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

Gorgeous Screen, clear and crisp colour with stunning full HD video, Excellent sound, both from the inbuilt speakers as well as wired sound, Touch functions are exceptionally accurate, Waterproof features means it's safe to use in the kitchen
Placement of power and volume buttons is not in a natural position, Waterproofing involves covers over headphone, MicroSD and power plugs, Square edges are not everyones preferred design, Power button is easy to nudge while playing games due to its positi

Gripes aside, this is our favourite tablet we've used in a long time. The $539 [Australian] price point — up to $679 for 4G with 16GB — gives us a bit of pause, though. It's more expensive than the Nexus 10, but it has better guts and performs better (onc...

The Sony Xperia Tablet Z offers a refreshingly thin and light design, with great gaming performance, and a sharp screen. The MHL connection, impressive waterproofing, and expandable storage are notably appreciated extras
$500 for 16GB of storage is a heavy price hike compared with Sony's previous tablet entry, and the tablet's poor network performance and slow app loading cuts into its value. The low-light camera feature isn't as effective as a traditional flash
