On the surface
A whole lot. The display is lovely
The battery life is top notch
And the keyboard and trackpad won't piss you off every 15 seconds
Which is surprisingly hard to find these days

The editors didn't like
It's hard to put a finger on anything specific. That's a good sign
But also indicative of the nagging feeling that while this is a very nice computer to use
It won't really feel like one of the nicest things you own. There's no shame in that
But for a
Sharp front corners
Poor webcam
Bottom runs hot and occasional fan noise
The Pro 13
Like its competition
Has a nonremovable battery (though you can add an external battery)
Few ports and connections
And integrated graphics only. Memory maxes out at 8GB
Inherent flex in carbon fiber and aluminum design is disconcerting to some
Hinge has a bit of wobble
Chassis flexes slightly
Whiny fan
Could use more SSD storage. Some keyboard flex. Insistent fan. Back edge of lid can dig into your legs. Very good
But not great
Battery life
Single-band 802.11n Wi-Fi adapter (2.4GHz)
Enough real estate for only two USB ports
Flat keys
Feels less expensive than it is
Limited connectivity
Frustrating touchpad
So-so processor performance
Screen is a bit wobbly
A problem when using touch. A bit noisy. Way too much Sonyware preinstalled (which
looks awesome and unique, weigh only 2.4 pounds, sports a very good touchcreen and a comfortable keyboard; snappy everyday performances; long battery life; loud and clear sound system
too flexible, pointy corners, annoying glass on top of the screen, not the best trackpad, can get noisy when pushed
The Sony Vaio Pro 13 is an awesome ultrabook, with an angular design and a 2.4 lbs light body. Powered by an Intel Haswell platform, sporting a touchscreen and a very good keyboard, the Pro 13 is definitely something to look at these days. If only it were...

The design is great, the display is fantastic and it is ridiculously thin and light, What's not?, The fan is pretty noisy, it warms up a fair bit and the pricetag is pretty high, The bottom line:, If you're looking for a goodlooking, solidperforming Windo
The fan is pretty noisy, it warms up a fair bit and the pricetag is pretty high, The bottom line:, If you're looking for a goodlooking, solidperforming Windows 8 touchscreen laptop that won't weigh you down when you're out and about look no further

Abstract: A 1KG Ultrabook is an engineering feat. The Toshiba Z830 , at 1.1KG still surprises 2 years after launch. Since then though we haven't seen many attempt to break the 2.2 pound mark. Only the NEC LaVie Z , an expensive Asia-only model, and the almost unkno...

Very light and thin, Speedy performance from SSD, Bright and clear full HD touchscreen
Could use more SSD storage, Some keyboard flex, Fan gets somewhat noisy under load
The Sony Vaio Pro 13 runs neck and neck with some other very good to excellent Ultrabooks, and that's the problem. It needed to be much better than rivals to pull ahead of the pack. The fourth-generation Intel Core CPU teased us with the promise of a muc...
Processor, Battery life (6 hrs 40 min), Weight (1.05 kg), Outstanding screen, Great sound
Overheating (up to 48°C/118°F), Low gaming capabilities
The Sony Vaio Pro 13 is an excellent Windows 8 alternative to the Apple MacBook Air 13". It's ultra-light and has a superb screen, tons of processing power, great sound quality and over 6½ hours of battery life. It's a device capable of quenching the thir...
If this were $250 less... When it comes to design, the Sony VAIO Pro 13 is a clear winner. Its carbon fiber construction exudes style, plus whatever bag you toss it into won't weigh you down. If only I could heap praise upon all aspects of the Pro 13,...
Can become rather expensive, Non removable battery, Max of 8 GB RAM
When it comes down to it the Sony Vaio Pro 13 is a superthin and light ultrabook with an amazingly long battery life. The Sony Vaio Pro really is a prime example of what's possible with Intel's fourth-gen Core i-series processors and offers a great Windo...

Stunning touchscreen; Extremely light; Excellent battery life
Feels flimsy; Typical Ultrabook performance
Sony has crammed one of the best touchscreens we've seen inside its lightweight, slimline Vaio Pro Ultrabook. The 1kg device also has a sleek design, lengthy battery life and decent performance. It's not the strongest of laptops, but it's ideal if you wa...
