Vaio Z Canvas Review, Specs: Powerful 12-inch Tablet with High Price Tag to Compete with MacBook Pro
The Vaio Z Canvas is a tablet similar in size to the new iPad Pro, but it runs a full version of Windows 10 and not a mobile operating system.
The Vaio Z Canvas has the power of a full PC and is aimed at professionals and people who like to use a stylus pen on a screen, CNet reports. The tablet commands a high price of $2,200.
The tablet will run a full version of Windows 10, has a detachable keyboard, a stylus, a high resolution screen and enough power to run video-editing programs. This makes the tablet perfect for media professionals working on the go.
A very powerful Intel Core i7 processor is included in the Vaio Z Canvas. This is the same chip that the most powerful and expensive laptops uses. In addition to a fast and powerful processor, the Vaio Z Canvas comes with Intel's best graphics card, the Iris Pro.
Buyers of the Vaio Z Canvas will be able to upgrade the tablet to include up to 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of internal solid state storage.
The battery-powered stylus pen is not quite as accurate as the one offered for the Microsoft Surface Pro tablets. This could frustrate some media professionals or graphic designers.
The design of the Vaio Z Canvas is very similar to the MacBook Pro. They are both made out of aluminum, but the Vaio Z Canvas uses the materials in just one slate instead of a foldable laptop. The Vaio Z Canvas also provides a touchscreen.
The 12.3-inch screen on the Vaio Z Canvas is similar to the 12.9-inch screen on the iPad Pro. The resolution on the Vaio Z Canvas is 2,560 x 1,704 pixels, or 250 pixels per inch (ppi). The resolution of the iPad Pro is slightly better at 2,732 x 2,048 pixels, or 264 ppi.
The price on the Vaio Z Canvas will keep away most potential buyers. The users that will take full advantage of the powerful processor and graphics card are most likely to buy this tablet.
