VAIO SX14 review: Lots of ports mean business

 

A lightweight laptop with ports — but no battery life — to spare

Has almost every port you could need ; Lightweight, but sturdy ; Tilted keyboard is comfortable to type on

Insufficient battery life ; Too-small touchpad ; No touchscreen or LTE options

Vaio SX14 (2021) review: Swing and a miss

 

The Vaio SX14 packs power in an subpar chassis

Faintly sophisticated design ; Great performanceVariety of ports ; Solid battery life ; Lightweight

Overpriced ; Dull display with lackluster touchscreen response ; Subpar keyboard ; Tinny, distorted audio

The Vaio SX14 (2021) returns with a fresh look and eye-popping specs under the hood, but the rest of the laptop offers an underwhelming experience for an expensive price.

Vaio SX14 (i5-8265U, FHD) Laptop Review

 

Notebookcheck reviews the Vaio SX14, the first Vaio laptop available in Europe since Sony abandoned the PC business in 2014. Can the modern heir of the Sony Vaio brand convince use to give it a recommendation?

lightweight & stable chassis;comfortable keyboard;screen with good color gamut coverage;ample port selection (VGA, RJ45, SD card-reader);LTE standard in every model in Germany;good CPU performance;chassis does not get warm under load

bad battery life;annoying fan control;Thunderbolt 3 is missing;touchpad is too small;bad speakers;no ISO keyboard;high pricing

Vaio SX14 review: Under new management, Vaio laptops live again Review | ZDNet

 

The Vaio SX14 offers a slim, lightweight design and strong performance, along with a wide range of connectivity features. Battery life leaves room for improvement though.

Attractive, lightweight design ; Strong performance ; Good connectivity, including mobile broadband

Expensive, especially in the UK ; Poor expansion and repair options ; Moderate FHD screen resolution ; Battery life could be better

Vaio SX14

 

The Vaoi SX14 is light, good-looking and serves up a good screen and reasonable performance – but the battery life and price both hinder its chances in a mature market. Find our more in our full review.

Vaio SX14 review: A shadow of its former self

 

One of the most beloved laptop families makes its comeback, but trips at the first hurdle

Basically every port you'll ever need; Good performance; It's nice to see the Vaio brand back again

Disappointing battery life; Underwhelming display; Build quality leaves something to be desired; Expensive

Seeing the once-beloved Vaio brand back on our desk is a gratifying hit of nostalgia, but it’s not the showstopper it once was. A high price and disappointing screen and battery life leave it lacking against higher-quality rivals.

Vaio SX14 laptop review

 

The compact, lightweight design is very attractive.

We would really like to recommend the Vaio SX14. The compact, lightweight design is very attractive. The newest BIOS update, however, does enhance the battery life, but not enough to make this get through the day.
