VAIO Corp. has released high performance business laptops featuring the 10th Generation Intel Core U Processor Line.

The new VAIO SX12 and VAIO SX14 laptops have evolved not only in performance but also in many ways including function and design such as the expansion of security solutions including face authentication support and the release of a RED EDITION as a limited production model and an "ALL BLACK EDITION" and “BROWN EDITION” as premium models.

Both models are equipped with VAIO's tuning "VAIO TruePerformance" that incorporates the technology that VAIO has cultivated over the years to maximize the performance of the processor.

The new 2020 models are crafted with a more detailed tuning of the system's heat radiation design as compared to the previous model so that the maximum performance of 6 cores with 12 threads can be fully utilized. As a result, an improvement in performance of up to 40% in the Core i7 model was realized when VAIO TruePerformance is applied.

Face authentication as a biometric authentication method compatible with Windows Hello is now supported. This makes it possible to log in instantly using either of two methods: fingerprint authentication by simply placing a finger on the sensor, or face authentication that automatically recognizes the user's face with the built-in camera.

The RED EDITION model, which was released in limited quantities in the summer of 2018, will be coming back in January 2020. The RED EDITION is a limited edition that focuses on VAIO's ideal "red," such as a red top panel expressed through a three-layer coating process and a red palm rest that takes time and effort to polish and dye.

Main features common to both VAIO SX12 and VAIO SX14 models

• In addition to the 4K output compatible HDMI terminal, VGA terminal (analog RGB output terminal), and wired LAN terminal, it also has the latest standard multi-interface terminal, USB Type-C.
• With USB Type-C equipped, in addition to the bundled AC adapter (quick charge compatible), the models support charging from a 5V charger (5V assist charging). A Power Delivery compatible charger is also supported.
