Vaio Z Flip - Is it worth $2399?

2017-02-01
this is the VAIO said flip a sleek portable laptop with a trick up its sleeve the laptop is available in three different versions the cheapest one starts at 1799 US Dollars and gives you a dual core i5 CPU paired with eight gigs of RAM and a blazing fast 256 gig PCIe SSD $200 more upgrades to CPU to an i7 instead of the i5 another $400 on top of that gives you double the RAM and SSD storage so yeah there's definitely no doubt about it it is one expensive laptop another thing that there's no doubt about it it's a look it's beautiful except that's huge forhead God there's always something anyway is it worth it well let's find out the version I am taking a look at here is the highest end one it costs a whopping two thousand four hundred dollars in terms of connectivity it has two super speed USB times 1/4 HDMI port headphone jack and a card reader the build quality isn't all that great it does have a few metal panels but that is not the same thing as having a full metal design that's why the keyboard and screen flexes a bit but it's also why it's the light so in this regard it all comes down to your own preferences in terms of battery life value is advertising eleven and a half hours which will never actually happen in real life I'd say about seven hours of browsing the web and videos but not more than that the keyboard is great and getting used to it is a Tron it's got dark with keys surprisingly yellowy tinted one but it's there it's also got a few quick tools like adjusting the screen brightness and volume but weirdly enough there is no media controls why this lift mechanism is quite genius to be honest if you just flick a switch and flip the screen around it does look pretty badass the pen that you get with the laptop is quite good there's nowhere to put it but when actually using it it works great and if you're drawing for example this software does a great palm rejection job the screen itself is a quad HD IPS touch display it's viewing angles are good its sharp clean punchy and just beautiful overall I think I don't like however are those huge vessels it looks straight out of 2007 well no actually the vessels are smaller in 2007 the vios head flips is a very portable laptop indeed I mean you can take it anywhere it's light its small its quiet it's the perfect on-the-go workhorse given that you don't do any hardware taxing work it's still a dual core machine so video editing no 3d modeling no music production no graphics design may be signing tax forms yeah that probably works so with the jokes out of the way no it's not that bad if you're just the average Joe doing document work media consumption emailing web browsing this laptop is quick AF and that's thanks to its pcie-based SSD storage working at over 2,000 megabytes per second on the read side and 1300 on the right side I mentioned before that this laptop is fantastic for media consumption but that was maybe a little bit of a bold statement I mean the screen is fantastic but the speaker's are not you probably have to wear headphones so let's try to conclude this laptop is it worth it and if so who is it for if you want a sleek looking 2 in 1 laptop and you don't happen to partake in any hardware taxing work it's worth it but that's not to say that it doesn't have any competition because it certainly does the Dell XPS 13 2 in one for example so just make sure to do your research in terms of price and features you want to make the perfect purchase for you so there you have that that's my verdict let me know what you guys think about the BIOS head flip and the comments down below and I'll catch you guys in the next video peace
