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 notebook review: Uniquely Japanese

 

The Vaio SX14 is one of the few remaining notebooks still made in the Land of the Rising Sun. How does it fare?

Incredibly light ; Good performance & battery life ; USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports ; USB-A and full-size HDMI, Ethernet ports ; Camera has physical privacy shutter ; Made in Japan

Expensive ; Display only Full-HD (for now) ; Non-clickable trackpad ; Can be loud and warm

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.

VAIO SX14 (2021) Review

 

The VAIO SX14 is a bit overpriced and under-equipped to rival the finest 14-inch thin and light laptops.

VAIO SX14 Review

 

With its 14-inch display (rather than the typical 13.3-inch screen) and blazing red chassis, the VAIO SX14 stands out from other ultraportables, but this 2.3-pounder could use a few more hours of battery life.

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
