Sony Vaio Z Canvas
The Sony Vaio Z Canvas is built on the cutting-edge technology to cater all the needs of animators, illustrators, photographers and other artists. It looks appealing with the all rigid, anodized aluminum casing and even bezel on all four sides. The vibrant color display is a pro of this Windows 10 device. Thanks to super high 2560 x 1704 resolution and 3:2 aspect ratio, and a 95 percent coverage of the AdobeRGB color spectrum, DSLR photos are displayed absolutely clear and accurate. Similar to other portable tablets, it comes with a multi-angle kickstand, a battery-powered stylus and a detachable keyboard. The relatively heavy weight and thickness are more likely to present it as powerful, high-end laptop. Besides, the Z Canvas keeps a healthy room for full-size ports, including USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI port and an SD card slot. The base unit brings some hotkeys: a touchscreen menu for cut, copy and paste or disable the touchscreen. Overall, it stands out more as a business machine with robust horsepower. With its 47 watt, H-Series Intel Quad Core i7 processor, the 12.3-incher pulls off performance on par with 15 or 17 inch laptops.Specifications

Review: Vaio Z Canvas
Source: Unlocked Newegg
Archive.org version
Vaio set out to create the ultimate creative platform in the Canvas, and for the most part they succeeded. It’s not as powerful as a dedicated laptop, but the stylus and tablet functionality, coupled with the excellent screen and a wireless keyboard, make it a contender for one of the most unique and desirable 2-in-1s on the market.

VAIO Z Canvas Review
Source: Notebookreview.com Archive.org version
Whether or not VAIO finds success with the Z Canvas will depend greatly on their ability to find a target audience so committed to staying within the Windows environment that they’re willing to dig deep into their pockets. Without that, or without VAIO finding some way to lower prices, it’s likely the appeal of owning one of the most powerful Windows tablets on the market will be overshadowed by the desire to leave at least a little in the bank.

Review: Vaio Z Canvas
Source: Wired Magazine Archive.org version
The Canvas is a Windows tablet unlike any we’ve seen before. Wedged into this 12.3-inch, 2.6-pound chassis are a Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of solid state storage—specs in line with the highest high-end laptops. The included keyboard is detachable (it charges via two small contacts on the tablet and the keyboard), adds an extra 12.8 ounces, and doubles as a magnetically-affixed cover. The fun doesn’t stop there, though. Just check out these ports: two full-size USB 3.0 ports, a mini DisplayPort, HDMI, and a full-size (fold-out) Ethernet jack. Ethernet! On a tablet! If you can’t smell the legacy of Sony overambition all over this thing, it’s official name—the Vaio Z Canvas VJZ12AX0211S—surely seals the deal.

Vaio Z Canvas
Source: Mobile Tech Review Archive.org version
The Vaio Z Canvas is an amazing piece of technology--it's a dream PC or tablet in a world where most products make compromises due to pricing constraints or lack of engineering prowess. It's uncompromisingly fast--twice as fast as the Surface Book/ Surface Pro 4 and around the same performance as a 15" Retina MacBook Pro. Unlike most tablets, it has plenty of ports; in fact, more than many Ultrabooks offer.

Vaio Z Flip VJZ13BA11L Convertible Review | Notebookcheck
Back in style... for a price. The Vaio convertible has returned to North America with a starting price tag much higher than other Ultrabooks currently in the market. What does the Flip have under the hood to justify its nearly two-fold MSRP?

Vaio Z Flip: Great Laptop, Great design but a bit too expensive [Review]
Source: G Style Magazine Archive.org version
The Vaio Z is a super portable, clean, impeccably designed, powerful laptop/tablet hybrid. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with the Vaio Z. It’s one of the best laptops I’ve used. I personally always appreciated the Vaio brand, now even more so that they’re their own company. Bottom line however, the Vaio Z is a bit too expensive. This is my biggest problem.

Vaio Z Flip (2016) Laptop Review

Quite honestly, there's something charming about goods made in Japan. Maybe it's because I'm a huge camera fan (some of the highest-grade camera equipment continues to be assembled in Japan), but knowing that the expert craftspeople of Azumino put the Vaio Z Flip together makes it feel like a singular laptop. It's not cheap, but it's fast, elegant, and well-equipped.

If you're a graphics professional, the VAIO Z Flip delivers class-leading performance, a long-lasting battery pack, and a convertible screen mechanism that helps you interact with your art up close and personal, in a tactile manner. But at almost $2,000, it just costs too much for most general users, even well-heeled ones. At $500 less, the Lenovo Yoga holds remains our Editors' Choice for high-end convertible-hybrid laptops because it has a higher-resolution screen, the same amount of system memory and storage, comparable multimedia benchmark numbers, and only slightly less battery life (almost 11 hours).

The VAIO Z flip model gets most things right. It has a great build, stunning display, and decent battery life. Its pen is also a pleasure to use, and it pulls off the hinged display design well, which sets it apart in a market awash in detachables and Yoga clones.

The VAIO Z Flip is a strong offering in the premium convertible-notebook market. It has impeccable quality throughout. We liked its unique display-flipping mechanism, which covers the keyboard in tablet mode. This eliminates the complaint we have about conventional 360-degree folding convertibles, which leave their keyboards exposed in tablet mode.

Vaio Z
Source: Laptop Mag Archive.org version
The Vaio Z is a luxury laptop with an impressive screen, a body made of premium materials and a processor that delivers strong, snappy performance. I expect all of these things from a laptop over $1,000 (heck, I demand them), and this ultraportable delivers. But the notebook falters in actual usability. For one, the keyboard is flat and uncomfortable, which increases typing errors.

Archive.org versionThe Vaio Z is a luxury laptop with an impressive screen, a body made of premium materials and a processor that delivers strong, snappy performance. I expect all of these things from a laptop over $1,000 (heck, I demand them), and this ultraportable delivers. But the notebook falters in actual usability. For one, the keyboard is flat and uncomfortable, which increases typing errors.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
