Sony is showing off several new computers at the IFA consumer-electronics show in Berlin this week, including a convertible notebook with a 15-inch IPS panel boasting native resolution of 2880 by 1620 pixels. Dubbed the VAIO Flip 15, this notebook is also capable of driving an external HDMI monitor at 4K resolution (3820 by 2160 pixels).
Sony’s touchscreen strategy has been quite aggressive, and the company has no intention of backing off. Forty percent of its VAIO line of PCs were outfitted with touchscreens when Microsoft launched Windows 8 in October, 2012. That number had jumped to 90 percent by this past spring. With today’s laptop and all-in-one announcements, Sony claims that 98 percent of its computers now boast touchscreens.
Sony is also offering a pressure-sensitive digitizing pen, the Active Pen, as standard equipment on some of its new models (it will be available as an option on others). Sony announced that it has collaborated with Adobe to add Active Pen support to Adobe’s Adobe Illustrator Creative Cloud and Adobe Photoshop Creative Cloud software.
VAIO Flip PC
The VAIO Flip PC series is equipped with a unique second hinge—a thin rubber membrane—that allows the display to flip up and around to face away from the backlit keyboard. You can then push the back of the display down on top of the keyboard and use the notebook as a tablet. The concept is very similar to Lenovo’s Yoga series, except that the Yoga’s keyboard ends up on top of your desk when you flip its screen.
