VAIO has introduced the VAIO Z and the VAIO Z Canvas laptops, the first laptops to be launched under the VAIO brand following its break from Sony.
Sony sold its VAIO brand to Japan Industrial Partners, a Japanese investment fund which has kept the VAIO brand.
VAIO Z is a laptop that can be converted into a pseudo-tablet, and will be available in two variants with Intel i7 or i5 processor along with 8GB of RAM.
The laptop features a 13.3-inch display, an aluminum carbon shell body and claims to have 15.5 hours of battery life, making it one of the longest ever for the brand.
According to VAIO, the SSD is capable of booting the $1,600 ultrabook from standby in 0.3 seconds. Users will be able to turn the display outwards with the laptop closed to form a tablet.
The display can also be flipped which has been made possible due to a hinge on the back of the Z’s chassis.
The Z Canvas is a 12.3-inch device with an i7 processor and, according to The Verge, is a cheaper, smaller, and lighter version of the Canvas.
It is powered by an i7 processor, has 16GB of onboard memory and comes with 256 GB SSD.
Z Canvas cannot be turned or twisted, but it features a detachable keyboard to convert the device into a tablet.
