hi I'm rich Brown frisina today we're gonna take an in-depth look at sony vaio tap 20 all in one so this is Sony's brand-new 20 inch on one desktop designed pretty specifically for Windows 8 so this is a touchscreen PC and it's a little bit smaller than some other own ones you might have seen recently but what's unique about this system is that it has a battery built into it that means you can take out the power cable it still works and you can even drop it down and carry the system around from room to room in your house so what that means is this system is kind of the home lifestyle PC that we've all sort of wanted but nobody's really nailed yet it's small enough that you can put it on any countertop in the kitchen put it in a den pretty much wherever you want to but because it's portable you don't have to put it anywhere permanently so it's great if you want to say put up a recipe if you want to just browse the news at the kitchen table if you want to watch a movie somewhere so the specs of this computer just fast enough it comes with a low-power core i5 CPU four gigs of RAM a 750 gigabyte hard drive and an integrated intel graphics there's no optical drive and the 20 inch screen only has a 16 by 900 resolution screen so it's not a true HD screen and in fact it doesn't even have an HDMI input which would really make this system useful to plug in a game console or some other external video source for its other ports it's not bad it has a couple USB 3 ports and the SD card slot as well as a couple analog audio jacks so some Ethernet cable over here and of course it does have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth it even has NFC although we found that was kind of a mixed bag it wouldn't work with devices from Sony or other vendors so that's really more of a gimmicky feature than anything else but if you can live with web-based or local content the system is really pretty versatile little PC know it's tempting to look at this as a 20 inch tablet and for sure that idea seems kind of crazy you certainly wouldn't want to take this on the subway or on a plane you could try it but it probably kind of awkward but at just under 12 pounds the system is light enough that any adult can move it around from room to room up and down stairs without too much trouble that makes it a really pretty versatile home PC so I'm rich Brown this has been a spotlight on Sony Vaio tap 2001 you
