00:00:00.430 --> 00:00:04.430
- So this is about Max moving around. - [Man] Can you undo that top button?

00:00:05.550 --> 00:00:09.160
- Undo like this one? No, we're not doing that. - That's...

00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:12.959
All right, that's fine- - Undo the top button, yes.

00:00:12.959 --> 00:00:17.130
- That's way better. - Looking for better audio. This right here is the Sony...

00:00:17.130 --> 00:00:20.660
This right here is the not Sony VAIO SX12.

00:00:20.660 --> 00:00:24.610
So you're probably thinking where has VAIO been for the past,

00:00:24.610 --> 00:00:28.260
I don't know, since I think it was 2014 when they stopped existing, kind of.

00:00:28.260 --> 00:00:31.950
Well, they've been slowly, you know, making their own laptops.

00:00:31.950 --> 00:00:36.320
Apparently when they broke up, they wanted to get away from like general consumer stuff

00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:40.610
and into more like bleeding edge high-end stuff.

00:00:40.610 --> 00:00:43.810
So here we have it, the VAIO SX12,

00:00:43.810 --> 00:00:47.570
what is apparently the thinnest laptop in the world

00:00:47.570 --> 00:00:51.330
that has a six core processor. I'm not totally sure why that's

00:00:51.330 --> 00:00:54.720
a necessary thing to know but, you know, let's see how it goes.

00:00:54.720 --> 00:00:57.933
So the box I would say it looks really great. Very, I don't know.

00:00:57.933 --> 00:01:01.170
It's black. It says VAIO on it. There we go.

00:01:01.170 --> 00:01:05.820
And it's in a little bag. I actually quite like this box,

00:01:05.820 --> 00:01:08.910
but let's see how the laptop... Oh, cool.

00:01:08.910 --> 00:01:12.280
So it's just, you know, a nice matte black little laptop.

00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.460
There isn't a whole lot about the outside besides... Holy crap.

00:01:15.460 --> 00:01:18.830
Those are a lot of ports. So I was looking at originally,

00:01:18.830 --> 00:01:22.360
I thought like, did they just copy the design from 2014?

00:01:22.360 --> 00:01:26.150
And like, that's why it has so many ports, like freaking VGA right here.

00:01:26.150 --> 00:01:30.760
But it turns out no. Even like when they stopped producing VAIO laptops,

00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.773
they didn't have anywhere near this many ports. Like it was just, I think there was a HDMI

00:01:33.773 --> 00:01:39.093
and two USBs here. Whereas now we have VGA, Ethernet, HDMI.

00:01:40.050 --> 00:01:45.260
That has a Thunderbolt sign. Yes. So we have Thunderbolt and then USB-A

00:01:45.260 --> 00:01:48.270
and SD card full-size. On the other side we have,

00:01:48.270 --> 00:01:54.460
wow, another two USB Type-As, a headphone port and that's about it, power in.

00:01:54.460 --> 00:01:58.670
So we have a power cord, kind of an old school style one

00:01:58.670 --> 00:02:03.950
where they have, you know, the barrel connector. It doesn't appear to have USB-C type charging.

00:02:03.950 --> 00:02:07.300
Thank you for purchasing our new VAIO PC. Well I didn't purchase it.

00:02:07.300 --> 00:02:11.350
But, you know? The VAIO PC now in your hands has successfully completed

00:02:11.350 --> 00:02:15.410
the Azumino Finish. All essential elements focusing on inspira...

00:02:16.918 --> 00:02:20.650
What else we got here? Startup guide. We can probably figure that ourself. All right, well, I guess we just get

00:02:20.650 --> 00:02:24.113
right into the laptop here. Hopefully it has power.

00:02:25.610 --> 00:02:29.340
And here we go. Over the keyboard they have what feels like a microfiber cloth.

