	The Sony VAIO Tap (SVT) was a laptop-tablet hybrid created by Sony in 2013 and was part of the last generation of Sony's VAIO range. It boasted good specs in a less than 10mm thick chassis, such as an Intel Pentium or Core i5, 4GB (Standard) or 8GB (Maximum) of RAM and a 256GB SSD or, in some models, a combination of HDD and SSD, to ~~maximise~~ storage with little performance being affected.

Its tablet functionality still obviously works fine and you can use to draw with its nice stylus and take notes of a lecture for example.
