Archive.org versionBreaking new ground for a 13-inch touch-enabled Ultrabook the Sony Vaio Pro offers an incredibly light package but retains screen, keyboard and battery life quality that is often missing in this bracket. Sony slipped-up on WiFi reception quality though which really shouldn’t be this bad at this price-point. A gimmicky Ethernet router dongle doesn’t do much to help the situation. The WiFi issue will be a deal-breaker for many. It’s good to see a full HDMI port and a full SD card port though and if you’re working away from power the additional battery is going to allow up to about 18 hours of activity time. The Sony Vaio Pro 13 is a quality bit of engineering and a prime example of how small and efficient a Haswell-based Ultrabook can be.

If you are looking for an ultrabook, you can consider the Sony Vaio Pro 13 and you will get everything you expect from an ultrabook. In addition to a slim and lightweight design, the Sony Vaio Pro 13 is also reasonably priced to compete with MacBook Air. With a screen size of 13.3 inches, the Sony Vaio Pro 13 is about 0.2 kg lighter than the KIRAbook, Toshiba's pride today. Since it only weighs 1.06 kg and is only 18 mm thick, the Sony Vaio Pro 13 is easily one of the slimmest ultrabook available on the market. It features the latest Intel Haswell Core i5, 4GB RAM and 128GB SSD and so offers a solid performance without doubt. The Sony Vaio Pro 13 features 13.3-inch clear and crisp display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080. Its battery life is longer than most ultrabooks' available today. Sony claims that the Vaio Pro 13 has a battery life of about 6 hours of video playback on a full screen.
Unfortunately, the Sony Vaio Pro 13 only comes with integrated graphics. So, the graphics performance is less impressive and it is unable to run demanding games. Otherwise, there are not too many shortcomings. In short, it can be considered as a perfect ultrabook for those who want portability yet without sacrificing processing power. The Sony Vaio Pro 13 seems like a good choice for its price.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
