The front of the tablet has almost no branding besides the light colored silver logo in the upper left hand corner. The front of the unit houses a gorgeous 11.6 inch 1080p IPS display that is complemented by a beautiful edge to edge glass. The tablet itself feels as if it was designed with attention to almost every detail. All three pieces can be snapped together on the go, so there is no worry about losing that expensive stylus. There are multiple pieces to the unit including the tablet itself, a wireless keyboard, and a digitizer pen attachment. Unboxing Sony’s Vaio Tap 11 is like unraveling a piece of fine art. We hope more Windows 8 tablets are created in the image of the Tap 11 as it is a great deal starting at only $799. Its main competition will be the Surface Pro 2, and we might be siding with Sony on this unit. The Sony Vaio Tap 11 is the best Windows 8 tablet we have reviewed to date and is a guaranteed great experience for anyone who purchases it. Buttons around the edges can feel too recessed and hard to press.

Longer battery life would have been desired.

Includes apps are a nice touch and give the tablet software that makes it stand out. Display is beyond the description of mortal English – we will call it outstanding and amazing all at once. Keyboard works great and integrated charging with the tablet means you will never forget to charge it. Stylus works excellent and couples well with included “holder” attachment. Great design and external aesthetics make for an elegant machine.
