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.

Sony Smartwatch Review

World famous brand Sony has launched its new wearable gear named "Sony Smartwatch." Gear with gadget is not a new concept now a days but sony make the best difference ever. They made designed custom smartwatch which is compatible with most recent android devices. If any smartphone runs with Ice Cream sandwich 4.0 or higher the smartwatch will be compatible with it.There is an NFC supported chip inside the watch. So any device with NFC compatibility can make a communication channel with the watch and it also used a tracker, synced with the tracking database at smartphone. 
 
As we know that, the NFC compatibility is built inside the smart phones and it does not need to any apps for making file transfer or track, but the smartwatch have some requirement to run with NFC. For using this, first you have to download an apps from play store to both watch and phone so that, both devices database will synchronise at the same time.This smartwatch have the storage capability of 16 GB~32 GB. 
 
Though this smartwatch doesn't have the any speaker to call or listen songs, but there is some versatile features that no gear will ever deliver you. It shows your sms notification, mail notification, tweets or buzzes via a unique icon which is very interesting. You may question how did this happen? Does the smartwatch have any web browser or something? 
 
No, simply it fetches data and notifications popups from your phone. When someone tweets to you, a blue bird will show up in your display and moving its lips. When a mail comes, a icon of letter will blow up, which means you have an incoming mail. Lets see some photos of this smartwatch:

 It will pop up when message arrives, when someone gives you mail or a call just missed by you if. Like this usual tech features, it also have some cool points. If you make your morning jogging by wearing this watch into your hand, it will tell you how much calories you just burnt, how long you will run, even with the distances. It says the "Fitness Tracker" feature of this smart gadget. Including this, you can change your songs, rise up/down its volume and in some way you can tune the music qualities too. Totally wifi supported with bluetooth technology, this device will let you take the taste of a new level gadget experience. 
 
This watch's screen is the round edged square shape. Its not so sharp, screen has 220 x 176 resolution spread out over 1.6 inches, which comes out to 176 pixels per inch. The screen is a transflective LCD, so when lighting is good, its display uses contrast from the reflected light, rather than its own backlight. When the lights go down, though, you can easily view the screen by pressing that side button with backlight.
 
Water resistibility is a principal fact for any watches or you may say wrist gadgets. Like other watches, Sony make this cool stuff water resistant too. It ha IP57 water and dust resistance rating, which means, it can stay under one meter of water for 30 minutes.As we know that, Sony make Xperia devices water resistent, so this watch will be the one of those properties, actually its not a point of headache.

About battery life, Sony claims that, it will run with full functionality for 36-72 hour after charging once for full time. After testing, it proves that, Sony's claim is rock solid. You can run it 3 days with any charging problem smoothly. Just don't forget to give it charge after purchasing from the shop. It have a USB charging system, that means you can charge it either from your desktop at home or from laptop while roaming. 
 
The overall package sounds solid enough on paper, but we weren't particularly usual with the experience of using Sony's new watch. If you own an Android phone and are looking for an easy and convenient way to get notifications, then this smartwatch is one of several solid options. Just know that you aren't getting much more than that. You also might want to be prepared to invest in a smarter-looking band than the included rubber one, and prepare your eyes for a very cool looking display. I suggest personally to wear this smart watch instead of any stylish rubber band  which make you look as an style icon.
 
This cool watch is now available at Europe with 150 Euro with metallic wristband version. Sony haven't announced its release date at US market yet. Its only available at Europe.
