VAIO's port-loaded 12-inch laptop goes on sale in the US

There's no shortage of connectivity options here.

Following its launch in Japan, VAIO's small but mighty SX12 -- which offers just about every conceivable I/O you could ever want -- is now available in the US. Its starting price of $1,119 means this isn't a cheap deal, but how could it be when such a diminutive 12-inch model somehow crams in three USB-A ports, one USB-C port, a HDMI port, a full-sized SD card slot, a headphone/mic port, an Ethernet port and even a VGA port. Got literally anything to plug in to something? This'll do it.

On top of that, the entry-level model also comes with a U-series Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Or at the top end of things, you could part with $2,119 for a limited color model with an i7 processor, 16GB of RAM and a hefty 1TB SSD. And somehow, it all weighs in at just under two pounds.
