Great review! I'm surprised at the amount of ports in this laptop! I was also surprised by the quality of the webcam; it's better then any other that I've seen in any TH-cam laptop review videos.
Great strides in the channel. So happy to see you getting review units of quality brands. Even more growth is definitely on the way! Quality reviews and video quality.
Hey, really nice review. I like your format, execution and really enjoyed watching. I got all the information i needed for this laptop. thank you for your work!
THink how good laptops would look if they decided to scrap the webcam! I can't be the only person who thinks if I want one I will buy a better seperate one.
Hey Andrew! I've been meaning to ask you where, or how you resell all of the items you have tested that you purchased yourself but don't keep? Just curious if it would be worth looking into for me, since I don't have the money to spend on totally brand new, but am leery about buying refurbished, used items from strangers. Not a live or die question. Just wondering. Thanks for the many ❤'s you have given my comments in the past too. You make an old woman smile!
Hi, Lately most of the review units are on loan from the brands themselves. I have been buying very little as of late mostly because I usually take a loss on them. But when I do I usually sell on ebay or swappa or locally. I do have a bunch of items that I have been meaning to sell but just have not had the time to do so. Stay tuned I will let you know when I do sell some of the items. Best, Andrew
No windows hello? No touch screen? Love my old sony from decades. I am looking for a ne laptop, as I have a lot of office, customer service, presentation courses. What would be a good laptop, maybe even a 2 in 1 with touch screen, detachable keyboard to buy. Maybe one with 16 GB, 1T core i5, or i7 with thunderbolt. Any suggestions under $1000
To be an ultra-portable with full road warrior versality it needs to be USB C chargeable. Not having that is a purchase killer for me. Such a shame as this would otherwise have been an immediate buy. But without that - it's a no sale
How is the lid operated? Do I need to hold the bottom half in order to open the lid? Does it feel solid and well built (no noises when opening/closing the lid)?
Great review. This shows everyone that port of all kinds should be on the macbook pros and other thin and light machine. But then who would buy ethernet, usba, vga, hdmi, dongles. We have all bee n played by the big companies putting profits ahead of customer needs, looking for new revenue flowa by taking away what was included than sell you a dongle to replace what they took away. They created both the problem and the solution for profit.
Sony? Why Sony?? You mean Vaio... There is no, Sony in the Laptop Business anymore. Do you Homework. And the Design of Vaio was always much better than SHITTY MacBooks....
I would consider that display as a con. There are many laptops with much brighter diplsay, like over 400 nits. Also it's not very color accurate given its 1,100$ starting price.
I agree the numbers don't really impress all that much but the funny thing is by just looking at it you would have thought the numbers would be higher. I was surprised by the result. Bottom line, the display looks very good.
I used to demo the sound but to be honest very hard to give you a true representation on video because everyone's listening experience is different whether it be headphones, speakers etc. and of course the device they are listening on. So rather I just explain my take on the speakers. Thanks.
con: barrel charger, VGA? VGA?!!!!! Who in this world uses VGA on a Ultraportable?! HDMI 2.0, most likely not with the UHD620. Looks like a nice keyboard, trackpad has what drivers? Overall a meh machine, they could have made it so much lighter without that terrible VGA and put in USB-c or Thunderbolt 3 or even 4. We do not need networking or hdmi any more these days, there are plenty of dongles that work much better with USB-c. This is typical VIAO, very conservative, sorry not for me.
Great video as always Andrew! This looks like a great laptop. Too bad it's internals are soldered on there, that's a shame. If you ever get a chance, try to review the ASUS Q326, it's a heavily Underrated laptop with a lot of performance and it's always overlooked.

🙂 I would not mind replacing my old Sony VAIO with the new VAIO SX12.

Thanks! Wait till you see what I have coming up. Stay tuned...
Apple should learn from Vaio as this laptop has every port even Ethernet.
nope they are to much leaders in computers to copy this thing
All I need at home once I replace some usb A keys is USB-C, but for business all those legacy ports are great! And I like the pink!
Hey, really nice review.

thank you for your work!
Love Vaio. My Vaio Pro 13 still works well.
Nice. My old Vaio had a fantastic screen but the keyboard was truly awful. This one looks OK.
I had the last Sony Vaio Pro in 2013 i absolutely loved it this looks very similat
Thanks for another great video and thanks for not doing a video on the Samsung Note 10 (yawn). This is great info and shared to twitter immediately!
You said optional LTE but I can not find that on VAIO's site. Am I missing something?
This review is really amazing. Very good review indeed
Please make a video on Lenovo IdeaPad S540

If it had a 14" display I would be all in!!!
VAIO has the SX14, basically same device with 14-in display. Very good device.

Is this laptop good at architecture rendering works? Thank you for the answer
Let's see this sporting a. Rysen 4800u in 2020 with upgradable ram
Great review.

wow design...as expected frm vaio
Does it also charge over the usb-c port?
Does your discount codes works in euros in spain?
Best review.
oh no, Sony broke the rule of the tech industry that all Macbook design features, good and bad, must be copied into next year's laptops.
Sony? Why Sony?? You mean Vaio... There is no, Sony in the Laptop Business anymore. Do you Homework. And the Design of Vaio was always much better than SHITTY MacBooks....
25% wow a 4% increase
Can you pla review the Dell inspiron 15 7590 with 97Whr battery??
Great review, but this vaio is overpriced for it's spec, sony as usual.
Too small, but good review!
Please review Aftershock Lunar 14
Esta marca é ótima ( amazing )!
Can u connect a wireless mouse to it ?
Yes

Insane? More like "Proper"
Apple has kept the bar too low.
Somebody knows where can i give/sell/trade my old sony vaio with a new one ? ?
Please demo the sound

Why have a VGA port in 2019?
Many places still have old projectors which connect through that VGA port. So it helps during presentations in schools or businesses.
@@Rafayel06 Raf's right. As much as I hate VGA, it's mostly for old projectors that tons of businesses are still using.
I use VGA at school 🏫
For projector & presentation
Is there an i7 version?
Yes
VGA port very important in 2019, where floppy disc?
Those are the essentials
no chance compared to Dell 2019
