Product details

The exclusive Stabilizer Flap design enhances the stability of the device, which is a common issue with other two-in-one devices on the market. The tablet features a 12.5" multi-touch screen with Full HD resolution. When attached to the keyboard base with a built-in battery, the total weight is approximately 1.2 kg. When used with the connected keyboard, the battery life is extended to about 15 hours. The keyboard base includes a built-in fingerprint scanner and a variety of connectivity options, including HDMI, VGA, LAN, USB Type-A, an SD card reader, a security lock, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The A12's keyboard base can be wirelessly connected to the tablet (in selected configurations), significantly increasing flexibility in use.

    Geringes Gewicht, integriertes LTE-Modem und praktische Details wie die Aufstellkappe und zwei Entriegelungshebel: Vaio zeigt mit dem A12, dass man immer noch hochwertige und durchdachte Mobilgeräte bauen kann. Die Laufzeit fällt allerdings zu gering aus, denn die Konkurrenz schafft durch die Bank spürbar mehr – erst recht im ähnlichen Preissegment.
