Since nearly all new Vaio computers are using a touch display, Sony thought that it was time to re-think how people would want to use their laptops. The idea behind the Vaio Flip is that with touch, it would be nice to have a “real laptop” that also offers a “flat” mode that is more touch-centric, maybe closer to a table computer than a classic tablet. Finally, having a “viewing” mode where the the display is upright, but without the keyboard in front of it could be desirable for presentations or simply for entertainment.

At IFA 2013, Sony introduces the Vaio Tap 11, a tablet-PC that is super-thin (0.39”) and comes with a detachable keyboard-cover. This is a beautiful design, and it turns out that this is NOT a slow computer. Despite its small internal volume, the Vaio Tap 11 can use the latest Intel Core processor – up to Core i7, says Sony. This is quite a feat for a device that would look like a 10” Android tablet at first glance.

Sony Vaio Tap 21 All-In-One PC
Posted in: Today's Chili
The Sony Vaio Tap 21 is an all-in-one (AOI) PC that refines the design of the original Vaio Tap 20 launched last year. The Tap 21 addresses this new trend of having home computers be somewhat “mobile” within the home. The battery life is of course relatively limited (a few hours in general), but this is a new usage model, so it’s fair to say that things will evolve quickly when PC makers figure out what people really want to do with computers like these.

It’s been a couple of weeks since we heard any news regarding Sony’s Vaio line as the last bit of news we reported was on their new Vaio Duo, which is the company’s “slider hybrid” machine. It seems those weeks of silence have now been broken as Sony is announcing a new line of luxury Vaio laptops that are being called “Red Edition” and is not only adding a fresh coat of paint to previously released Vaio laptops, but also bumping up their specs.

Sony VAIO Pro 13/11 announced
Posted in: Today's Chili
Here we are with yet another couple of Ultrabooks from the good people over at Sony, with the VAIO Pro 13/11 being announced. These were claimed by Sony to be the lightest touch capable Ultrabooks in their respective classes, and I don’t suppose that the clever implementation and use of carbon fiber for its case had anything to do with such an “achievement”, hmmm? The touch enabled VAIO Pro 11 would tip the scales at approximately 870 grams, while the touch enabled VAIO Pro 13 is a wee bit heavier by weighing down the average scale by a mere 1.060 kg.
Regardless of which particular model you decide to settle for, the VAIO Pro 13/11 will come with a uni-direction carbon fiber body and Hexa-shell design that delivers the kind of extra durability which mobile computers tend to require. Not only that, being lightweight does not mean that Sony has skimped on quality – no sir, as the Japanese firm also brings a comfortable typing experience for the VAIO Pro 13/11 by featuring a wide key pitch and stroke in order to allow for an extremely natural typing experience. Apart from that, the VAIO Pro 13/11 will also make use of a unique palm rest that which gradually merges into the, delivering virtually unrivaled comfort while typing for hours on end.
Your eyes would also be more than happy to greet the TRILUMINOS Display, letting you enjoy a wide palette of rich natural colors courtesy of Sony’s BRAVIA expertise. Merge this with a full HD display and Sony’s super resolution technology, X-Reality for mobile, and you can be sure that looking at other displays on rival Ultrabooks that have a lesser configuration would certainly be a dampener, especially when your heart swells with pride in picking the right Ultrabook – at least where visuals are concerned. Both models will be available for purchase sometime later this month, although pricing details have yet to be determined.
