Last week, Sony released a video showcasing the beauty of their latest slate, the Xperia Tablet Z. In the video, Sony went out of their way to highlight both the outer beauty of the Tablet Z and inner beauty by disassembling the tablet and having its innards laid out on the table. While quite the impressive feat, this lead to the logical question of, “can the Xperia Tablet Z be put back together?’ In short, absolutely yes. While iFixIt has complained that the iPad and Surface tablets are nearly impossible to take apart without destroying them, the Xperia Tablet Z is not only put back together, but it’s also powered on to show full functionality.

Th only disappointing part of the video is that Shawn doesn’t end the piece by saying “zim zim zala bim” and then mystically disappearing in a puff of smoke. The magical video awaits you, after the jump.

Do the innards of a device matter to you?
