Gadgets: Sony Vaio Touch Tap 20 – Contest & Giveaway
What I love most about my job is that I get to introduce you all to new experiences, opportunities and things that I find interesting. Daniella and I teamed up a few weeks ago with Sony to launch the VAIO Touch series of computers, laptops and tablets. The event was held in Toronto at the Spoke club and the reception was amazing.
I’ve been playing around with my Sony VAIO Touch Tap 20 for a few months now and I love it! If you attended our influencer event a few weeks ago we announced that we would be giving some devices away to our readers! We would be giving away the device that we were paired up with to introduce. I was paired up with the VAIO Touch Tap 20 and I love it.
A few reason why I love the Tap 20.
1. It’s a 20-inch Touch Pad that also comes with a mouse and a keyboard.
2. It’s portable and you can bring it from room to room or to the kitchen if you want to look at recipes.
3. It comes with battery pack, so when it’s fully charged you can get about 8 hours of battery life without having it plugged into a wall.
4. The touch is intuitive and feels great to the touch.
5. Windowns 8 navigates really well on the device.
6. The Sony SOCIAL LIFE app allows you to connect with all of your social networks in one place.

Key Features
20” multi-touchscreen viewable from any angle
Every touch of your finger elicits snappy performance no matter what you’re doing. The 20” 1600 x 900 touchscreen LCD is equipped with IPS (in-plane switching) technology so you can enjoy a crisp image from any viewing angle. Backed by Sony TV technology, the Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 adds sharpness filters and noise reduction to display rich, beautiful content on your VAIO® Tap. Experience deep and vivid colours, noise reduction for seamless video, and sharpness filters to bring out every minute detail.
Built-in battery for easy transport from room to room
Equipped with a built-in battery, for cord-free convenience, the VAIO® TAP 20 easily moves from home office to couch for the enjoyment of all. Simply pick it up and carry it room to room-no without having to worry about shutting down and re-booting.
Multi-position stand tilts the PC for optimal usage from desktop to tablet mode
The multi-position stand lets you tilt the VAIO to achieve the ideal angle for any activity. From an upright position, just push down gently on the PC until the position is perfect for you. Lay it flat to play board games or prop it up to read. You can even hold it in your lap while sitting on the sofa while surfing the web.
PlayMemories Home™ software
Uniquely smart and easy-to-use, PlayMemories Home™ software makes organizing, editing and sharing your photos and videos a cinch. Instantly import and sort your content by event or date. Then transform your favourites from ordinary to extraordinary with intuitive adjustments and stunning filters. You can even create slide-shows complete with transitions and soundtracks in 3 simple steps. Finally, share your pics privately with family and friends or on popular social networking sites like Facebook® and YouTube™. PlayMemories Online™ service can even securely store your content in the cloud allowing virtually all of your devices to access it anytime, anyplace.
HD web camera
The built-in webcam and microphone let’s your family and friends see you clearly while chatting. The Exmor® sensor helps guarantee a clear, bright picture even in dimly-lit rooms. And with select applications, you can use the webcam and a few simple hand gestures to turn pages, skip songs, adjust the volume and more.
Sensational Sound
Experience full-impact surround sound anywhere with Dolby® Home Theater® v4 technology on your PC. Whether you listen through headphones, the speakers in your laptop, or a connected home theater, a more captivating entertainment experience can be yours anytime. Dolby Home Theater technology offers total control over audio settings, so you can customize the sound for the maximum impact. It makes audio levels more consistent: set the volume once, and that’s where it stays.
Rapid Wake
With Sony’s own rapid wake technology, you never have to shut down your computer again. Whether you are done working for the day or just heading out to get some coffee, simply close the lid to put your PC into sleep mode. Then, when you’re ready to start again, resume in two seconds with your data safe and secure. If you are unplugged, don’t worry about draining your battery. Your PC can stay in sleep mode for days.

Switch from listening to music on your VAIO® PC to your compatible headphones by touching the headphones to the VAIO® TAP 20. Or if you want to see the same website on your PC from your NFC-enabled smartphone, just touch the mark and watch it on a larger screen.
HDD G-Sensor™ Shock Protection technology
G-Sensor™ Shock Protection technology counteracts sudden movements by locking up the spinning hard drive to help prevent potential damage, such as scratching, which could lead to data loss.

Family Paint™ software
Designed for painting and drawing, Family Paint™ software provides comprehensive drawing tools including size-adjustable colored pencils, crayons, markers, stamps and an eraser. On the VAIO® Tap, you can choose a split screen so more than one person can enjoy. With 10 point capacitive touch, you can apply all the tools directly on the screen with two hands as if you’re painting or drawing on the real canvas.
