People here are being salty about its VGA and Ethernet existency while probably they're also hating Apple for removing 3.5mm jack lol Of course, i like to see more Thunderbolt port here. By the way i like that screen bezel design, it looks kinda industrial. Unfortunately, that black plastic side and the bottom body make it look like a cheap laptop. Actually it's great to see VGA here, here in my places VGA-powered projector are still being majority, just like the VCD existence.
How do you not have a HDMI projector? In a device that costs so much to maintain anyway, why? My studio has even E-wasted multiple HDMI projectors after their globes blown. The projector argument had a little weight a decade ago, but now it's just really old tech. Ethernet is a completely different discussion. Ethernet has a reason for being.
You know, i'm also wondering why, as a student of one of the most famous IT college in my country even still has all VGA-powered XGA projector in all of their rooms and buildings, and only some of them includes HDMI dongle. Yes, i've never seen an HD or Full-HD projector in my life.
Once you use a VAIO you never go back! The quality control and performance are unrivalled. These other "premium" ultra books will be DEAD in 17 months. This will last you a decade 👌🏾
Sony and the Vaio brand has always been quality items. I love my Sony Vaio. I'm hoping this new iteration of Vaio builds a larger laptop. The quality and design still stands out to me.
This was by far the best looking vaio, however it had a bad reputation of wireless issues, and that's why it eventually sold for dirt cheap. The vaio pro 13 was technically the vaio z, the main difference was that the latter was made in Japan, while the former was made in China.
VGA is still widely use in other countries its blessing that its still here, I had a few times going on a venue and was surprise that the only projector they had was still using VGA.
@@karimessafi7439 Old specs? Apart from the thunderbolt missing and no usb type c charging, it's not dated in any way. I'd say its the perfect laptop, and you know itll last forever. Also who buys this kind of laptop to play games on?
"That's where those other PCIE lanes go" No, it's not. The VGA and HDMI come directly from the integrated GPU, the USB is, well, USB, and the memory card reader is likely internally USB as well. The ethernet is likely PCIE based but it's 4 lanes at most. They COULD have included TB, they just chose not to.
After using vaio for six year in it and networking work and gaming and media i can say it is one of the best brands out there .. i hope they keep produce thier laptops
I love companies that give you usb charging, plus usbc charging because you save a port and if one ever goes bad, it still has another, and its faster.
I'm watching this on my Vaio Z2 from 2011. I bought a Vaio ZF last year expecting my Z2 would quit working anytime soon after so many years but no, it's still going really strong. Build quality of Vaio laptops is on whole another level.
VGA... I'd rather have DisplayPort, but the ethernet port is a really nice inclusion. Also, the way this guy talked about the screws on the bottom... I wonder if he has ever held a screwdriver in his hand.
VAIO is an independent computer brand company it was originally from Sony brand spin off from 2014 to focus on PlayStation Consoles, Sony Bravia and other their remaining divisions. but still available on sony.jp website and distributed by Sony Marketing Division in Japan and still available on Sony Stores in Japan. This is the Best Laptop of all time since has Made in Japan because of it's quality and durability and great features and specifications. I want Sony VAIO laptop when I was a 11 years old.
Is it better than Thinkpad X1 Carbon? I can't think of a pressing reason to choose this over an X1. Keyboard is probably better on the Thinkpad, the display isn't probably the swaying factor. I guess the Vaio has more ports, but would you REALLLLLLY need that VGA even for professionals? The 4K display isn't even necessary and X1's 2K screen is probably more than enough; both also have 500-nit display options.
I owned the Vaio Z2 and it was great. Had 3 of them. USB port broken,power Jack broken,ram died, etc.. ALL the parts were easy to fix, I literally took apart entire laptop will little issues. Miss being able to open laptops and actually fix them yourself.
If I use that usb a to c cable and connect barrel port and usb c at the same time will it charge the laptop faster? Considering the fact that the power is coming off the same adapter.
Damn VGA and Ethernet? I WANT ONE! Just kidding, the battery size is a bit of a letdown for me. I also prefer ultrabooks nowadays with at least MX150 GPU since I do a bit of photoshop and light video editing. I still love my HP Envy 13 (8550u + MX150 version) 😍
My 1st laptop was a VAIO.....was very happy and satisfied with it....used it for 5 years then its motherboard crashed.....this brings back memories....I was very upset when I came to know Sony will not be producing VAIO....now i gonna cry all night....I love my gadgets.
Well a proper power brick charges faster than any USB-C charger I've ever seen.. so the option to charge via that port is there in a pinch but not as a primary charge port.
The specs of this laptop speaks to the culture of perfection in the Japanese culture, well done Vaio for being brave and thinking out of the box. Badly want one now.
Very close to the VAIO Pro 13 I still use. Such a shame they didn't continue sooner and make a redesign to stay competitive. One of the first Ultrabooks plagued with quality control issues and software issues (they disabled my touchscreen in the final update they released for it)
my pro 13 touchscreen still works with no issues. as for close the pro13, well this uses the same keyboard and keys, even the vaio control software seems like an update of the vaio control center on my sony pro 13. pretty sure this model and the previous vaio models were just from sony's products adapted.
2019 and my 2013 Sony Vaio E is still alive and i think it just misses two things... A Latest CPU and latest Graphics(It has 35Watts 3rd Gen intel i5) .. all the ports Everything else still going strong..
I like what they've done. Other laptop manufacturers take note, good form factor without sacrificing functionality or I/O. Only thing I'd complain about is the low travel keyboard. Smaller trackpad is good too, less palm issues in Linux.
@Setzer K surface book is too hard to open up for repairs or upgrade. Also, neither has even close to the variety of ports. Both Ethernet and VGA are a must.
FINALLY A LAPTOP THAT'S ACTUALLY A COMPUTER! Thank Sony, for a laptop that is both usable, and is a computer. Thanks.In a land of no-IO whatsoever, that is heaven! Finally a computer, in a land of tablets, or laptops that aren't pcs, because they don't have io.
Well, at least for me, it's not a good PC, if it doesn't have at least traditional ports. Like on pcs with only USB-C, I find them to be bad, even if they have a op spec sheet. I have said that towards the Macbooks, which are bad for me, even if they have an i7. When I saw that laptop, this VAIO, I was amaze of a laptop with actual traditional IO in 2019, and I think that this pc is one of the most versatiles laptops (while being relatively economic and sturdy) of 2019
Wow! This must be one of the few channels not bashing japanese companies for being japanese and doing things differently!

