Large screen. Has 10-finger multitouch screen. Innovative hinge and kickstand. Includes wireless keyboard and mouse. Comes with a battery for (limited) portability.
Mobile components limit performance. Not full 1080p HD. Only single-band Wi-Fi. Only 30-day subscription to Internet Security updates. Less than two hours battery life

Built-in battery, Large screen (for a tablet), Versatile design
Heavy, cumbersome, Low screen resolution, Bundled keyboard and mouse aren't great
Sony's VAIO Tap 20 wants to bridge the gap between your study desk and your couch. With its internal battery it's good for around 90 minutes of Web browsing or video watching -- not a huge amount, but better than nothing. It's got Ultrabook-class specs, s...
