Sony VAIO Pro 13: Exceptionally Portable
Source: AnandTech Archive.org version
What makes for a good laptop is going to be a somewhat subjective discussion. Some users want high performance, others want the ability to play games, and some want excellent mobility – meaning, good battery life and low weight. The Sony VAIO Pro 13 falls firmly in that last category, with some of the best battery life results we've ever seen – especially for a Windows laptop.

WIRED Record-setting boot time. Fast, bug-free operation. Epic battery life. Incredibly thin and light. TIRED Screen is a bit wobbly, a problem when using touch. A bit noisy. Way too much Sonyware pre-installed (which, among other things, breaks Windows system recovery).

The Sony VAIO Pro 13 shows that you can make laptops lighter and thinner when you use a fourth-generation Intel Core processor. It's very good, though Sony really needs a grand slam to distance itself from similar rivals.

Comment

Model:

The Sony Vaio Pro SVP1321L1EBI.G4 is a 13.3 inches device with a height of just 18 mm. Weighing in at just 1 kg, it is also one of the lightest laptops of this size. The body is made from black carbon fiber with dark brushed metal on the palm rests. The rear side is pushed and brings the keyboard in a angle more comfortable for typing. The Sony Vaio Pro SVP1321L1EBI.G4 shines in many aspects. The battery life of 6 hours of heavy usage is above other similar machines' out there at the moment.

Under the hood, is the 1.6 GHz Core i5 Haswell processor with 4GB of RAM and the 128 GB SSD. Performance will suite a mid-range user with these specs. Booting into Windows 8 is suggested to take about 9 seconds, which belongs to the fastest Windows 8 boot times. The display has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, but the Sony Vaio Pro SVP1321L1EBI.G4 is equipped with integrated graphics. To sum it all up, this laptop provides reasonable hardware and a touchscreen functions to match Windows 8, but it is not cheap. It might be an alternative to other Windows 8 laptops but fails to provide strong pros for possible buyers.