In red is superb...very good review...thanks!
Wish I had $1000 to buy one on principal alone. Bring back ports.
beforward has good prices on used vaios- ex corporate- they are based in japan but ship to anywhere in the world
I still use my Vaio flip 14a. Just put an SSD in it as well as upgraded the memory. Perfect for photography now!

Yeah laptop reviewers just say whatever they feel like tbh
Why people and apple hate vga port? Its durable, easy to use, and supported by many display and projector
I thought VAIO was dead..
The brand live-on under its own brand, VAIO ~
We all thought the same bro
Not in japanse
I heard Vaio has been doing well in Japan so far now since they left Sony in 2014 because a lot of Japanese companies buy Vaio`s products.
VGA Port?! Yes! This is coming with me in my DeLorean!
You never used a Vaio?!? Get the f out of here ....
After using vaio for six year in it and networking work and gaming and media i can say it is one of the best brands out there .. i hope they keep produce thier laptops

Me too
Me too

The display colour wow
4k is overkill at a 14" dispay. Why can't we get 1440 laptop displays? It really would be the perfect resolution.
No. It's not. 300dpi is not overkill. Atleast you can run 4k display at 1440p to save battery.

It's definitely the anti-MacBook with the presence of ports. I just purchased this laptop today and can't wait to unbox it.

iam really missed VAIO😣
the chiclet style keyboards were popularized by the early vaios
No wait for next gen usb 4.0 has equivalent 40 Gbps rates so external GPU support is easy

@ABC ABC I bought some broken ones and fixed them easily. One had broken usb port, bought a part one off ebay. Power jack same thing.
I hate this boxy ui that windows has on laptops

Considering the fact that the power is coming off the same adapter.
I think the board will switch to charging from the barrel connector.
Can you make a review on Samsung notebook 9 pen 2019.. I'm waiting for it for a long time..
Japanese people probably have small hands which may justify the key and trackpad size.
Damn VGA and Ethernet? I WANT ONE! Just kidding, the battery size is a bit of a letdown for me. I also prefer ultrabooks nowadays with at least MX150 GPU since I do a bit of photoshop and light video editing. I still love my HP Envy 13 (8550u + MX150 version) 😍
My mom had one from early 2000s. It was pink
what? VGA port? what year is this? 1999?
Made in Japan = high quality.
legacy port is good, I don't understand why people complaining about it
on the bottom of the labtop underside on the top edge there is a black cap to the right of the left hinge, what is under there?
If you open it and look at the internals, you see how crappy it really is. Poor use of space, poor design.
I have 13inch pro version, that's crazy noise of fan causes me headache
It's interesting that no reviewer has mentioned that Dell was the first to use the screen lift design, with the Adamo XPS
ah remind my old laptop back in college
No TB3 is a dealbreaker
Vaio is the Nokia of laptops. It has everything you need.
My 1st laptop was a VAIO.....was very happy and satisfied with it....used it for 5 years then its motherboard crashed.....this brings back memories....I was very upset when I came to know Sony will not be producing VAIO....now i gonna cry all night....I love my gadgets.
huge difference between made in china OR made in japan..
Wow vga very nice to see
the laptop is not exciting to me.
Love the SD Card port!
Well... explained
I rather have 2 more USB c than a VGA port
He said it's for charging and data.
Well a proper power brick charges faster than any USB-C charger I've ever seen.. so the option to charge via that port is there in a pinch but not as a primary charge port.
"I've ever seen". Guess I was wrong then.
I'd rather anything else. Anything short of a printer port.
It's cool, VAIO SX14 port can rival GPD MicroPC, RS-232, RJ45, Type C, USB 3.0, HDMI......
The specs of this laptop speaks to the culture of perfection in the Japanese culture, well done Vaio for being brave and thinking out of the box. Badly want one now.
Without Sony vaio is nothing.
What's the wallpaper on the desktop?
It costs almost 2000 usd for 8GB/256GB Core i5 Whisky Lake version in Japan(sic!). Hell no!
الابداع في الأفكار والابتكار احتاج هذا الكمبيوتر فقط اولا
Put the internals behind the screen, a touchscreen, removable keyboard and a pen then you have a killer product
Haven't seen any Vaio for some time
