Why was the Vaio discontinued?

After a long struggle and growing losses, Sony decided to sell off its loss making Vaio PC brand to a Japanese investment fund in 2014. Tokyo-based investment fund Japan Industrial Partners (JIP) said it will operate the Vaio PC brand under a newly established company and initially sell Vaio-branded PCs in Japan only.

Do they still make Sony Vaio laptops?

Vaio Corp. has slowly resumed producing laptops with the familiar brand name, including the Vaio SX14 that ZDNet's Cliff Joseph reviewed when it launched in 2019 and has remained in production. Like Sony's versions, the new Vaio notebooks feature attractive designs, solid features, and high-end price tags.
