"Unlike the higher-end Vaio SX series, the super-thin Vaio Z series, or the tablet Vaio A series, the Vaio FE series is a budget to midrange option for a wider market appeal. The FE series currently comes in 14.1-inch FE14 and 15.6-inch FE15 models to choose from."

From same review:

"As for the processor, the Core i5-1235U performs so closely to the Core i5-1135G7 that buyers can save money by opting for the last generation CPU configuration and not lose out on any significant performance gains. Otherwise, we recommend considering the much faster Core i7-1255U configuration instead if a 12th gen CPU is a must."

No, but it seems that the ODM which makes the gateway laptop chassis, is also making this vaio chassis. They are incredibly similar.

It's the same laptop; BK suffix is black, SL is silver.

That doesn't really make any sense, the i5-1235u and i7-1255u are both 2 p-core 8 e-core parts and should perform similarly. If performance is needed you'd need to go to the p-series ie i5-1240p or i7-1260p for 4 p-cores, however there is a significant tradeoff in battery life.

I thought the same thing. Jumping from 11th- to 12th-gen had its disadvantages in thermals and battery life, but I've never heard a reviewer or a user complain 12th-gen CPU's were not outperforming 11th-gen.

Same price in stores, if you'd rather buy it from the store.

Hard to beat that OLED asus for $500 last month on newegg. It had only 8gb of ram but you can throw another 8gb in there for $11.99. Going to upgrade one for me friend next week.