00:02:29.340 --> 00:02:32.650
It's actually quite nice. So it does have the cool kind of hinge

00:02:32.650 --> 00:02:38.090
you see it on some ASUS laptops these days or I think that old VAIO ones did as well,

00:02:38.090 --> 00:02:41.310
where it's flat on the table,

00:02:41.310 --> 00:02:46.250
but then as you lift it up, it creates a small gap between the table

00:02:46.250 --> 00:02:50.320
and you know, the bottom of the laptop. This will be good for two things. So for one,

00:02:50.320 --> 00:02:54.910
it'll be much nicer for your hands where, you know, you'd have the slight inclination

00:02:54.910 --> 00:02:59.010
while you're typing, which should make typing for long periods of time a little bit easier.

00:02:59.010 --> 00:03:02.050
And also, you know, it has a six core processor in it.

00:03:02.050 --> 00:03:06.310
So it's gonna need lots of air getting in there and just shoot it out and, you know, heat everything up

00:03:06.310 --> 00:03:10.297
besides hopefully the processor itself. Looks like that we also have Windows Hello right up there.

00:03:10.297 --> 00:03:13.810
And I think there's a fingerprint. Yeah, there's a fingerprint reader right here.

00:03:13.810 --> 00:03:18.430
So, getting into it should be pretty simple. Oh, oof!

00:03:18.430 --> 00:03:23.830
This trackpad, look at that. This right here has to be the smallest trackpad

00:03:23.830 --> 00:03:27.350
I've seen in nearly a decade I would say.

00:03:27.350 --> 00:03:34.060
This is frigging tiny. This laptop is nearly $1,900

00:03:34.060 --> 00:03:39.750
and, yep, it is really light. But I don't know, it's quite plasticky

00:03:39.750 --> 00:03:45.660
kind of around here for what you would expect from something that's $1,900.

00:03:45.660 --> 00:03:50.860
Here We have the last gen XPS 13. So these right here are identically specced machines.

00:03:50.860 --> 00:03:56.640
Although the Dell comes in at $50 less and has a 4K touchscreen

00:03:56.640 --> 00:04:00.163
as opposed to, I believe it's a 1080p. Yeah.

00:04:00.163 --> 00:04:05.840
No touching at all here. As far as the actual screen quality goes,

00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:10.390
unsurprisingly the 4K display on the Dell

00:04:10.390 --> 00:04:14.110
is just sharper and generally better.

00:04:14.110 --> 00:04:18.430
But I don't care about that too too much like the 4Kness of it,

00:04:18.430 --> 00:04:22.600
because like, you know, 1080p on a 13 inch display,

00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:26.210
I need to get what? Here before I can start seeing pixels at all.

00:04:26.210 --> 00:04:29.960
And I'm not using this computer that close. You'd probably be looking more at using it

00:04:29.960 --> 00:04:34.930
like right around here somewhere. I want to say nice things about this computer

00:04:34.930 --> 00:04:38.100
'cause overall, like, I don't think it's all that bad

00:04:38.100 --> 00:04:41.300
from what I've been using besides this trackpad.

00:04:41.300 --> 00:04:44.530
It's abominable. Every time that I go to do something

00:04:44.530 --> 00:04:47.960
it's just so terrible. And you can't even be like, oh, it's fine

00:04:47.960 --> 00:04:51.710
because you know, you can use the touchscreen. But there is no touchscreen option.

00:04:51.710 --> 00:04:55.510
You just have to use this. Come on guys.

00:04:55.510 --> 00:04:59.860
So for one thing, there's no like press to click. That isn't necessarily a deal breaker,

00:04:59.860 --> 00:05:06.780
but you just kind of expect it these days. It has these super duper small little right click,

00:05:06.780 --> 00:05:10.140
left click guys that for one, they just don't feel great.

00:05:10.140 --> 00:05:15.120
Like the snap isn't very great. You can kind of see where I push it,

00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.380
there's a lot of mush before you actually get into the click.

00:05:18.380 --> 00:05:21.956
Anyway, back to the keyboard here.

