'thin cool =' and the Z shelf would like to take. On a more practical level, the Tablet weighs less 500 g, at least 100g less than its direct competitors.

Design magazine folded previous tablets Sony may have disappeared, but the media playing the spirit are not - Xperia Tablet Z has an IR blaster to control equipment of the House, along with a custom Sony (Walkman) music player and a video player with solid references DLNA.

Here are the other vertices (and low) on the technical specifications for the Sony Xperia Tablet Z:

Resolution WUXGA screen 10.1 "with 224ppi is much better than what Samsung on Galaxy notes 10.1 (149ppi) and very close to the screen of the iPad 4 (264ppi). The chipset and the version of the Android OS are a little late, but isn't a deal breaker in our books.

There is resistance to water, of course, which have very few tablets. Predecessor of the Tablet, the IPX-4 certified Tablet S Z, was the only splash-proof. On the other hand an IP57 tablet as the compressed Z resists water jets and even immersion.
