Remarkable laptop with remarkable portability

I spent about 3 months researching laptops. I wanted it all: speed, storage, portability, connectivity, great design, good price and something that was forward enough such that I wouldn't have to replace it in 2-3 years. The SX12 32 GB 2TB PCIe SSD is the closest I found to perfection. A remarkable piece of engineering. Try getting similar features from any other manufacturer and you'll pay at least $1000 more. Great job SONY!

A couple steps forward, a couple steps backward.

My Sony Vaio S laptop from 2014 mysteriously kept crashing shortly after Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 7 and I needed a new one. The SX laptop is around the same size as the S laptop when the sheet battery is attached. Wish the SX had an option for a sheet battery. The S laptop colors are more vivid and vibrant when watching movies and shows because it used Sony's X reality processor from its TV lineup whereas the SX colors are too washed out for my liking. The S laptop had a 1st generation i7 processor and my only complaint was that the fan was really loud during high processing actions. Hard to believe in 8 years Intel is still using an i7 processor at least the fan noise isn't a problem. The SX has a much more immersive sound with Dolby Atmos speakers and the webcam has high quality resolution. My coworkers have been asking me why I look so clear during conference calls. Once Sony sold Vaio there were always going to be a few steps forward and a few steps backward but I'm happy with my purchase.

It will not disappoint!

This is the third VAIO I have owed. I really like all the ports it has. Everything I need to use plugs right into the computer. The only reason I bought the third one is that my 2nd VAIO could not be updated to Windows 11 and will not have any updates after next year due to Sony selling the brand. For the first VAIO, I couldn't update PowerPoint about 15 or so years ago...but they both still work...which is why I bought my 3rd one. If you mainly use your computer for business, school, or household functions this has plenty of power and memory. Not sure about gaming. Customer service was excellent in answering all my questions prior to buying. I highly recommend buying one. It will not disappoint!

Really good machine

The laptop quality is really good plus the battery managment helps tons. Since every other laptop is made in China it is very good to see Vaio from Japan to push the envelope and continue to deliver high end laptops that ypu can actually keep for years to come.

SX12 512gb: A Great alternative to the other guy’s.

I actually like these tiny new Vaios, great graphics and a lightning quick processor. It holds about the same charge as my 5 pound 4yo HP Pavilion and has way more practical compact size. Also great for someone that doesn’t need the extras like touch screen. I find Vaio’s home control panel easier to manage and a bit more equipped than my HP too. The build quality noticeably good, but still obviously delicate. Incidentally I found out that they build all of these laptops in-house in Japan instead of using cheap labor (pretty cool), and the price is still similar to the other mainstream notebooks. Mine has 16g if ram and a 512ssd so using some CAD programs like Adobe Inventor is doable, although not ideal. My only dislikes is the obnoxious Fn key controls, and although I know it’s common on compact laptops, I really wish they could’ve added a brightness and volume row maybe above the top row. That and no free vendor Office 365. Otherwise I’m actually quite happy I made the switch.

Awesome Little Machine

I am a road warrior that is constantly traveling for business. I purchased these SX-12 due to its size, features and reputation of the Vaio line. This little machine packs some power. The computer is quick, light and easy to haul around the country. The keyboard, screen and the input/output features make this machine a perfect choice for power users. This is an excellent mobile companion!

Great Look and Powerful !

I love this computer, it is pink, runs really fast and its made in Japan, not made of Mexico or China. If its made in Japan, there's quality assurance. Although the battery charger gets hot really quickly. I hope it does not over heat. So far so good. I am happy with this purchase at the moment. This computer came pretty fast thru the mail.

Power, Portable, Ultra-Understated Gem of a Laptop

I love the fact I can carry this in a small backpack with negligible weight. The cores keep this humming, where other ultra-portables have issues with more intense computing. The keyboard and trackpad work great as well, with surprisingly good travel on the keys. This is not inexpensive, but it is worth every penny. This laptop will give great service and looks fantastic at the same time.

The Samurai Sword of Computers

You should guilt your family into buying you one of these beautiful kachi-iro laptops as a wedding gift, or other gift, as I did. You will feel like uma thurman in kill bill. This is the hattori hanzo of notebooks, mind you. After I got this, I polished it every day. The finish is so shiny, it's got a shiny, almost lacquered-up looking finish. I couldn't stop polishing it, every time you touch it, you'll leave fingerprints on it. The inside aluminum next to the trackpad also retains hand moisture and reminds you that everything beautiful looks ugly when it's working. But don't worry, these geniuses give you a microfiber towellette in the same kachi-iro blue for you to polish this machine of the gods back to perfection.

