Let's give it its due. The Sony Vaio Tap 20 is as versatile as a non-laptop gets. It has its moderate muscle, it has a hundred different places you could put it in your home, and that screen is - at least if you're thinking tablet - absolutely enormous. ...

Unique, innovative design; makes a fabulous pinball simulator.
Only 4GB of memory; no HDMI in (or out); very slow benchmark performances.
Of all the computers I've looked at over the last 25 years, these two were the hardest to pick between because they are so similar -- and, at the same time, so different. I really like the Tap 20's handle-stand and the inclusion of ArtRage software. I...
