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

Light, powerful, great looking, best keyboard we've used, fantastic screen and great sound, sensibly price in comparison with competition
Loudish fan in high load periods, comes with a load of rubbish software including the will-destroying McAfee
What can we say Sony, it worked. Within seconds of picking up the Pro we'd fallen in love with it. It's stylish, thin and light. The screen is gorgeous, and the touch control works. It has just about the best keyboard we've used on a laptop, and in...
Battery life short of MacBook Air, Temperamental touchpad
What is the Sony Vaio Pro 13? The Sony Vaio Pro 13 is the world's lightest 13-inch ultrabook, at least that's Sony's claims. Bag-friendly credentials aside, the Pro 13 has a fourth generation Intel Haswell processor and a full HD touchscreen display, whic...
