Abstract: I've got a Sony VAIO Pro 13 here thanks to Intel. It's the lightest touch-enabled 13.3-inch Ultrabook there is and at 1KG / 2.2 pounds it beats all of the the 2-in-1 options. This isn't a cheap subnotebook but it's got enough power to be a desktop PC for ...

Screen is a bit wobbly, a problem when using touch. A bit noisy. Way too much Sonyware preinstalled (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....
