At home anywhere.

Get ready for some hands-on, free-roving fun. The VAIO® Tap PC is like having your game room, movie collection, bookshelf and more all accessible on a take-anywhere 20" touchscreen. Surf the web, balance your budget, play games and more wherever you want—from bedroom to living room, VAIO Tap goes anyplace the action is. Designed with multiple users in mind, you can explore it on your own, or invite your friends and family to join in the fun.

Made to move.

Simply pick it up and carry it from room to room—no unplugging or shutting down necessary. Its multi-position stand lets you tilt your VAIO Tap to achieve the ideal angle for any activity. Just push down gently until the position is perfect. Lay it flat to play board games, or prop it up to watch a video. You can even hold it in your lap while sitting on the sofa.

Developed by the same people you trust to engineer incredible HDTVs, your movies and games will shine with exceptional HD picture quality. Equipped with BRAVIA® technology for noise reduction, contrast enhancement and more, you'll notice that images nearly pop off the screen with brightness and clarity. The generous 20" LCD is equipped with IPS (in-plane switching) for crisp visuals from any viewing angle. It's perfect when gathering around to watch a video with the whole gang.
