I dare say Sony's Vaio Pro 13 is everything you could want in an ultrabook. Until the MacBook Air gets a much-needed screen upgrade (when's that happening, Apple?), this svelte number from Sony is arguably the best ultralight money can buy.Let's start wit...

Thanks to its low weight of just 860 grams (~1.9 pounds) we called the 11-inch Vaio Pro 11 a "Delicate Butterfly" . The 13-inch sibling is just 200 grams (~0.44 pounds) heavier, which is enabled by the carbon fiber chassis . The Vaio 13 is also just 15 mm...

Thin-and-light laptops have always been an area in which Sony impresses, if not dominates. The company's Z-series pioneered many features over the years (like switchable graphics), and while that name has now been put to rest, its ideals are upheld by a s...

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...

There is no joy in the Sony Vaio Pro. For a laptop that is, in substance, elegant and powerful, that's strange. It's pretty and sleek and slim, but somehow with none of the joie de vivre that typically comes along with that.AdvertisementWhen the Vaio Pro...
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, Advertisement, Plus, the Vaio is etherial. It's basically...
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...
Probably not. But if you do, hell, youll probably enjoy it. The thing is theres nothing flatly wrong with the Vaio Pro, and a whole lot right. And if its super lightweight frame is enough to sway you—if you were born with hollow bones and can literally...

Perhaps the most obvious observation of this Sony VAIO Pro 13 Ultra is that, even with its installed OS configuration and bloatware, the speed of the M.2 SSD is identical to that expected of a brand new FOB (fresh out of box) XP941 A closer look at the s...
