Fit 14A Dynamic Presentation effect

For a product, the appearance is its good and bad, beautiful and ugly the most intuitive embodiment. Excellent appearance design can give people a good initial impression, SONY VAIO Fit 14A is undoubtedly such a product. Overall appearance, SONY VAIO Fit 14A still continues the family style design, the whole body using all-metal design, giving a simple and crisp feeling and the use of metal wire drawing process more prominent external texture. Similar to the Acer Aspire R7 design concept, the Sony fit 14A uses a rotating shaft in the middle of the screen A to turn the screen part upside down, allowing the notebook to become a tablet, enabling the conversion of notebook mode, viewing mode, and tablet mode.

The following author focuses on the Sony VAIO Fit 14A three modes:

Notebook mode

This is our most familiar work state, is also our most often contact with the use of a state, and the ordinary traditional notebook operation is completely consistent. It is more suitable to be placed on a flat table or on a lap. Everyday involves tapping text, making forms, chatting and texting, composing emails, and other things that need to be created, and some of the entertainment is done in this mode.

　　Tablet PC mode

If you want to switch the Sony VAIO Fit 14A to tablet mode, you need to turn the display lock on the bottom of the screen, otherwise you can't turn the screen, which is also to ensure the normal operation in laptop mode, the magnet behind the screen can also play a solid role.

　　Flip the screen switch lock

When turning the screen, it is important to note that due to the presence of a magnet at the back of the screen, a little effort is needed to start turning the screen. After the screen is rotated, close the screen Sony VAIO Fit 14A becomes a large tablet. Proud of the resolution of the display 1920x1080, SONY VAIO Fit 14A screen display is very delicate, touch response fast, hard-faced screen design is also very high-grade but the shortcomings are obvious-more prone to fingerprints. Like most tablets. The Sony VAIO fit 14A can be rotated by a built-in gravity sensor, but after it becomes a flat plate, the Sony VAIO fit 14A can only be placed on the desktop or on the legs, due to its large size and uneven weight distribution.

　　viewing mode

is a pattern in the middle of the notebook and tablet mode, the screen is flipped over, to maintain the mode of standing, unlike the notebook mode is the screen flipped to a side, so that can be easily demonstrated, or do not need to use the keyboard for processing files, video, and touch games.

And the magnets on the back also help to fix the screen.

As the saying goes: "Good horse with good saddle." Since the appearance is so outstanding, if not worthy of an equally outstanding keyboard is not justified. The keyboard aspect of Sony VAIO Fit 14A uses a flat island keyboard, accompanied by a white backlight design, due to the independent design of the keyboard, not nail, so it is particularly suitable for text entry and writing documents, but due to too short a key and the trigger pressure is too low, this keyboard is not suitable for playing games. But from the presentation, this keyboard is really good.

In addition to using a large area of metal to foil the Fit 14A texture, Sony VAIO's ultra-thin body design also makes Sony VAIO Fit 14A Look even more avant-garde.

In the fuselage of the work, Sony also under a great effort, first magnesium aluminum alloy material of the top cover edge are chamfered treatment, but not smooth enough, grip in hand will always produce a touch. The d side of the SONY VAIO Fit 14A is made of plastic and has a matte finish on the surface, giving it a good texture and excellent abrasion resistance. In order to ensure the stability of the notebook placement, the body base of the front of the use of the plastic foot pad, can provide greater adhesion to the notebook.

The SONY VAIO Fit 14A machine has only 3 LEDs and, from left to right, turns on the power led, the hard drive light, and the battery power indicator. When the notebook is turned on, all the LEDs will light up, very beautiful.
