NO, the new investors of VAIO never looked back, and now announce the VAIO Z, with hardware no other "tablet" could even think of coming close to. Taking direct aim APPLE's MacBook, with features Apple's laptop cannot touch.
The VAIO Z has a 2-in-1 flip Z flip design, letting it serve as a laptop or a tablet. Below a comparison
between the VAIO Z and a 13" MacBook.

Simply the specs.
The CPU power is utterly incredible! Where the average 13" laptop uses a 15-watt CPU, and Apple's MacBook Pro using 28-wat, the VAIO Z uses an incredible amount of power with 45-watt quad-core CPU! That's almost twice the power! With a built in boosting system that can run the CPU at higher temperatures when needed.
I personally cannot be too sure about the battery life, because of the power of the CPU, but the company speculates that in can do 11.5 hours with their new "Z-Engine".
It also comes with 16GB RAM and the new M.2 NVMe 256GB SSD.
HOWEVER it is quite an expensive toy to have only starting at $1800, having only a i5 CPU, and 8GB of RAM. There is also a downgrade version, which only has a 28-watt CPU and 8GB of RAM for $1499, But that would sort of kill the entire hype of the raw power of the machine, i would believe.
Overall it sounds quite impressive, but we will not know until we have tested it ourselves.
