Toying around with the Vaio Tap 20 leads me to believe this could be the ideal solution for a household that needs a computer to serve all needs.At times – particularly when booting up – apps and programmes can be slow to start, but overall performance wa...

While the Vaio Tap 20 is definitely not one of the best all-in-ones in terms of processing, connectivity and extra features, Sony did grab our attention with a comfortable touch experience and a well-configured screen. But to get more than three stars, So...
Abstract: The kickstand moves between 15-90°, or it folds back flush so the device can be used in ‘tablet' mode – though it does resemble some sort of ubertech balance-board.In a way, it makes sense: touch and tablets were made for each other, and the 10-point mult...
Spec sheet aside, the Sony VAIO Tap 20 does work well as a family PC that can be shared by several people and easily carried from room to room. After a few days of testing we got used to having it on hand for a quick spot of web browsing or firing up t...

Not a Full HD screen, it's heavy, battery won't last out that long, not powerful enough to be considered a pro desktop, should be slimmer
"Interesting" is the word that springs to mind, but the Tap 20 fails to cohesively gel and feel like a fully successful product. It's fine enough as a standalone desktop, and while it does function as a tablet, it's the sheer scale, weight and limited ...

Large 10finger multitouch screen, Innovative hinge and kickstand, Somewhat portable, has internal battery
Mobile components limit performance, Display resolution only 1600 x 900, Built a little thick, and rather hefty
The Sony Vaio Tap 20 boasts an innovative design, and the flexibility afforded by its kickstand, and portability via its battery are certainly worthwhile boons. However, it’s heavy, only a so-so performer, and the 1,600 x 900 screen resolution is disapp...
Heavy, Expensive, Display doesn't cut it as a tablet screen
The Sony Vaio Tap 20 is difficult to recommend. It has a large screen and some claim to in-house portability, but when it weighs as much as a desktop PC, the equation doesn't quite fit. Especially when the screen has fewer pixels than some 10-inch tablets...
