Taking it in the hand, it seems that the sensation of the hand and the actual weight imagined do not balance and "oops" will become a strange balance feeling. It is equipped with Intel's Core processor, and it is the lightest class as a machine running Windows.


The RZ series is a "convertible" PC that can rotate liquid crystal parts like the company's MX series. Of course it is touch-panel type, so it can be operated with your finger like a tablet PC.

Body top panel based on "VH frame structure" that put Panasonic's technology. It is the state seen from the back of the side on which the keyboard of the main unit is mounted.


Although the frame made by cast magnesium is very lightweight, it is said to be strong against forces such as twisting. Fine ribs (walls) standing to separate frames make you feel high precision.

When actually tracing the surface with your finger, I was able to confirm that the thickness changes with "... su".
