Expert review by : Michael Sawh (trustedreviews.com)
It's the lightest 13-inch ultrabook in the world, but is it the best?
Incredibly light ; Class-leading screen ; Comfortable keyboard
Battery life short of MacBook Air ; Temperamental touchpad
Viewing angles are particularly wide thanks to the IPS display tech, however the glossy finish on the screen does mean it suffers from severe reflections in sunlight and the odd finger smudge or two. Sony has also included its X-Reality mobile picture...

Sony sticks with a clamshell format for its latest touchscreen Ultrabook to deliver something special
Fantastic touchscreen ; Beautiful keyboard ; Negligible weight ; Excellent battery life
Hybrid format still icky ; Average gaming performance
A fantastic touchscreen Windows 8 laptop that reinvigorates the clamshell design and packs in the power without sacrificing portability.
Expert review by : Cliff Joseph (techadvisor.co.uk)
The cheapest version of the Vaio Pro 13 costs £859 and you get a Core i5 processor running at 1.6GHz. You don't get a touchscreen, either.
The Vaio Pro may fall short in some areas, but that’s only because it aims so high. Its weight and size are truly impressive, and bode well for the coming generation of Haswell laptops. However, the flexible carbon fibre doesn’t instill confidence and...
Expert review by : Alfred Siew (techgoondu.com)
It offers a great balance of the three things I was seeking - a lightweight machine, a great keyboard to type on and a sharp screen offering at least a Full HD resolution.
Expert review by : Laptops.co.uk (laptops.co.uk)
The Sony Vaio 13 packs a seriously powerful 4th generation Intel Core processor and includes the gorgeous Triluminous display. In short the Sony Vaio Pro 13.3" Touchscreen Ultrabook is a portable performance powerhouse.
Great battery life, Thin, Ultra lightweight, NFC enabled touchpad, Backlit keyboard, Brilliant performance
Can become rather expensive, Non removable battery, Max of 8 GB RAM
Expert review by : IT PRO (itpro.co.uk)
With a stunning 13in full HD touchscreen, is this ultra-light 1kg machine a potential best friend for business users?
Stunning touchscreen, Extremely light, Excellent battery life
Feels flimsy, Typical Ultrabook performance

We take a look at Sony's answer to the Lenovo X1 Carbon Thinkpad
Our initial tests suggest that the Sony Vaio Pro 13 is a decent ultrabook, offering business users a solidly built yet surprisingly light powerhouse Windows 8 laptop. However, Sony hasn't mentioned how much the Vaio Pro 13 will cost when it comes out...

A laptop PC that really challenges Apple's MacBook Air - Matt Warman welcomes a valiant attempt.
Expert review by : Elias Plastiras (goodgearguide.com.au)
Sony's VAIO Pro 13 has a touchscreen, but it's still one of the lightest Ultrabooks on the Aussie market today
Very thin and light ; Excellent screen ; Full-sized SD card slot and HDMI ; Very fast storage performance
A little noisy ; Touchpad isn't great ; Doesn't have Intel HD 5000 graphics
The Sony VAIO Pro is a great Ultrabook to consider if you want something very light, easy to carry, yet comfortable to use and with good performance for common tasks. It even has a touchscreen.
Expert review by : Matt Smith (digitaltrends.com)
Sony's Vaio Pro 13 is extremely light and offers all-day battery life, but it doesn't offer the feeling of luxury that its price tag implies.
The Sony Vaio Pro 13 is emblematic of Sony’s new approach to product design. By using technologies from multiple divisions, and focusing on technical excellence, the company has crafted an Ultrabook that’s extremely thin and light, yet also offers...
