Sony Vaio ~ Escape to the city with Ben O Donoghue

On December 11th [drove down 10th actually] I had to travel to Sydney to see my Breast cancer surgical oncologist for my six month review. It was all good news too.

Fortunately for me it coincided with the chance to see the Sony Vaio Tap 20 in action and meet celebrity chef Ben O’Donoghue, plus hang out with a few blogging buds.

One of my sons was receiving an award at the presentation day, so in fairness neither the Little Drummers accompanied me .I tagged onto Tina & Annabell's team.

The Grounds of Alexandria is like an escape to a secret garden oasis and I am going to take my boys and Hubby there soon.

The Sony Vaio Tap 20 had some amazing apps and I could see how much fun the kids (& adults) were having playing with the apps. I knew little about the Vaio, it looks like a PC screen , performs like a PC because it runs Windows 8  but you can use it like a 'huge' tablet. The touch screen is amazing or you  use the wireless keyboard and mouse. It comes with a built in web cam . The Sony Vaio is definitely top of the list when we next upgrade our computer.

The tablet was standing upright displaying the recipe, first up everyone was cooking pancakes.

Then barbecued peaches ...mmm.

 It made it so easy to view the recipe from any direction. The drawing and colouring app was a lot of fun. It can also be used flat on the floor for games. It is an awesome device.