00:05:21.956 --> 00:05:25.120
(keyboard clicking)

00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:30.300
Hmm. It feels kinda bouncy almost,

00:05:30.300 --> 00:05:33.660
not so much the keys but just sort of the whole chassis underneath it.

00:05:33.660 --> 00:05:37.230
It's pretty, not fantastic. You can really feel it

00:05:37.230 --> 00:05:41.730
when you're clicking down any of the keys that the whole deck is flexing,

00:05:41.730 --> 00:05:45.620
which even though these might be good keys, I have no clue. It doesn't really matter

00:05:45.620 --> 00:05:48.840
if you don't have the chassis flex. But, oh, look at that up there.

00:05:48.840 --> 00:05:53.340
Are you able to see? This is just me pressing the keys and the whole deck is flexing.

00:05:53.340 --> 00:05:57.890
So if you compare that to the XPS here, this is as hard as I can push.

00:05:57.890 --> 00:06:01.440
You do see some flex and it's, there's barely anything

00:06:01.440 --> 00:06:05.770
'cause you know, this thing is made of carbon fiber and magnesium. Whereas this right here,

00:06:05.770 --> 00:06:10.480
bit on the plasticky side for sure. 1900 bucks

00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.720
and you have that. We haven't gotten to the fun bit yet though.

00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.800
So, it does have that six core processor.

00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.913
Let's see how it does with a little Blender render.

00:06:20.808 --> 00:06:24.160
F12. I wouldn't expect it to be able to do

00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.720
anywhere near max turbo the whole time. Like if I had to guess

00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:31.270
we'll probably be sitting at about 2.6 gigahertz but...

00:06:31.270 --> 00:06:35.110
Oh, it's already at 94 degrees.

00:06:35.110 --> 00:06:39.410
We're down to 2.3 gigahertz. As far as the speed goes,

00:06:39.410 --> 00:06:42.563
ah, it's not great given how long it's been going.

00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.330
About this Dell here, just as a little comparison.

00:06:47.330 --> 00:06:50.980
Let's just, it's not the same task. We're not going to really drag race these two.

00:06:50.980 --> 00:06:54.510
I don't have the power brick for this one. But I just want to see how loud it gets

00:06:54.510 --> 00:06:58.210
in comparison. Although this is definitely a bit on the loud side,

00:06:58.210 --> 00:07:03.220
I'd say that, given that it's like six cores and something that's of this size,

00:07:03.220 --> 00:07:06.760
it's really not bad. Like we're not getting like the Razor Blade whine

00:07:06.760 --> 00:07:10.150
or anything. So far the Dell is silent,

00:07:10.150 --> 00:07:15.730
but I don't think that will last very long. Anyway, on the VAIO it seems to have, you know,

00:07:15.730 --> 00:07:18.920
leveled out somewhere around 2.2, 2.3 gigahertz,

00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:24.133
which isn't all that bad. But it's not incredible.

00:07:26.390 --> 00:07:30.100
I think the Dell might be at max speed, but I just can't really tell

00:07:30.100 --> 00:07:34.190
because of how much louder the VAIO is. All right, we're not gonna complete this render

00:07:34.190 --> 00:07:37.964
'cause it's taking half a while. It's able to hold. It's thermal is pretty good.

00:07:37.964 --> 00:07:42.770
Like it has leveled out around 85-87 degrees thereish

00:07:43.740 --> 00:07:46.780
while doing 2.2 gigahertz switches.

00:07:46.780 --> 00:07:54.040
I would say very acceptable for a machine of this size. As for the sound, it's definitely on the higher end.

00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:58.830
Although I wouldn't consider it unacceptable. Like this Dell is so much quieter.

00:07:58.830 --> 00:08:03.160
You can barely hear it. Even though the fan are really giving air.

00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:07.940
Going back to the overall just size of this machine though,

00:08:07.940 --> 00:08:10.960
I can't get over the number of ports.

00:08:10.960 --> 00:08:15.913
Like we have said, I don't know, it doesn't feel amazing.

