Sony's latest tablet, the Xperia Z, is a large departure from the company's previous slates, and that's a good thing. This 10.1-inch slate takes a gorgeous 1920 x 1080-pixel display and a powerful quad-core processor and crams it into the thinnest chassis of any tablet on the market.

Want to take control of your TV? The Xperia Z has you covered thanks to its IR Blaster and Sony's Side View app. Best of all, this all comes together in a package that's not only beautiful, but can also take a swim in up to 6 inches of water for 30 minutes.
