2022 Vaio SX14 Review

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- The 2022 redesign of the Vaio SX14 premium 14” business Ultrabook addresses the improvements we wished for in previous models. The carbon fiber chassis is rigid yet extremely light and as ever there’s a great selection of ports including 2 Thunderbolt 4, USB-A, HDMI and even Ethernet. The laptop has a Sharp brand IPS display supporting pen and touch (non-touch also available), has an enlarged trackpad, and ships with Windows 11. It’s available with Intel 11th gen Core i5 and i7 CPUs, has a fast PCIe4 SSD, presence detection and a Windows Hello IR camera plus fingerprint scanner and it’s available in some stunning colors like our white with a stainless steel look interior.

VAIO was so ahead of the time. Their flip design 8 years ago was just recently adopted by the other OEMs for their high end lineups.
Too bad its not the same company any more. Now they just make merely ok laptops and pray that people think its a real Vaio product and pay a lot of money for it. Its not the same company, not the same quality.
I fried my old flip 15, but I'm hoping I can buy some parts from framework and DIY it into resurrection.
Definitely miss the z-hinge when using my lenovo 2 in 1 and have to pick it up and flip it around to use the tablet mode.
vaios are the only laptops i kept. they were just really interesting. ive both their last japanese and last chinese made ones. slow now but just nice pieces of hardware. even the vp13 despite its flaws is quite nice
chiclet keyboards were a sony vaio thing too
@@mortalsting The company has changed, but the core engineers behind Sony's flagship laptops are still developing in the new company.
And the R&D facilities are inherited and used as they are from Sony.
Although the company has changed, VAIO's development know-how and DNA have not changed.
The model selection in the US is dumb. You can only order a few preconfigured models and can't do BTO at all. No LTE in the US market either. It's like they're not even trying.
Omg Lisa the official Vaio US marketing team just emailed me with your review video in it! That’s cool you’re being recognized.
My dad had a sony vaio,lasted him 9-10 yrs with intense use.Sad such laptops are not made anymore
I had one that lasted for 10 years. It took a non stop beating and still worked.
@@BlueGearReviews I'm still using the one my sister had I remember using it when I 6 years old now 16 and it still works great I wonder how long this new model will last but can't afford it yet
I've had my sony vaio 14E FLIP since 2013! Daily use!
writing this comment on a 2011 VAIO F series. used heavily 24/7 and never missed a beat.
True. Because it was made in Japan or México. China produces a lot but in year most product is made in China but low quality. Good environment with a good pay and works happy will always make good quality, but as we know China is not a free country at all.
My first laptop is Sony vaio, and my current laptop is Vaio.
I'm using VAIO's latest models, VAIO SX12 (2019) and VAIO Z (2021).
I am satisfied with its build quality and weight/performance ratio, and want to continue using it in the future.
To others, VAIO may be a product of memory, but to me, VAIO is the latest product that I continue to use with love.
I have the 2016 Z flip and it is pretty bad in even moderate use the battery drains while being charged. You really need to step away and let it charge. Keeps discharging.
@@cubeb3 I also used the 2016 VAIO Z. and I know the issue.
When I used it, the battery drained when gaming or benchmarking.
The cause of the problem is the AC adapter.
To keep the size of the AC adapter small, they used an AC adapter with a smaller capacity than the peak power required for the laptop.
For this reason, when peak power is used in the laptop, power is used from both the AC power and the battery power, resulting in battery drain.
This behavior is called 'hybrid power boost' , and the same issue occurs on some other laptops.
@@loa_gamer well it was really unacceptable and ruined my enjoyment of the machine. Lisa should really let us know if a machine suffers from that. Had I known that I wouldn’t have bought it.
@@cubeb3 I agree with your opinion.
For reference, the 2021 VAIO Z and VAIO SX12 I am using do not have such an issue.
Just for the sake of accuracy, Sony sold 95% of this computer line to Japan Industrial Partners (a private equity group) in February 2014. I believe they still retain the remaining 5% interest, along with the intellectual property rights for the VAIO brand and logo.