Perfect Travel Companion

I've been searching for quite some time for a super mobile laptop. Most manufacturers will make a 11" model but they almost always come with ChromeOS which I'm not interested. Finally along comes the VAIO SX12. Small and lightweight but still full featured. Same Intel processor you find in larger laptops, Windows 10 Pro standard and every port imaginable. So not only do I have a super light portable laptop but I also don't need to carry any extra peripherals. The perfect mobile business laptop.

Ultra-portability without compromise. Fast and durable while still offering superior connectivity and usability.

Pink is the new power red
Following the tradition of creating powerful, high-quality, and stunningly attractive laptops, VAIO presents the SX12 in professional pink. We are redefining industry standards for design and function to help make you the alpha even when you are out of the office.

Big things come in small packages
VAIO SX12 provides lightweight, high performance and versatility for when you can't wait for business to come to you.

Function compliments form
VAIO's unique wedge shape and hairline finish at the hinge where the keyboard tilts up is gorgeously rendered ergonomic design.

Beautiful doesn't mean delicate
The crisp, silver VAIO logo on a pink matte magnesium alloy surface resist fingerprints and scratches, and we bet you won't be able to keep your hands off it.

Unmatched durability
A light yet tough framework of unidirectional carbon fiber makes VAIO SX12 flexible where it counts so that conquering daily wear is now easy and stylish.

Strong and thin is in
The VAIO SX12 bezel is dramatically thinner for a stylish frame around a larger 12.5-inch Full HD display.

The keys to comfort
VAIO SX12 has a full-pitch keyboard and pink anodized palm rests that extends to the edge of the laptop so you can type comfortably everywhere.

Silence is pink, and golden
The unidirectional carbon framework also reduces mid and high-level frequency keystroke noise.

Clean to the touch
The key tops are with treated specially developed fluorine UV-cured coating to prevent smudges, wear, and slickness caused by the oil in your fingertips.

Limitless connectivity
VAIO SX12 is the ideal travel companion since it comes with a standard-sized SD card slot, an HDMI port, a legacy VGA port, two USB-A 3.0 ports, and a headphone jack.

Out of the office, not out of reach
The Full HD Display has a micro matte finish and scratch resistant screen, so you get brilliant, eye-catching details and color without the glare.

The narrow frame and bezel won't compromise VAIO SX12's connectivity with the wi-fi antenna placed at the top of the display to provide the best reception.

VAIO craftsmanship and commitment to quality
All VAIO laptops are built at the Azumino factory in Nagano Prefecture to ensure craftsmanship and quality controls are met on a unique 50 plus item checklist. Each person who handles your laptop is tasked to earn your trust and confidence in the VAIO brand.

Efficient Power
With an available 10th generation Intel six core processor and enhanced with VAIO TruePerformance, the VAIO SX12 provides powerful performance to keep up with all your computing demands.

Effortless Handling
The VAIO SX12 is crafted with a thin and lightweight design. At 0.59" tall and 2.01 lbs, it is easy to hold and ideal to carry.

VAIO TruePerformance

What is VAIO TruePerformance?
Intel CPUs, such as the Core i5 adopted by VAIO, have "Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0" installed, which enhances performance at peak usage. However, the period during which maximum performance can be maintained is limited by power consumption and temperature, and the performance will degrade. "VAIO TruePerformance" is technology designed to maintain higher performance for a longer period of time by increasing CPU power limits and more efficiently eliminating heat.

Compact Full Screen
With a narrow bezel design, the A4 size body accommodates a 12.5-inch display screen for a 16% broader viewing experience than the VAIO S11.

Compatible Convenience
Disregard the need for external adapters. With a USB Type-C port, 3 USB ports, an HDMI port, a VGA connector and LAN connection, experience connectivity at the optimal level.

SD Cart Slot | USB (3.1) | USB Type-C | HDMI | LAN | VGA | AC Power | Security Lock | USB (3.0) | USB (3.0) | Headphone Jack.

Well HELLO!
Sign in fast, secure, and password-less with Windows Hello.

Access Denied
Security literally at your fingertips. Instantly login to your VAIO SX12 with the new fingerprint reader. Exceptional security to prevent malicious intent.

Minimally Full Sized
The VAIO SX12 is designed with a compact body yet features a full-size keyboard. Typing can be done comfortably and error-free, regardless in the office or on the road.

Nothing Less Than Perfect
To guarantee precision and maintain exacting standards, every new VAIO SX12 is completed at VAIO headquarters in Nagano, Japan.
