When it comes to first impressions
The Xperia Tablet Z impresses in every aspect. When you first pick it up
You wonder if there's actually anything to it
As it's ridiculously light at just 0.49kg
Meaning if you chuck it in a bag you might forget it's even in there. While it might be a spacious 10.1-inch tablet
Sony has spared no expense in making sure it feels like it weighs absolutely nothi

The editors didn't like
Lack of weight makes it feel potentially less durable

Screen is a fingerprint magnet as per usual
Design
The thickness of the device is one thing that immediately stands out

Pale flat screen
Parts under hatches
Mediocre performance
Poor battery life
Skinny design results in flex
Doesn't challenge rivals in sheer power and speed
Sony has put a lot of effort into its Xperia Tablet Z
And it clearly shows through the gorgeous screen and fast specs. Yet
Despite the supreme hardware
Sony has managed to drop the ball on the software side of things
Stuffing its thin slate with spammy apps like Sony Select
PlayNow
Wi-Fi Checker
Garage and SocialLife
Which can all be sent straight to the bin - but that won't free up much
The odd lag
Digital media offer still not advantageous
Webcam practically useless in low lighting
As 1920 x 1200andup screens go
There are better
Average battery life
Not the latest version of Android
Display not as scratchproof as rivals
Widescreen format not entirely suited to productivity use
Water causes the touchscreen to register activity
Large bezel
Glossy finish is bad for outdoor use
Sharp edges can make the tablet uncomfortable to hold
Chassis flexes
Colours are a little warm
Old version of Android
The battery life isn't quite on a par with rivals and the screen
Ridiculously slim, Attractive, minimalist design, Fully waterproof, Full HD screen
Poor battery life, Skinny design results in flex, Doesn't challenge rivals in sheer power and speed
The Sony Xperia Tablet Z is the slimmest tablet around, with a minimalist look that will turn heads. It's waterproof too, allowing you to watch movies in the bath without fear of splashes. While its Full HD screen and quad-core processor are welcome ad...

Abstract: Can a tablet ever be too thin? Sony 's Xperia Tablet Z is the companion device to its (xcellent) Xperia Z mobile phone, and both use a slimline design that is stylish, angular, waterproof and dustproof. The Tablet Z is a lightweight 495g and just 6.9mm...
Tough and lightweight design, reasonable performance, decent screen
Average battery life, not the latest version of Android
An ultra-lightweight, slim yet rugged tablet that offers reasonable performance, but is let down slightly by superfluous software changes....

With the arrival of the incredibly priced Nexus 7 and 10, the game has changed for Android tablets, but Sony seems to have received the memo, scrunched it into a ball and eaten it, never to mention its existence again. If your heart is set on a Sony tab...

Extremely slim and light, Fast processor and graphics, Vibrant screen with good viewing angles
Ports behind fiddly flaps, Screen not as sharp as cheaper Nexus 10, Limited tablet apps compared to iOS
The Sony Xperia Tablet Z is a very good tablet - there's no doubting that. It's fast, has a good screen and is very thin and light. But it does no single thing appreciably better than its immediate rivals, and its unique features fall a little flat....
