Review of Sony Vaio Flip 15 laptops

The supporters:The slim, powerful Sony Vaio Flip 15 is a sharp-looking 15-inch hybrid that works great in its laptop mode, and has some very high-end options.
“I really like the SONY battery support for this laptop. It lasts very long as of my experience. Also, the sleek design looks appealing for me. This is one laptop which I can trust to the core”
“It has great design and quick boot time. Slim and good design. Additionally, the screen is wide and displays lifelike images.”
“Good value for money. ”
“This laptop is loaded with great features.”
“A large touch pad works well, especially in conjunction with the touch screen. Multitouch gestures, usually a sticking point for Windows laptops, are smooth here, especially the all-important two-finger scroll. ”
The neutral: Sony’s unique attempt at a big-screen hybrid looks great and is reasonably priced, but it works better as a laptop than a tablet.
The opponents: The tablet mode doesn’t lie completely flat, battery life should be better, and the screen is especially glossy.
“I  am not satisfied with SYSTEM as its not user friendly and seems difficult for me.”
“Not as slight as other Sony laptops.”
“Price of this Sony Vaio Flip 15 could be  cheaper.”

Design and features
The SONY Vaio Flip 15 is a slim 15-inch midsize laptop with a silver brushed-aluminum lid and keyboard tray and black accents. It’s one of the sharper-looking 15-inch laptops I’ve seen this year, and has a bit of a 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro vibe.
The interior is eye-catching in that it’s nearly monochromatic. The same brushed-metal look from the lid extends to the wrist rest and area surrounding the keyboard, which has silver keys against a silver base, and is backlit in white, creating a bright, clean overall look.
The lid and keyboard tray both extend out from the sides of the base slightly, creating the optical illusion that the system is even thinner than it is. At a hair over five pounds, this isn’t a carry-it-around-every-day laptop, but it’s fine for occasional trips to the office or coffee shop.
The keyboard is similar to Sony’s other island-style keyboards, a style the company has been using longer than even Apple. The key size and spacing are excellent, although there’s a lot of unused space on all sides, meaning that a larger keyboard or a separate numberpad could easily fit.
Sony packs in a lot of bonus software with the Vaio Flip (and much of it also appears on other Vaio laptops as well). The highlights include ArtRage Studio, a painting and drawing program, and Movie Studio, Acid, and Sound Forge, which are long-standing video and audio recording/editing apps. There’s an optional active stylus available, which seems like a natural tie-in to using ArtRage in the system’s tablet mode, although we really do live in a post-stylus world now, for the most part.
