VAIO Corporation (/ˈvaɪ.oʊ/, standing for Visual Audio Intelligent Organizer) is a manufacturer of personal computers. VAIO was originally a brand of Sony Corporation, introduced in 1996. Sony sold its PC business to the investment firm Japan Industrial Partners in February 2014 as part of a restructuring of the corporation to focus on mobile devices. Sony maintains a minority stake in the new, independent company, which currently sells computers in USA, Japan, and Brazil. Sony also has an exclusive marketing agreement with VAIO Corporation.
Originally an acronym of Video Audio Integrated Operation, this was amended to Visual Audio Intelligent Organizer in 2008 to celebrate the brand's 10th anniversary. The logo concept was created by Teiyu Goto, supervisor of product design from the Sony Creative Center in Tokyo. He incorporated many meanings into the logo and acronym: the pronunciation is similar to "bio", which is symbolic of life and the product's future evolution; it's also near "violet", which is why most early Vaios were purple or included purple components. Additionally, the logo is stylized to make the "VA" look like a sine wave and the "IO" like binary digits 1 and 0, the combination representing the merging of analog and digital signals. The sound some Vaio models make when starting up is derived from the melody created when pressing a telephone keypad to spell the letters V-A-I-O.

Lisa Gade reviews the Vaio Z (flip), the second Vaio model to come to the US from the newly owned company.

The Vaio Z turns the 2-in-1 concept on its head, and the Vaio S practically begs to be bent.

Lisa Gade reviews the Vaio Z Canvas, a powerhouse Windows 10 Pro 12.3” tablet/ 2-in-1 convertible with an N-Trig pen, wide color gamut display and a quad core i7 CPU. The spirit of Sony is back in the new Vaio company with their flagship Windows convertible that’s the fastest and most port-endowed on the market. The Z Canvas is a marvel of engineering and design, and it has a price tag to match. It’s a high end product that competes with higher end MS Surface Book configurations and even laptops like the 15” Retina MacBook Pro. It has a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7-4770HQ quad core CPU with Turbo Boost to 3.4 GHz and Intel Iris Pro 5200 (GT3) graphics. It’s available with 8 or 16 gigs of RAM and a variety of fast SSD drives.

I'm only human
of flesh and blood, I'm made
Human ... born to make mistakes
[Chorus:]
If 5 boys in da house say it loud
If 5 boys in da house check it out [2x]
Come on baby dry your eyes, wipe your tears
Never like to see you cry, please forgive me
I wouldn't ever try to hurt you
I just needed someone to hold me
To fill the void while you were gone
to fill this space of emptiness
[Chorus]
When I lay upon my bed reminisce then I wish
that I got you by my side with the cherry red kiss
hit me off make it soft hold me tight through the night
You know I'm gonna fight cos the thing we had was right
But if you go all I know I can't go a day without you
Here in my arms hypnotized with your charms now
I'm feeling for you baby ain't you hearing the alarms
You can't stop all the love that I got
Wanna rewind time to better days that were hot check it
bring back the better days for me baby
You gotta bring em back cos I'm going crazy
I go insane with your name up in my brain
Things will never be the same you ain't up in my frame
So what you gonna do what you gonna say
Tell me that you're gonna push your loving back my way
[Chorus]
