three-two-one to see that right there
Jack you doubted us you doubted the
wrong guy guys uh we got the bio the
viral vaio laptop that was making waves
people are talking about how this crazy
little tiny little laptop was able to
pack in so many different ports and all
of a sudden you started hearing this
name that I hadn't heard in so long vile
well you didn't know this my very first
laptop violin yeah honestly yeah wait
like a hundred pounds oh yeah good for
you I had begged for it I said to my
parents I'm going to have a future in
this realm they were like no you're not
well we'll get you the laptop that's
back when viola was a part of Sony so a
quick history lesson here no longer a
part of Sony so let's go ahead and see
why everyone was talking about this guy
first things first
whoa you want give me a weight readout
on that will very light they tout it as
one point nine nine pounds one point
nine nine pounds and we'll he's used the
word touted today yeah so we just let's
put a little check mark if you were
waiting for that we have that now in the
episode something has been touted look
at this look at that it's a feather it's
making my x1 carbon feel heavy right now
that looks like an SD card slot it is
that is a USB a port that's a type C
port I see the Thunderbolt icon logo
next to it full size HDMI Ethernet jack
that's a VGA port I haven't seen those
in a while and we're not even done yet
we go to the other side now two more USB
a s and a headphone chetak it's all in a
thing is one point nine nine pounds one
thing this one has which my carbon does
not is an SD card reader and I use that
so this is even more versatile than that
haven't even opened it yet let's just
charge brick pretty portable that's for
sure and I just noticed it's also got
another USB a port on it nice little
touch and then the extension cable very
straightforward you know if you bought a
laptop
in 2006 five cardboard in all your life
accessories let's go you know I like
this this matte black kind of finish
does it get fingerprints not crazy
terrible but you know with any matte
finish it's a possibility
Oh Jack you cut that action boom you see
that natural kind of angle
ergonomic angle that happens there whew
the quick brown fox well the fox is
jumping hmm so as they do as the Fox
would it's close actually to a desktop
typing experience on a thin and ultra
portable laptop I could live
I could live it's not too loud I could
live I could breathe I could live eight
generation Intel processors it is a
twelve inch display so you can see
there's there's a bit of a forehead on
there there is a glimpse at the matte
display what's the resolution will 1920
by 1080 so it's 1920 by 1080 at 12
inches that should be fine you have a
decent facial density at the rings are
gonna be at here the price point it
starts around 1200 bucks so keep that in
mind it's for a person it's for a very
specific customers for somebody who
wants tons of versatility it's so tough
to put in perspective like I have uh I
have the iPad pro at home the small one
that things about a pound on its own
this is one point nine nine a MacBook
Air three pounds x1 carbon
two-and-a-half it's a half a pound
lighter than that it's making almost
anything in a laptop department feel
heavy to me at this point it has a
fingerprint scanner on it as well over
here it's right there I like how on a
keyboard they kept it simple even though
some of the keys had to shrink down like
the shift key over here on the left and
the directional keys they're all where
you expect them to be and there's enough
space around them to make sure you're
hitting the key that you want to hit the
trackpad even though it's small feels
pretty good
these buttons though I mean maybe if
you're looking for a click but it's a
pretty loud click on the button again
for me that's kind of a throwback they
managed to fit something important up
their little camera in that territory
I'm a little concerned about the speaker
performance on this thing you know it's
something that I would normally check
there's one thing I learned doing this
job Willie do you can't have it all no
you got to give you tape mm-hmm you plus
you - mm-hmm you have the appetizer you
skip the dessert you got to pay the
piper what does that mean by the way
who's the piper bear the consequences of
an action or activity that one has
enjoyed yeah you got to pay the piper
you got to give somewhere and it's
obvious they gave it a speaker
Department the display I could live with
it's actually this is a very bright
environment so it's got some decent
output so I think it's a cool little
package this one at 1,200 bucks puts it
in a particular price category was not
really a budget laptop but it's not as
premium as some of the specifications
I've looked at in the x1 Department it's
it finds itself somewhere in the middle
but if you just want like the lightest
thing you can get that you can carry
with you every day and never have to
worry about possibly interfacing with
some external peripheral I don't know
that there's anything else in this
territory will I can't remember I can't
recall look at how small that is so will
you help
look you have a MacBook Pro please tell
the people feel the difference feel the
rush
this is really like really really
deceiving ladies and gentlemen Willie do
