Since it was sold by Sony last year, VAIO kept a low profile but they introduced their upcoming PCs in early February of 2015. Jumping to today, they are back in the market with their high-end offering.
The VAIO Z Canvas is a Windows 10 machine with a detachable keyboard dock. Unlike most convertibles, Z Canvas’ is physically disconnected from its dock when in use. It also has a digitizer stylus for sketching and writing on its 12.3-inch IPS WQXGA+ LCD (2560 x 1704 pixels). Its display is claimed to have 95% coverage of the Adobe RGB spectrum, making it ideal for professionals.

Even though they’re not Sony’s anymore they still kept the Sony’s pricing scheme. Expensive. I’d rather buy the upcoming Dell XPS 13.
