Sony VAIO voted best for business travellers

Praises for another exclusive product from the house of Sony

MORE plaudits for the Sony VAIO Z-series laptop (already praised here), which has been voted the best business-technology gadget in the Heathrow Travel Product Awards. Some 23,000 voters registered their opinions on the microsite, as part of a celebration of the gadgets on sale at Heathrow, a shopping centre with an airport attached.

As the spiel has it:

When it comes to supreme performance on the go, the Z Series manages to pack the power of a desktop into an ultra-slim, lightweight 13.1in chassis. Featuring 16:9 widescreen, high-power graphics card, up to six hours' battery life and built-in mobile broadband, it's the ultimate choice for working on the move – perfect for catching up on a long-haul flight.



You won't be too surprised to learn than one of Apple's iPods, the Touch 32GB, was named top travel gadget overall (by 49% of respondents), and Samsonite's Freeminder Flex was decreed the most innovative luggage.

But before we take these awards too seriously let us note that Paddington Bear was voted “Britain’s best souvenir”—not one imagines, a very competitive field.
