Sony Vaio's Flip Notebook.

Sony's new convertible Vaio laptop is now in market. For very first time at PC history, Sony introducing a new and very attractive designed Flip notebook, which is mostly called hybrid combination of laptop and tablet.At this point in PC history, it's almost more surprising to see a new high-profile laptop without some sort of bendy, twist hybrid design than one with it. That's why you won't be shocked to see that Sony's new flagship midsize Vaio is more than simply another slim clamshell.  


That notebook which vaio recently released is named Sony Vaio Flip 15, with an attractive cool design with flip compatible and convertible big screen laptop. This just not only add a new design to notebook history but also a cool and exclusive design for laptops.As one might guess from the name of the Flip, the system's transformative abilities come from a screen that, well, flips.The main issue people have with that design is that the keyboard, while deactivated, ends up pointing out from the bottom of the tablet, which can be awkward and uncomfortable.   

The Flip solves that particular problem by adding a hinge to the center of the upper lid, forming a horizontal line from left to right. The lid folds back along that line, allowing the screen to tilt back. First, it flips back to form a kiosk mode, with the screen pointing out from the back of the system.Then the lid can be pushed shut to form a slate-style tablet and the keyboard is on the inside. 

Lets take look:


The Vaio Flip's price is depends on its screen size. Two available version for screens are 14 inch and 15 inch. The 15 inch Vaio Flip starts from $1199 includes with fourth-gen Intel Core i7 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 1TB 7,200rpm hard drive. There is also a discrete version which costs $799 with second-gen intel core i3 CPU, and others are same configurations with 14 inch full LED touch screen lid. 
 
The Vaio Flip 15 is a slim 15-inch midsize laptop with a silver brushed-aluminum lid and keyboard tray and black accents.The lid and keyboard tray both extend out from the sides of the base slightly, creating the optical illusion that the system is even thinner than it is. At a hair over five pounds, this isn't a carry-it-around-every-day laptop, but it's fine for occasional trips to the office or coffee shop.
The interior is eye-catching in that it's nearly monochromatic. The same brushed-metal look from the lid extends to the wrist rest and area surrounding the keyboard, which has silver keys against a silver base, and is backlit in white, creating a bright, clean overall look. 


The keyboard is similar to Sony's other island-style keyboards, a style the company has been using longer than even Apple. The key size and spacing are excellent, although there's a lot of  space on all sides, meaning that a larger keyboard or a separate number pad could easily be used.
A large touch pad works well, especially in conjunction with the touch screen. Multi Touch gestures, usually a sticking point for Windows laptops, are smooth here, especially the all-important two-finger scroll. 
While the Vaio Flip, for its slim design,  having extra software, and solid keyboard and touchpad  works well as a traditional  laptop.You may question, how does it work as a tablet? Well, the "flip" hinge is a worthwhile idea, as it maintains the integrity of the usual form, a key point for any hybrid. If you didn't already know how it works, the folding mechanism might go by unnoticed, and the fine black line bisecting the back of the lid could be misinterpreted as merely a design cool. 


With the lid open, you first have to slide a physical switch located just above the keyboard from the "lock" to the "release" position. Slide the switch over, and the lid still stays in place, held by a strong magnet. But give it a firm push from the top, and the lid folds back, flipping over 180 degrees. The center hinge is so minimalist, it hardly looks sturdy enough for aggressive flipping, but in several days of hands-on use, it gave me no problems.  
Last of all i am satisfied by reviewing of a cool product like Sony Vaio Flip. If you have a plan to buy a tablet and laptop, i will suggest you to buy this one where your need of both will be fulfilled. This notebook will make me told once again that, Sony is the True Maker. The real desinger of cool and extraordinary tech gadgets.
