VAIO
products were state of the art in a glorious decade of technology. They made
Ultra books years ago, before Intel coined the name. They made Windows handheld
PCs that really fit in the palm of your hand before the iPhone and smartphone
waves struck. The preference for Japanese technology was the mantra. Of course,
the price was not quite out the window, but these products were always
expensive. People paid because the products were "like no other", as
Sony once said in their marketing line. Sony's vision for the VAIO line
fluctuated at a time when quarterly results became more important than innovation,
and VAIOs turned into mill laptops with too much bloat ware and lower price
tags. Sony still brought some new convertible notebooks to market, such as the
VAIO Duo and the short-lived, but actually pretty good VAIO Flip, but most of
the line had lost its inspiration.
In
2014, Sony sold its VAIO PC business and its VAIO brand to Japan Industrial
Partners, a privately owned investment firm. Sony held a 5% stake in the new
company and continued to sell VAIO PCs in Japan through the Sony website. 250 to
300 Sony employees worked for the new company, including R & D, hoping
VAIO's philosophy of quality and high-end design could continue. JIP said they
would first sell VAIO laptops in Japan and consider returning to the US market.
The VAIO Z Canvas is the first US product that has been available in Japan for
several months. This is the VAIO, which clearly signals the return of the size
the brand offered in its heyday. It has everything you could want from a
powerful Windows tablet or a 2-in-1 convertible, and I mean everything. This
kind of technology is something that only the old Sony could achieve - put a
powerful 15-inch quad-core laptop into a 12.5-inch slim tablet.
Design, connectors and keyboard:
The
VAIO Z Canvas is housed in an anodized aluminum case that looks like the
MacBook Pro. It feels first-rate and is extremely stiff, although it is not
very thin. VAIO could not make it incredibly thin, but still offers a healthy
set of full-size ports: two USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, 3.5mm audio, an SD card slot,
Gigabit Ethernet, and a mini-display -Connection. This is a better choice of
ports than some 13.3-inch Ultrabooks. We are impressed that Sony has found
space for these connections in addition to the quad-core CPU and a powerful
battery.
The
rear stand is a thing of technical beauty. It's a pop-down hinge that provides
just the right amount of resistance to keep the Z-screen at any angle with
minimal jump. Just slide it into the angle you want, even a low angle to draw,
and it stays in place. This is the first time I have seen this type of hinge
and it has been done perfectly. However, it is a center stand, so he cannot
rest on his feet like Surface Pro 4 (he sits between his legs. This is not a
light tablet. Like the Toshiba Portege WT20 12.5 "Windows Tablet, the
Surface Pro 4 and the" Clipboard "weigh 1.6 kg, which is the price we
have for the quad-core CPU, the big battery, the warm construction It's best
suited for drawing and writing on a table or stand The included keyboard weighs
0.75 kg and is extreme thanks to the aluminum back that serves as the cover for
the tablet thin yet stiff The cover is in place and does not wobble and does
not dissolve like the keyboard cover of the similarly designed Sony VAIO Tap
11.
The
keyboard has short but not immovable travels that are more than the 12
"MacBook and similar to the Surface Book. The island style keyboard is
tactile and quiet. It is easy to use and I have written this review with great
accuracy on it - The keyboard has a 3-position slider: Off, On and Trackpad
Off. This trackpad is quite large and works better than many Windows trackpads
except when charging the tablet: Place the tablet on the tablet as a cover and
connect the keyboard with two charging pins to prevent the keyboard from
leaking, it has a micro USB port if you need to charge the keyboard separately
More information about a charge: Note that the keyboard of our unit is actually
empty, if you have left it in the loading position for one day, we hope that
this is a defect in our unit or a fault, ie he is eliminated.