Yes I think Sony Japan still sell VAIO on their website. By the way why doesn't Lisa review Sony Xperia phones?
Great review Lisa! Thanks for reviewing this laptop; hardly anyone reviews Vaio laptops on TH-cam.
I miss the 2010s VAIO. They used to make my favorite laptops. Great review!
I still have five of them! And they work. My new VAIO has a built-in flaw that forces you to buy a new power supply and cord every year. They are not the same since Sony sold VAIO.
My Sony Vaio SVF line is sill working by this day. Used it for business, bit of gaming - played some BF3 on it back in the days. Nowadays it's a laptop for "retro" games, internet browsing or movie play.
Battery is still alive. Vaio software ranking it at "GOOD" state. Keeps laptop up for around 2-3 hours while watching movies or browsing internet.
Vaio was an amazing brand by Sony.
Always liked the look of Vaios, wanted the FW back in the day. Seems a bit expensive for what it is as ever, but especially so with M1 existing and the screen doesn't look that nice, unless you need x86 Windows. I've never seen a business using these, I guess they must be more popular in Japanese businesses?
Nope, they are not popular at all!
@@mortalsting I guess that's why it doesn't often seem the designs advance that much with R&D. Doesn't sell much so it's always a high priced niche item.
@@tipoomaster Yes I agree. But value here is way off. This not being the real Vaio anymore, its not worth it at all.
Im still running a FW46GJ still good.
According to VAIO's announcement, the Japanese business market accounts for 75% of their laptop sales share.
Would be perfect with a 16/10 or 3/2 display
This ☝️
I'm always surprised when a laptop that's geared towards the productivity user doesn't come with one of the taller aspect ratios. Not only does it (generally) give the user more usable screen real estate, but it often makes the typing experience better particularly for people with bigger hands.
i was hoping it was a 6:10 and 2 in 1, that would have been a perfect one for me, and under 3 lbs
Bezels on this are unacceptable for 2022.
These laptops are awesome. I have used the last SX14 since it came out and its perfect in its class. There is nothing like it. What I really want is more like an old Vaio Z with a GPU, while still being super light weight. Its just amazing having all those ports in an ultraportable computer, nothing like is really.
I really like that they added the Pen compatibility in this model. Because, why not?
I know everyone will disagree but I wish they kept that small touchpad in all the previous models. It was always precise and all that was needed. I never had to move my finger more then an inch. I have zero need for that extra space.
Does anyone know if these are still made in Japan?
Yes, they're still made in Japan.
yes in Nagano.
vaio always has the industrial design that really makes a strong first impression.
2009 vaio is still rolling , i think i will be upgrading to this. Time for more speed and better everything. Thx lisa great review
Not a bad price for everything you are getting, think I'll have to pick one up
My first laptop was a Sony Vaio. Also had a desktop. I wish Sony still made them. I've been a Sony fan for 40 years
I STILL have my 3rd gen i7 Sony Vaio laptop from college that I put through the wringer since 2012 sitting in my garage working faithfully. Great review!
I still have my Vaio from like 2012. Sve151290s. I use it multiple times a week.
i have no interest in this laptop. i just watch because of Lisa.
Great video, Lisa
But who would really buy it?
I did, and regret it.
Loved this brand back in the day
My 2010 Viao is still running!
I did what I had to do and bought a MacBook Air for my business when they were first split off from Sony because they seemed like they were going to remain stagnant and die off. Now with these new models having significantly improved the carbon fiber, added Thunderbolt, and a decent trackpad I’m seriously impressed. I will be switching back to Vaio for my next laptop purchase.
Check out the Framework laptop as well
@@Justgoodvids The Framework laptop is a concept that can flop and die off tomorrow. It’s not meant for business use especially not traveling and getting bumped around. Vaio has decades of good reputation, experience with light weight carbon fiber, and works closely with Intel to package enough power to get most heavy workstation tasks done on the go.
I have these newer Vaio computers and they have good support too. Actually better than the Sony days to be honest.
