I’m not usually a fan of hybrids
but this Sony’s release caught my attention. It has been quite a while since
Sony sits atop as the best laptop/netbook brand with its Vaio series. Now, the
Japanese giant makes a Sony VAIO Duo 11 release to regain momentum using the latest Windows 8. This device is a hybrid
ultrabook with sliding LCD display that switches between a tablet and an ultrabook with keyboard
mode.
The new Sony Surf Slider design
is the interesting feature of this hybrid. It makes you use the tablet mode for
you to surf the internet and use apps. You can also slide it to reveal the
keyboard underneath in order for you to work on your documents or whenever you
feel like using a physical keyboard.
Tablet has 11.6-inch screen with 1920 x 1080 with OptiContrast Panel touchscreen. The tablet also reminds me of the Galaxy Note which has its own stylus for scribing notes and drawing stuff directly in the screen. Sony called it the Digitizer. The device runs in Intel Core i5 with 4GB of RAM.
This will be launched in the 26th
with a price tag of Php 69,999.
