Sony outs VAIO Tap 20 Tablet PC

Together with the VAIO Duo 11, Sony also announced the VAIO Tap 20, a 20-inch slab that functions as a huge tablet and a desktop PC.

The Tap 20 has a full-adjustable 20-inch display with a resolution of 1600 x 900 that features a 10-point multi-touch operation. It uses Sony’s Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2 to ensure that it produces crisp and clear images with fine details as well as ClearAudio+ for high quality sound. Partner the Tap 20 with a wireless keyboard and mouse and you can use it as an All-in-One PC. But what if you’re tired of using it as a PC? Just adjust the flexible stand and lay the VAIO flat on its back. Now you can use the large multi-touch display to play games with your friends, read magazines, sketch pictures and more.

The VAIO Tap 20 is powered by the latest Intel Core processors, has a battery life of up to 2.5 hours and weighs 5.2kg.
