Vaio fans in the UAE rejoice! The Japanese laptop from Vaio Corporation is back in the Gulf but without the Sony logo.
Sony sold its PC business to investment firm Japan Industrial Partners in February 2014 as part of a restructuring effort to focus on smartphones.
Sony still has a 5% stake and holds the intellectual property rights for the Vaio brand and logo.
Vaio laptops are currently sold in 22 countries, including the US, Japan, Brazil and some Asian and European countries and the brand is expanding into newer markets.
VAIO is fondly remembered as a cutting edge computing brand by many, and its new SX12 continues in the path of its predecessors.
A utilitarian design combines with a super light frame that sees an overall weight of just over 900g (2lbs) for the heavier unit. The 2020 version adds 10th generation Intel CPUs (including a six-core model), and shrinks its footprint to 287 x 203mm, meaning that although it's not small, it is certainly still portable.
When it comes to connectors, Sony didn’t hold back. The SX12 boasts a Gigabit Ethernet connector, four USB ports, an HDMI connector, an audio connector, a card reader and, most surprisingly, a VGA connector.
