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.

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
Expert review by : Adam Shepherd (itpro.co.uk)
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.

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.

The VAIO SX14 is a bit overpriced and under-equipped to rival the finest 14-inch thin and light laptops.
Expert review by : Eric Grevstad (pcmag.com)
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.

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
Expert review by : Darragh Murphy (laptopmag.com)
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.
