Family Travels with the Sony VAIO Tap 20
I participated in this Sony/Intel sponsored post with Burst Media, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
We are avid travelers in this family. We hop in the car, we get on a plane, we have even taken trains because we just love to get out and see the world.
We have traveled extensively around the East Coast, a lot in Florida, especially. We have also traveled in Europe as well.
This summer we just took our first road trip. We all hopped in the car to go see my grandmother. Sony asked me to take my VAIO Tap 20 along and while at first, I thought that it might be a little too large, it was actually perfect for my children during the 6 hour car ride.
What makes the Sony VAIO Tap 20 perfect for travel is the easy, unplugged portability. My kids could keep drawing from the office right to the car with this battery-powered All-in-One PC. In the car, the 20-inch touch screen is converted to lie flat making it easy for all three kids to play.
You can tell from the pictures, that there is crisp, clear imagery plus wide angle panel enable viewing at many angles.
The Tap 20 can also move easily around your house. With a removable battery, users can easily move it from room to room in the house; for example, it can lay flat on a coffee table for the whole family to play games on the large screen or can stand upright and use it as a fully functioning desktop PC with the wireless keyboard and mouse.
It really is very portable and very easy to use. My six year old was the one who picked it up first. She is trying to claim it as her own but we all share the computer and in many rooms of the house. I am obsessed with the portability and I love that I can take my Tap 20 anywhere!

This product does show innovative approach to technology. I would love to have one.
I don’t have a Sony laptop but have read great things about them. It looks really nice!
Man that is a huge tablet(?)! I think I might even be able to read on it.
Wow look how BIG it is!! That is awesome! My girls would love that!
OK that thing is awesome! I love that the screen is so big that multiple kids can be looking at it at the same time. I want one. 🙂
This looks like a great product.
Wow! I am going to have to put this on my Christmas Wish List! 🙂 I know my kids would love it as well!
Holy cow that thing is huge!! That would be great to watch movies on the go, though!
This is so cool! My kids would have loved that. I’m thinking Christmas for my nieces!

My kids would love this, the 20in screen is enough to keep them engage.
Wow. It’s very large, which would actually be great for me. Since I’ve ummm turned 40, my eyes aren’t quite what they were before.
Very cool! I need one!
I need something like this on our 14-16 hour trip. My kids would flip!
I want one! That looks really nice! We could really use another laptop with all three kids in school.