@@ks-bg5uk that’s good to hear
@@Justgoodvids Framework is expensive and useless. Junk.
VAIO laptops were So much advanced into the future! Crazy crazy Engineering.
That is a nicceeee looking laptop! Thanks Lisa
Vaio is a standard back in the day. Glad it's still around.
Difficult to compare with Lenovo thinkpads because Lenovo provides in addition worldwide service
Thanks for this review! Very well done. To be honest, this would have been my number 2, without a doubt. However, I just bought a 13 inch MacBook Pro M1. I guess APPLE’S reputation roped me in. Still, this would have been my next choice. I can tell that this is indeed a nice machine. Nothing to throw under the bus at all! Keep your good info coming! Peace.
My hesitation with it is the display resolution. I feel that 1920 x 1080 is low end anymore. It takes away from that premium feel, especially if the Kachi-Iro version is supposed to be premium.
You wont believe how many enterprise ITs reaching out as " why the computer screen went black when I look away or walk away"
I haven't seen anyone reviewing a Vaio laptop for ages, and for a moment I really thought Sony was back in the laptop business, but then she reminded me that Vaio is still its own thing independent from Sony.
Sony is still a bit involved in that they still own the name, and they own a small percentage of Vaio still.
VIAO. I haven't heard abt it in a very long time. I used one back in 2007
The sad thing is that you have to buy a new power cord at least every year. Shabby workmanship of the new company. The connection to the jack that connects to the laptop simply does not hold up. Wires appear and you can no longer connect to the power source. On my fourth one for a laptop I bought in 2020. Got the top of the line model, but it does me no good because I have to buy a new power cord ever year--and only the people who bought VAIO from Sony sells them. $40 with shipping. Bought my first VAIO in 1997. This will be my last due to the sleazy tactics of the new owners.
It would be nice to see a comparison vid with the Lenovo X1Carbon!
you know, it's not Sony. everybody expects something outstanding from this brand but this product is not at all
If I had to buy a PC Laptop; there’s no doubt it would be a VAIO.
Vaio is very bad
Just bought z signature and it died
They held my system for 4 months for repair
And promise me for a new system instead but at the end they broke their promise
I miss Sony Vaio
They have much better service
Looks great. Black please. Sony Vaio was my go to for high end business laptops as I work on the road and run companies. Now I'm using a ThinkPad p14 which I love (apart from the touch pad which sucks so bad worse than any laptop I've ever used). Could give Vaio another look if I need a new laptop in a couple years time
it almost has all the specs I want, i was hoping it was a 6:10 and 2 in 1, that would have been a perfect one for me, and under 3 lbs
my 10 year old vaio is still chugging along. It's seen better days but it still boots and runs basic applications.
Great Vaio review! I like the new look at how they kept many ports.
I don't like the keyboards that's not recessed from the chassis, the always leave mark on the screen after prolonged use
I agree. Hopefully they fix this in the future.
I absolutely ADORE (sony) Vaio laptops. I'm using a 15" SVS model from 2012 that I've updated and cleaned up over the years. I had a very early model in high school, around 2000-2001 and that's when I fell in love. By chance, are you planning on reviewing the new FE series they're releasing in America? I've been thinking about upgrading to an HP Omen, but I just saw this new line-up from Vaio and got really excited. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to educating people about tech.
I still have my vaio z gen 3 limited edition with the external DVD/gpu card and the external battery pack that attached to the bottom. I did have to replace the battery on it but otherwise it's been one of my favorite laptop i have ever owned. The only thing that sucked was the keyboard travel distance and the small track pad with that weird texture on it. Still have the original box and manuals too, that thing will be worth something again some day.
The "Sony" Vaio line was quite expensive in Canada years ago. I always wanted to own the Z model. This past summer I was able to come across a 2012 Z for a nice used price. It was a no brainer purchase! I'm surprised at how well this laptop performs today in 2021. Core i7, 256 SSD in RAID and 8GB ram. Thin and light, and all the ports are there. The external GPU/DVD is nice to have as well. A bit of fan noise occasionally and there are times I wish I could get higher resolution output for my Dell monitor are my only complaints, that and the original battery needs to be replaced. Does any one know where I might be able to get a replacement?
