Sony Brings Pricey Vaio Flip Hybrid To India

CES 2014 just got over and the first multi-gadget company to bring their amazing marvel from show grounds at Las Vegas to New Delhi, India is Sony. They showcased their award winning Vaio Flip laptop cum tablet today and we have just one word for it, ‘Gorgeous’. However this beautiful machine does carry a hefty price tag, which only the Richie Rich’s of the world would be able to afford.

Sony Introduced 4 models today. For which the Japanese maker is asking for Rs 99,990 for the 13-inch variant, Rs 94,990 for 14-inch version and Rs 1,19,990 for the 15-inch one. Looking past the boggling price point, the machine is quite extraordinary. We gave the 13-inch version a go and we immediately fell in love with the smooth and bright touchscreen. Sony insists no matter what you do the screen will not get scratched. The keyboard is fairly large and the machine is quite comfortable in the lap.

At a press of a button one can rotate the screen and turn the device into a tablet. For a 13-inch tablet it is a bit big to hold in one hand, but fairly fine in two. It runs the Windows 8 OS where one could see many Indian applications as well. The 13 and the 14-inch Vaio Flips have Intel Core i5 processors in them, while the 15-inch version has Intel Core i7 processor. All of them support full HD displays and backlit keyboards.

They are available in two colours, black and the silver. For storage the 13-inch model has 128 GB SSD drive in it and the other two have 1 TB hybrid drives. They will be available in stored from 29 Jan, 2014.
