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 join in the fun. With 10 point capacitive touch, kids can apply all the tools directly on the screen with two hands as if they're painting or drawing on the real canvas.

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.

Step in the right direction

Pros: Ready for future technology and smart design

Cons: Hardware is too limited for today's standard

When I first had a look at this I was impressed and wanted one right away. Looking at what you get for the price you pay, I was rather quickly very disappointed. It is a step ahead on other brands by entering this market with something totally new, yes it is really a class of its own. However, for all the great uses I can think of it just doesn't seem to have the power and capability it should have. Processor speed is something that was considered awesome 5 years ago but today, you need a lot more than that. For something that is a step in to the future you would expect it has room for more than 8 GB of RAM, and resolution on a 20" screen should be at least 1920 X 1080, not 1600 X 900. I still want to give it an overall rating of 4 out of 5 because it is a daring step towards what may become standard in the future.