@@digitalmandave How much did you pay? Also remove the screws on the bottom and take out the battery, lookup the sony SKU number and try to find one online. If you can't get a semi reputable aftermarket part. I was able to call sony up and they sent me one directly.
@@homes24 I paid $400 CAN and it came with the DVD/AMD GPU but not the stand, manuals or restore disks :( I certainly agree with your assessment of the keyboard and click pad! You forgot to mention the speakers quality lack as well! I get around that by using an external DAC, keyboard and mouse. For the battery I get just under two hours now so am looking for a replacement and your information is quite helpful. Did you get restore disks as well?
@@digitalmandave yeah speakers suck. I got it directly from Sony, i doubt they have any left as it's been a while.... Call them up, or look on ebay. Also $400 is a steal, mine cost like $2,500 - $2,800 brand new. And if your drive has not been partitioned it may have the recovery partition still there somewhere.
@@digitalmandave I guarantee you Sony will send you a new stand and restore disks for that old Z. They are extremely loyal to their old customers. That’s what I love about them.
My 16 year old vaio is still working!
The top bezel would drive me nuts! If it was at least flush with base of the cam bezel it would be acceptable.
What a beautiful laptop!
Wish Sony would have kept the brand, they could do some amazing things in the display department these days!
Assuming the product didn't come out with a huge surprise for VAIO fans although I'd say its elevated battery life and overall tweaks voiced from the 2019-2020 models' owners seem decent in sensing an edge over peers.
I had the pro13 from 2013 and today every reviewer remembers asus for the ergo lift hinge. Vaio designs were ahead of their time
Oh my god VAIO, I remember them from the Sony days
Its a long years since i saw their laptop and its good to see them back in the market. Ports selection of Viao is for me very good.
Fun but special interest.
관창을 우찌하라고~~
Looks like Viao is finally leveraging its portfolio of sony style designs on their laptops. Apple hopes to copy the white keyboard in 2022 on their new small laptops.
Whaat ??? Vaio ?? Sony ??? 2021 ???
This Vaio looks extremely boss
My Sony Vaio launched in 2006 died after two years!
Sony may bring down Aiwa and Vaio in early 2010's but they still survive these days
Aiwa and Vaio were ahead than others.
Even today Apple MacBook color choices copied early 2000's Vaio like mine in 2005 Light Grey + Black Vaio FE series with integrated Nvidia. And so on.
Are they made in Japan ?
Yes. VAIO SX and Z Series are made in japan.
I have the gen 13th gen version of the SX14, its a terrible laptop, screen is a huge downgrade compared to the 4k 8th gen SX14 which i also have, and i just find the color on the new SX14 inadequate. 76% Adobe RGB on a laptop of this price in this day and age is unacceptable, cheap modded Thinkpads have screens infinitely better than this. Another failed SX14 generation from Vaio.
really nice design
Can this run photoshop, video editing and CAD programs?
Why didn't they make the chassis out of aluminum? It would be much more attractive. Also why don't they make the camera more megapixels?
Are kidding me? Nice machine? Well, buy one and you shall see how quickly it will break down and you will get zero tech support from Vaio service center.
I bought this model (the SX14 2022) of laptop for Christmas of 2022 and I got a purple vertical line through the middle after a month.
Is there a review for the vsj144x0111k model? I think Kachi-iro colored with 32gb of RAM is the only type available but I'm not seeing any videos on it even tho the 12inch model sold out
Hi I am a French customer of Sony Vaio that unfortunately did not resume its activities in France and froze its activities in 2022 in the UK/Switzerland/Germany, in order to purchase a Vaio SX 14 in the US and to be sure that it will work in France I need to confirm the voltage, can you confirm it is a 65 Watt charger ? thanks Nell
Back in the college days i wanted a vaio so bad but they were damn expensive
i came across the same model with broken led can anyone tell me that can i get replacement LED please provide me the link to buy that i want to purchase even without touch kindly help me
please stop this constant panning b-rolls it makes some people dizzy
SONY own 5% on the Vaio corporation and the VAIO trademarks and logo are still 100% controlled by SONY. They just didn't wanna do the day-to-day operations of building pcs but VAIOpcs are still advertised on Sony Japanese website even if manufacturered by VAIO corp
I had 3 vaios in the past they were there all in one desktops , then when everything fell apart with Sony , they became very hard to come by in the UK , i miss the brand , I miss when Sony actually produced great things .
