I bought VAIO SX14 for about 320,000 yen.Why did PC Watch reporters buy VAIO notebooks in a row?
Nice to meet you VAIO
手前が第4世代のVAIO SX14、奥は第2世代のVAIO SX14。ともに筆者の私物だI am an editor on PC Watch.Because you are an employee, you can buy a PC for expenses, but of course there is no ceiling.I can't do my own because it's a company's own, so I've bought a PC for work on my own.This is because it is acceptable to use personal PCs in the company.
As mentioned at the beginning, I have a second -generation VAIO SX14, two generations ago.So it's a two -car purchase.However, he is not an enthusiastic VAIO fan.This is because in the long history of VAIO since the Sony era, the first VAIO I bought was the second generation VAIO SX14, and this is the second generation of VAIO SX14 this time.
In the past, I was a member of my own PC -based editorial department, so I was not particular about PC manufacturers in the first place.For this reason, he used a laptop of a manufacturer with a red pop on the keyboard that many people used around.
The reason why we decided to shift to VAIO was that it was difficult to buy an English keyboard model from the red -pacch manufacturer.I'm an English keyboard loyal.
VAIO SX14の英語キーボードPreviously, when ordering from the manufacturer, the English keyboard was selected by customization, but the options were reduced.Even now, some models can be selected, but at that time I remember that I couldn't do it with the model I wanted to buy.
After that, I gave up and purchased a notebook PC on the Japanese keyboard.However, although it has been operated for almost two years, it was said that if I used an external English keyboard, it was easier to hit this one.
The arrangement of symbols is set, such as ": (colon)" and "; (semicolon)", "-(hyphen)" and "_ (under bar)", for the keyboard of the English layout.It's easy to understand.And because the number of keys is small, there is no irregular key that is forced to diet that is common in mobile notebooks on Japanese keyboards.
For that reason, the layout is straightforward, so it is easy to hit, and if you change to another notebook PC, the layout changes slightly, and there are frequent mistakes until you get used to it.So, the next notebook PC I wanted to return to an English array without stress.
Manufacturers in Japan have English arrangement keyboards very limited.And not all of the sales models have English arrays.It is possible to change the manufacturer and model each time and walk, but it is a PC that is used hard at work.I want to choose a reliable one for mobile.
In that case, you must be a manufacturer that continues to provide English keyboards with the same model.VAIO is a business notebook, and has a flagship machine like VAIO Z, and an English sequence model, which is a mainstream machine like VAIO SX12/SX14.So we arrived in VAIO.That was the second generation VAIO SX14 purchased in 2020.
In domestic notebook PCs, it is an English sequence keyboard that is close to endangered species, but it is very wasteful to spend days without knowing this ease of use.If you feel cramped or wasteful in the Japanese array, you should try using an English sequence because you can try it out on an external keyboard.If you do not need a kana input, you will surely improve the input operation.
