one year after Sony sold off its computer brand the vaio is back and here it is a 12 point 3 inch tablet designed to compete with Microsoft Surface pro and the iPad pro from Apple i'm sean hollister with cnet now i'm going to show you what it looks like right instead of trying to bring a value centric computer to market what you have here is a tablet designed for content creators one that tries to cram the full power of a computer like the macbook pro into a tablet with a detachable keyboard stylus and infinitely adjustable kickstand inside the durable aluminum and impact resistant glass frame lives of 47 wat core i7 Haswell processor up to 16 gigabytes of memory and a terabyte of solid-state storage and 3 fans to cool it all down the three fans actually are designed to cancel out the noise from one another so that the fans don't bother you while you work since the keyboard doesn't actually physically attached the tablet except with a couple of magnets you can place the tablet on one side of a desk and the keyboard on the other using the stylists say in your right hand to draw on something and the keyboard on the left to navigate the stylist has 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity and vaio also claims they've reduced the parallax gap so that when you press down on the screen the line you draw is far closer to where the tip of your pen actually lands BIOS also paid special attention to the hinge inside this kickstand not only does the spring-loaded mechanism resist your stylist as you push down but you can also lift it up with a single finger thanks to the differing amount of tension not only is this screen a high resolution 2560 by 1704 display wide viewing angles thanks to the IPS technology it's also got a ninety-five percent Adobe RGB color gamut the screen also has a 32 aspect ratio like Microsoft Surface line of computers which vaio says is better for content creators and photographers speaking of those folks I think they're really going to enjoy the array of ports on the left side of this machine in addition to your standard pair of USB 3.0 fourths there's a full-size SD card slot so you can transfer photos right off your camera and a pair of mini displayport and HDMI ports that allow you to connect a pair of 4k displays simultaneously via also says the machine can do color matching between the internal display of the tablet and the external monitors the vaio z canvas will start at 2199 you can look for a review right here on cnet i'm sean hollister you've been looking at the vaio z campus
