Not long ago, Sony Vaio desktop and laptop computers were extremely popular among their users. According to Tech Radar, after having changed hands, Vaio is again returning to the United States and this time a much smaller tech company will offer the devices.

Latin Post reports that Vaio Computers, now being made by Japan Industrial Partners, announced two new computers in February. In a statement issued by the company, Vaio said they would offer a 13.3-inch hybrid Ultrabook and a 12.1-inch convertible tablet. The 12.1-inch convertible tablet named the Z-Canvas will be released to U.S. retailers this fall.

The tablet and PC hybrid will sport a screen resolution of 2,560 x 1,704 on its 12.1-inch display. Under the hood, the device will be powered by a 5th generation Intel Core i7 processor. The device will cost $2,199. According to the company, the Vaio Z Canvas will be available online as well as at Microsoft Stores nationwide from Oct. 5. The company will be receiving preorders for the tab-PC combo device from mid-September.

In addition, the Vaio brand will also commence selling its products in Brazil soon. The company is yet to reveal its plans regarding other products, especially the 13.3-inch Vaio Z Ultrabook. Therefore, it is not known whether the 13.3-inch Vaio Z Ultrabook will be sold in the U.S.

According to the report, while Vaio has always been an expensive product, it now seems that the brand is targeting a small group of individuals that demand premium computers. Henceforth, Vaio will cater to creative professionals such as graphic designers and photographers, who would generally use Apple computers for their jobs.

Vaio CEO Yoshimi Ota recently told the Wall Street Journal that his company is not interested in manufacturing inexpensive models for everyone. Instead, they want to create a product with premium specifications for high-end users.

In addition to bringing back Vaio computers, the company would want to start developing wearable devices, communication devices, factory-automation machines and even robots.
