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
IPad is formidable competition at this price
Screen is a fingerprint magnet as per usual
Design
The thickness of the device is one thing that immediately stands out
With its striking clean lines a
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

Abstract: Plus, it's quite apparent that Sony has listened to the feedback from their customers. To that effect Sony has included an improved 1920×1200 reality display that is powered by the Bravia Engine. This display is much brighter, sharper and colorful than th...
Slick design and useful features make the Tablet Z Sony's best yet — but is it worth the money?Let's not mince words — in a market dominated by Apple's iPad, any high-priced 10-inch Android tablet is a tough sell. Over the past year, the Android slates th...

Thin, light, and well-made, Waterproof tablets are awesome, Solid performance and battery life
Screens coloring is off, Everything goes haywire when really wet, $500 for an Android tablet is hard to justify
Water-proof chassis for when accidents happen, Stays mostly true to the Android UI, Relatively long-lasting battery life, Beautiful, easy-to-read, and widescreen 1080p display, Extremely light
Many of the applications that Sony packaged are overkill, Comes with an older version of Android—and you never know when the next software update will be, Ugly, The camera takes awful pictures
Display is outstanding, with vivid colors, Extremely thin and lightweight, Snappy performance, Waterproof and dust resistant
Doesn't currently run the latest version of Android, Covers for ports seem flimsy and likely to break off, $499 price a premium compared to alternatives like Nexus 10 or Kindle Fire HD, Display doesn't match the pixel density of competi
The Xperia Tablet Z was one of those review products that hurt to pack back into its box. I didn't want to send it back. I really enjoyed using it and while I still turned to my iPad for some games, during the time that it was here, the Sony tablet was th...
Incredibly thin and light, Vibrant, high-resolution screen, Comfortable to hold, Powerful processor & specs, MicroSD for more storage, Water and dust resistant
Runs older version of Android, Google Play store lacks tablet app selection of iPad, Interface can lag a little, $100 more expensive than Nexus 10
The Sony Xperia Tablet Z is the most impressive Android tablet we've ever held and a strong competitor to the Nexus 10, Surface RT, and iPad 4. It's as light and thin as we've hoped tablets could be, but doesn't sacrifice battery life or power. And did ...
Like most premium tablets (i.e. the Nexus 10), the Sony Xperia Tablet Z doesn't come cheap — $499 for 16GB variant and $599 for the 32GB. It's a very hefty price tag, but as they always say, you get what you pay for. The Tablet Z is one of the better perf...
