The new VAIO laptop was recently announced and will have a compact design with a number of compatible ports. The machine is titled the 'SX12' and it features a 12.5-inch display and customizable options for consumers. The model also has a more space-efficient design than previous iterations. This is due to the fact that the keyboard now extends to the end of the laptop, as well as the thinned out bezels.
The new VAIO laptop has a design that focuses on compatibility. This is evident from the ports on the machine, which includes three USB-A ports, one USB-C port, an HDMI port, an SD card slot, a headphone jack, an ethernet port and lastly a VGA port.
The machine will be available in Japan first, with no information on the US release.
