The Sony Vaio Tap 20 is certainly fit for purpose - as an overweight tablet and as a touchable all-in-one PC - in the sense that it's built solidly, with a versatile metal kickstand and the usual unspectacular but functional wireless accessories bundled in the box. We should make a quick mention here of the mouse: Sony apparently builds mice for strange alien claws rather than human hands.

We suppose it's a way to get people touching that screen. It's relatively rugged, as far as this kind of machine goes, with a drop sensor and a splash-proof screen, and while there's no Gorilla Glass toughness it should be sturdy enough to withstand the rigours of family use. Once you switch it on, it becomes apparent that the Sony Vaio Tap 20 has a few chinks in its armour. Let's start with the screen, a paltry 1600 x 900 panel stretched out to 20 inches, with a pixel density that immediately induced a headache.

As soon as we reached touchscreen distance - and we have particularly long arms - that heavily pixellated panel became a bother, making the touch element of the Sony Vaio Tap 20 difficult to use, at least for us. You might not have the same trouble, but that doesn't mean a Full HD 1080p panel shouldn't have been included - it absolutely should.

Corners have been cut compared to other all-in-one machines of the same price. To the Sony Vaio Tap 20's credit we found the capacitive 10-finger sensor to be absolutely fine, and the viewing angle of the screen - while not exactly world-beating - adequate for just about every task you might throw at it, whether stood on the kickstand or, excitingly, laid flat on a surface. Another corner has been cut at the top of the screen, where the webcam resides. It has a paltry resolution of 1MP (or 0.9MP if you're using it at the same 16:9 aspect ratio as the screen) and produces mucky, washed out images.

This is far from brilliant, considering that the curvature of the case will make clipping on a replacement quite difficult. Sony deserves a lot of credit for leaving that case relatively open, though. Pulling off the panel at the back of the unit reveals the battery, memory slots and more, all ripe for upgrading. This is important because Sony isn't, at this point, offering any kind of configuration options in the UK or Australia. It's Core i5, 6GB RAM or nothing in the UK.

In Australia you may only buy a Core i5 4GB RAM option. In the US, you can buy the Core i5 4GB RAM model or upgrade to a Core i7 8GB RAM version for $1,199.99. We might also have secured that panel slightly, given that the Sony Vaio Tap 20 is the sort of machine that will end up in the hands of kids and it's only secured with plastic pegs in rubberised holes. Realistically the youngsters won't be lifting its 5kg bulk up very much, though.

Bluetooth connections allow devices to connect without the use of wires or cables. Some users of the Sony Vaio laptop computer have encountered problems with the connection of Bluetooth devices with their computer. The problem lies with turning on the Vaio's Bluetooth function. This is turned on through the computer's Wireless Switch Settings manager. The icon for this is in the system tray in the taskbar when the computer is first purchased. Double-click the 'Wireless Switch Settings' icon in the system tray of the taskbar.

It is a a blue-green icon with 'LAN' in one corner and 'B' in the other. Check the 'Enable Bluetooth Device' setting in the Bluetooth Device section.

If the device was already enabled, change the wireless LAN from '2.4GHz' to '5GHz' because, as the warning message should say, using the 2.4GHz wireless LAN and the Bluetooth device can make the connection unstable. Click the 'Apply' button after the appropriate boxes are checked to activate the Bluetooth signal.

A blue light should come on near the computer's on/off switch for the Wi-Fi radio. Another dialog box should appear explaining that the Wireless Switch Settings icon should now be in the taskbar. Use this icon if you need to turn off or on the Bluetooth device in the future.

Sony support Answered on Apr 15, 2014. The tap 20 is new and uses a proprietary screen, you should be covered under SONY's 24 month warranty. SONY has not released tap 20 replacement screens to OEMs yet. At least my repair shop cannot order them. You will probably have to go through SONY for at least a few more months. Even big shops like Best Buy must send them out to SONY. Even when they do release them, the only way to replace the screen is to clip the warranty sticker behind the storage drive in the back, which voids any warranty you may have.

If you don't take it to a SONY authorized shop, you will lose your warranty. Answered on Dec 01, 2013. You can remove or change the Window's User or administrator's password. You need access to a computer with Internet access to download the Hiren's Boot CD and burn it onto a CD.
