In Japan, the Vaio SX 12 comes out this week. The compact laptop scores points with connections. Lots of connections!

The Vaio SX is expected to cost between US$1,100 and US$2,000, depending on the integrated processor and memory. The 12.5-inch notebook fits on an A4 sheet and weighs just 900g, but still has a large keyboard. The LCD screen offers Full HD resolution. Intel's 7th-generation i5 and i7Core U processors are available.

Notable about the new Vaio: the multitude of connections. The trend is quite the opposite, and manufacturers are eliminating more and more connections - for example the Lenovo Yoga S940-14IWL, which offers just 3 USB-C ports and a headphone jack.

The new Vaio has a lot to offer.

In contrast to the new Vaio SX 12, which features:

• 3 USB A ports
• 1 USB C port for charging
• 1 HDMI port
• SD card slot
• 3.5mm jack for headphones and microphone
• Ethernet port (RJ45)
• VGA port

This is the smaller version of the SX 14 that you can buy from us. The 14" version also scores points with numerous connections. Also available from us is the 12.5-inch Vaio A12 convertible, but unfortunately only available with a German keyboard configuration.

By the way, Vaio has been an independent company since 2014, in which Sony now holds just5% of the shares. As a result, we haven't heard much about the brand in recent years. It's a shame, because I find the new Vaio range very interesting.