I miss that brief moment when they made a white “Google TV” Bravia that had a really nice stand and a very calming look against a white bedroom wall. I wish I had the money to buy one of those but they never reappeared. Sony left that behind and continued with their own super sharp and all black Bravia designs.
will you review recent foldable phones
I NEED HELP 🆘 I don't know what laptop to get with my Huion 16 pro tablet, it has to be compatible, low price ,medium to small ,college reliable, also 9gb of ram.
I don't like Sony vaio just its good for Play station PS
Nostalgia brought me here . ❤️
I *really* want to see Vaio make a laptop with dedicated discrete graphics. Something like an Nvidia Quattro or even an RTX in it would be fantastic!
I don’t because that takes away from the point of a ultrabook and makes it hard to take for a quick business meeting. It has thunderbolt you can hook up a external GPU at your desk and use that for 3D rendering and connecting more screens.
Yes, true, it still needs some discrete graphics like mx350 for example, it still can be the ultrabook
A model with the desired specification was recently released.
It's VAIO FH14 Ultra, released in October 2021.
It has Core i7-11390H, Geforce RTX 3050ti, about 1.43kg, about $1,200
However, it is only available in China.
@@loa_gamer oh nice, I wonder what really VAIO nowadays. They still make new decent laptops but not well known now, people almost forget about their existence and are they now a Chinese company?
@@loa_gamer this specs with "RTX 3050" should be named "gaming" : )))
it looks like it’s from 2011. idk man
😍😍😍😍😍
Your sound has improved now. Earlier it was quite feeble.
windows 11 is total crap/ Maybe for tablets, I hate desktop UI.
Sony vaio it is my best laptop!!!
How to connect the pen to the laptop? Thx!
Oh wow, typing this on my 2012 vaio z13 that still use daily
Foreheads too big
I like VAIO 👍👍
Still rocking my 2012 Vaio S15 with 10-key, cd slot, and Intel i5
W520
sadly the 2022 model doesn't come in the kachi color, just the all black edition.
Now they do have
I don't want to burst VIAO's bubble but I got myself HP Envy 360 powered by AMD Ryzen 7 with 64 GB RAM 2 TB SSD hard drive. It has an amazing touchscreen display and it converts to a tablet as well. It is SUPER FAST and I only paid $1699 for it. It has a super premium looks too with all aluminum chassis.
Weighs 5lbs?
Did they fix the audio issues with this version? It seemed that the audio was low on the previous version. I am on the fence on this one. Need a reliable laptop but it seems all laptops including premium ones have quality issues.
If you want a quality japanese laptop for work, buy a Dynabook X40L-M, it is a monster, super fast,light and 4 speakers Dolby Atoms, I have VAIO SX14 KachiIro the latest flagship, but my major daily work machine is Dynabook X40L-K. They give you 4yrs warranty worldwide, by far, I am so satisfied with that machine except it is not as sexy as SX14. (The major reason why I recently bought a VAIO). Dynabook=old Toshiba, now changed their ownership to SHARP.
Keyboard color should be silver that would be Sexy
Best windows laptop 13-14 inch for students aged 15?
Definitely not this.
I appreciate the slower speaking delivery in this video, it's much easier to follow.
Why is still Intel 11gen at this stage where is the 12gen is just like cheating
I've been watching you since about 2007
Only if the bezels were thinner, 16:10, and the battery was bigger it would have been perfect.
Wow it’s really nice! A bit pricey though.
