Overview
The Sony VAIO Flip 11 (also called Flip 11A or Flip 11N) are a series of mid-range notebooks released by Sony in February 2014. It is the last VAIO model announced by Sony, after which the VAIO brand was sold off to JIP.
Being the most portable of the Fit (SVF) Series, they have a 11.6" display with a 1920x1080 resolution.
Made mostly of metal and available in silver, black, and pink, their strengths are their portability, unique flip system, use of high-quality materials and the touchscreen.
Their Celeron or Pentium CPU and HD Graphics IGP were based on the same architecture as Atom of the same generation and tuned towards efficiency, sacrificing huge performance for low heat and low power consumption.
This device wasn't produced anymore after the warning that follows was published, so the most common versions of the Fit Series are the Fit 13, 14 and 15. It was reported that around 26,000 units were sold worldwide.
⚠️WARNING⚠️: Sony advised not to use these laptops because of the battery that had "potential to overheat resulting in partial burns to the housing of the PC", for more info, check out the official website: Sony Support link; later they started a free repair program still usable today, if the PC is affected: Sony Support link