00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:23.540
But it also doesn't feel bad. Like as far as flex in this direction,

00:08:23.540 --> 00:08:28.800
there's almost none. As far as screen wobble, almost none.

00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:33.510
Like I would consider that very good. The screen flex it's a bit on the flexy side,

00:08:33.510 --> 00:08:37.153
but again, totally acceptable. Like, okay, this is way stiffer.

00:08:38.040 --> 00:08:41.170
But it doesn't really matter. You're not doing this all day.

00:08:42.180 --> 00:08:45.230
This is... Okay, the Dell is way better

00:08:45.230 --> 00:08:49.683
as far as general build quality goes. But it's also a lot heavier.

00:08:50.900 --> 00:08:54.540
Yeah. So let's see what the actual difference is between these two.

00:08:54.540 --> 00:08:57.680
We've got like 850 grams.

00:08:57.680 --> 00:09:03.700
That is frigging light. This one right here is about 1200 or so.

00:09:03.700 --> 00:09:06.593
That's you know, a good what? 400 gram difference.

00:09:08.530 --> 00:09:12.580
You're going to notice that in your backpack. Like I can just, tossing these around

00:09:12.580 --> 00:09:14.423
really feel it in my hands.

00:09:15.680 --> 00:09:21.510
But I don't know. The VAIO might be one of the most disappointing laptops

00:09:21.510 --> 00:09:25.680
I've used in quite a while. It's so light. It has so many ports

00:09:25.680 --> 00:09:29.950
and somehow is really thin. Like is it thinner than the XPS?

00:09:29.950 --> 00:09:34.330
Well, of course it is. They said that... Oh no, it isn't. They said that it was the thinnest six core,

00:09:34.330 --> 00:09:37.500
but looking at, it's not.

00:09:37.500 --> 00:09:40.640
It's really not. But it's really close.

00:09:40.640 --> 00:09:46.590
It's within a couple millimeters. And for the price that they're commanding,

00:09:46.590 --> 00:09:50.540
this right here should be carbon fiber and this needs to be bigger.

00:09:50.540 --> 00:09:55.380
So like my recommendations are like this whole keyboard needs to come up a couple centimeters.

00:09:55.380 --> 00:09:59.770
That will give you more space for your palms to rest and also like the key thing is just

00:09:59.770 --> 00:10:03.600
more space for this trackpad 'cause it is unacceptable.

00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:08.320
And then maybe make the whole top carbon fiber. And that would allow you to, you know,

00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:12.350
not notice that kind of, oh, so much flex.

00:10:12.350 --> 00:10:16.680
What else can we see here? Oh, I wonder how the speakers are? It already sounds a little bit crushed,

00:10:16.680 --> 00:10:21.370
but it's not too too bad. (upbeat music)

00:10:21.370 --> 00:10:24.630
There's no base at all. I wouldn't really expect there to be much of bass in this,

00:10:24.630 --> 00:10:29.637
but you know, it's low enough that I would say it's a bit disappointing.

00:10:29.637 --> 00:10:32.990
"Crab Rave". Let's see what it sounds like on the XPS.

00:10:33.966 --> 00:10:36.423
(upbeat music) There's no comparison.

00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:42.210
So I don't know how to feel about this. Everything that I remember from VAIO was just very high quality

00:10:42.210 --> 00:10:47.420
and this given the price, I don't know it just doesn't really stick the landing.

00:10:47.420 --> 00:10:51.630
It has the ports, it has the size and like the feel and look,

00:10:51.630 --> 00:10:57.210
I have to say is pretty good. But I don't know. The build quality and this trackpad is just inexcusable.

00:10:57.210 --> 00:11:01.340
There's no way that you can use a trackpad like this and not have a touchscreen in 2020.

00:11:01.340 --> 00:11:05.520
Like, I don't know. They just need to go back to the drawing board a bit and figure that one out.

00:11:05.520 --> 00:11:10.233
Anyway, get subscribed, hit like or whatever, the bell.

00:11:11.700 --> 00:11:12.533
See ya.
