However, don't expect the notebook to perform smoothly under a heavy workload: We encountered frequent stuttering when watching an episode of "House of Cards" on Netflix while simultaneously running a full system scan on Windows Defender. For instance, we could easily browse the Web using Google Chrome with dozens of tabs open in multiple windows, while listening to music streaming from Amazon Cloud Player. None of these readings exceeded our 95-degree comfort threshold.Ĭlick to EnlargeThanks to its 1.6-GHz Intel Core i5-4200U processor, 8GB of RAM and 500GB 5,400-rpm hard drive, the VAIO Flip 14 has enough power to handle everyday tasks with ease. The space between the G and H keys and the bottom of the notebook did not get much hotter, measuring a mere 87 degrees. After 15 minutes of streaming video, the clickpad registered a cool 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The VAIO Flip 14 stayed cool throughout our testing. The 4.2 x 2.6-inch touchpad performed smoothly, and gestures such as edge-swiping, two-finger scrolling and three-finger flick worked accurately. Moreover, the Flip 14 boasts one of the best clickpads we've seen on a thin and light notebook. On the positive side, we noticed virtually no keyboard flex as we wrote this review, and bright backlighting made typing in a dark room easy.

As a result, the audio sounds excellent even when using the notebook on your lap. Sony cleverly hid the speakers below the lip of the deck. Like many Ultrabook manufacturers, Sony decided to remove the speakers from the deck of the notebook to preserve the VAIO Flip 14's sleek, minimalist aesthetic - and to avoid muffling the speakers when the notebook is in tablet mode.

Using ArtRage Studio, a digital painting application, our penmanship using the stylus appeared remarkably similar to our handwriting on paper. In our tests, the stylus proved accurate and reliable, smoothly tracing our pen strokes across the screen. Unlike the Duo 13 and Tap 11, though, the pen is sold separately, and costs $39.

Watching a 1080p trailer for "Captain Phillips," we could easily make out the creases in Tom Hanks' face, and the brightly colored shipping crates on the Maersk Alabama contrasted sharply with the azure sea and sky.
