Introducing the "VAIO SX14", which is standard yet has high performance!

Bio announced on the 17th that it will release "VAIO SX14" for individuals and "VAIO Pro PK" for corporations as new mobile notebook computers (PCs) on January 25, 2019 (Friday). Orders will start from Thursday, January 17th, and the price of the VAIO SX14 will start at 139,800 yen (excluding tax) at the "Sony Store". In the standard model "VAIO S" series, the company emphasizes mobility of the 11.6-inch "VAIO S11" and its corporate "VAIO Pro PF", and its ease of use-oriented 13.3 inch "VAIO S13" and its corporate use. "VAIO Pro PG" was released in September 2017. These models are based on the concept of "a PC that is extremely" comfortable "for mobile work," not only in size and lightness, but also in performance, ease of use, stamina, robustness, and ease of handling including connection with conventional devices. It was a simple but VAIO-like notebook PC. The VAIO SX14 announced this time has achieved a larger screen of 14.0 inches, which is equivalent to the footprint of this VAIO S13, and in pursuit of lightness, it is about 999 g, which is less than 1 kg while being 14.0 inches, which is about the 13.3 inch model. It has succeeded in reducing the weight from 1.06g. The size is the same as the conventional model, the screen is large, and the light weight and the "pleasure" of mobile work are further enhanced. This time, I was able to try the VAIO SX14 as soon as possible, so I will introduce the appearance and features with photos and videos. Comparison of VAIO S13 (photo = left) and VAIO SX14 (photo = right) It is clear from the notebook PCs of other companies that the VAIO SX14 can be made larger with a narrow frame design. However, since the VAIO S series has the same base as the corporate model, the first issue is how to implement the two conflicting elements of robustness and weight reduction. The narrower frame makes the frame thinner, which makes it difficult to achieve rigidity, but by changing the material and structure of the top plate, we have achieved rigidity and weight reduction that is equal to or higher than that of the conventional model. The conventional model had a structure in which a resin panel, liquid crystal, and frame were fitted to a magnesium alloy top plate, but the VAIO SX14 covers up to the side with a resin panel, fits the liquid crystal and frame there, and uses UD carbon for the top plate. "Carbon wall top plate" is adopted. The ultra-high elasticity UD carbon, which was jointly developed with Toray, is a newly designed one with less deflection under the same load. The material of the VAIO logo inside the outer frame of the photo is UD carbon. Moreover, it is not only the robustness that has been affected by the narrowing of the frame. The VAIO S series has not only wireless LAN but also LTE compatible models, but the antenna has been mounted on the "primary place" Dispui. Attaching the antenna to the top of the display not only improves sensitivity, but also keeps it away from the main board, which is a source of noise. By narrowing the frame, the space on the left and right is eliminated, making it difficult to handle the antenna cable, and the area of ​​the antenna to be mounted becomes smaller, which lowers the communication sensitivity. Therefore, in VAIO SX14, the solution is to pass the small diameter antenna cable through the back of the LCD panel. Furthermore, the area is secured by making the antenna parts three-dimensional. The front is VAIO SX14, and there is no antenna wiring on the outer frame. The area is secured by making the antenna parts three-dimensional, with the VAIO S13 in the back and the antenna wiring visible on the outer frame. The back is the VAIO S13 antenna parts. The LTE-equipped model supports FDD-LTE Band 1 and 3, 8, 21, 26, 28, and TD-LTE Band 41, and the maximum downlink speed by carrier aggregation (CA). It enables communication at 450 Mbps (theoretical value). Interfaces are equipped with HDMI and USB 3.0 x 3 in addition to those designed for corporate use such as VGA terminal and wired LAN. By installing a new USB 3.1 Type-C terminal this time, it is also possible to easily connect peripheral devices with DisplayPort 1.2 output and docking station. Furthermore, it also supports the quick charging standard "Power Delivery (PD)", and also supports charging with USB Type-C connection. The VAIO SX14 is charged with the included AC adapter, but it has become more convenient because it can be charged quickly for about 3.5 hours (output 24W) using a USB PD compatible battery or charger. This charging function also supports 5V assist charging such as mobile batteries and chargers for smartphones (smartphones). For example, a 10000mAh mobile battery can extend the operating time by about 3.5 hours. With a smartphone charger (5V / 1.5A), charging is completed in about 7.5 hours. It is encouraging to have such a versatile charging function in combination with a long battery of about 11 hours. The backlit keyboard uses a fluorine-containing UV-curing coating to reduce print deterioration. It inherits the "Infinite Palm Rest", which has a VAIO-like hinge structure that eliminates steps in the palm rest, and the "Tilt Up Hinge," which has a tilted keyboard. This tilt-up hinge structure realizes a variable bezel-less structure with a small step between the display area and the keyboard because the frame at the bottom of the display also sinks. In addition to FHD (1920 x 1080 dots), 4K (3840 x 2160 dots) high-definition LCD is available for the LCD panel. It appeals to improve the efficiency of parallel work, improve the quality of character display, and make it easy to read and not tire the eyes. A new attempt has been made regarding performance this time as well. The operation of Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 has been tuned to extend the maximum operating time of performance and improve sustainable performance thereafter. To that end, we are reviewing the cooling performance, devising the installation of parts and controlling the wind so that heat does not stay in part. The Core i7 model, which requires high performance, has specially changed the heat sink and heat sink to copper material. Therefore, the weight is increased, but the performance is improved by 25% when using VAIO True Performance. Equipped with 8th generation CPU and VAIO True Performance The VAIO SX14 is said to have about twice the performance improvement compared to the high performance model "VAIO Z" (Core i7-6567U). Although it is a VAIO standard model, it is interesting that it surpasses the high performance model in terms of performance in addition to the large screen, 4K LCD and lightness. In addition to black, the lineup includes three body colors, silver and brown. In addition, ALL BLACK EDITION is also available. In addition to the normal Japanese keyboard, ALL BLACK EDITION can also select an unmarked Japanese keyboard and an unmarked English keyboard.

I think it became clear.
