This was the smaller version of the Flip 15, featuring similar internals and looks but lacking the NVIDIA GPU and using a 14" display.

	The VAIO Flip 14 used a very interesting design compared to other 2-in-1 laptops of the time, where the screen would flip over along a central hinge to allow it to be used as a tablet, hence the name of the laptop. This also had the effect of being able to prop up the screen at an angle, by flipping it partially, which made it ideal for watching movies.

	The Flip 14 is still a very usable laptop for daily tasks, and will run Windows 11 with ease. However, do expect some fan noise as these ran very hot from the factory, just like the Pro 13. Due to the integrated graphics and limited dual core CPU, these won't run more complex tasks or games, however they are suitable for word processing, web browsing and even some older games. We recommend upgrading to the maximum of 8GB RAM, as well as upgrading to an SSD to make the most of the laptop. One common issue with the Flip 14 as well as the Flip 15 is that the internal screen cable fails due to wear from flipping the laptop over. This can result in lines on the screen and sometimes no picture at all, the only easy way to fix this is to replace the display midframe, as the flex cable is built into the mechanism and is very complicated to remove.

When buying these machines, the pen is often not included as they get lost easily and unfortunately the VGP-STD2 pens are quite expensive used. A cheap alternative is any N-trig compatible pen (e.g Surface tablet pens), an ASUS pen was tested on the Flip 14 and it worked, including the buttons and pressure sensitivity as the VGP-STD2 uses N-trig technology.
