At the very least, it looks like the Z will be sticking with dual-core "Sandy Bridge" processors, with both i5 and i7 models available. No sign of a full HD 1080p screen yet; the listed 1600x900 resolution screen is far better than what is typically available on 13-inch notebooks. The models listed above have Solid State Drives (SSDs) listed as standard equipment.

There is no 'official' word yet on pricing or availability.
