Sony debuts VAIO Pro World’s Lightest Ultrabook – Jun 05, 2013– Detroit, USA  (Techreleased) – You’re ready to tackle any challenge with VAIO^® Pro 11/13 – the world’s lightest touch capable Ultrabook™ that’s made for life on the go.

Sony VAIO Pro

Available in travel-friendly 29.4cm (11.6”) and 33.7cm (13.3”) screen sizes, VAIO^® Pro is ready to unleash the intuitive power of Windows 8 throughout the busy working day. By using uni-direction carbon fibre throughout the case, the touch enabled VAIO_® Pro 11 achieves the light weight of 0.870 kg (approx.) and the touch enabled VAIO_® Pro 13 achieves a weight of only 1.060 kg (approx.). Its distinctive Hexa-shell design provides VAIO® Pro 13/11 with the additional durability required for a mobile PC. And while there’s less to carry, there’s some serious muscle with a 4^th Generation Intel^® Core™ Processor inside to power through your packed schedule.

You’ll naturally see the difference with VAIO^® Pro 11/13. Videos, photos and presentations look their very best on the pin-sharp full HD display. Thanks to Sony’s BRAVIA expertise, TRILUMINOS^® Display for mobile delivers a richer, more natural viewing experience with bold, true-to-life colours, whilst X-Reality™ for mobile analyses each image and reproduces lacking pixels to optimize quality for the sharpest videos

VAIO^® Pro 11/13 lets you type in comfort, day and night with its smooth, responsive keyboard that tilts gently for greater comfort when the notebook is opened. Generous key spacing and stroke depth reduce errors when you’re working at speed, and the palm rest tapers smoothly to the desk top to cut wrist strain. Keyboard backlighting lets you type with confidence in dark rooms or during that overnight plane journey.

Work never sleeps, and sometimes you just can’t afford to switch off. Generous battery life up to 8 hours (**) on VAIO^® Pro 13 and up to 11 hours (**) on VAIO^® Pro 11 helps you stay productive throughout the day without hunting for a power socket. Need to keep going even longer? There’s an optional sheet battery that doubles stamina up to an amazing 18 hours (**) on VAIO^® Pro 13 and up to 25 hours (**) on VAIO^® Pro 11: plenty to polish reports or watch movies on that gruelling long-haul flight.

VAIO^® Pro 11/13 serves up a superior soundtrack, whether you’re watching movies or relaxing to your favourite music compilation. ClearAudio+ mode lets you choose from four different presets to match your listening tastes, or refine equaliser and sound effect settings. You’ll hear the difference with a dynamic, full-bodied performance… from music and dialogue to whisper quiet low-volume sounds.

Treat yourself to some really easy listening, whether you’re travelling or just relaxing at home. Simply touch NFC-enabled Sony wireless speakers or headphones against VAIO^® Pro to pair and instantly transfer your sounds without missing a beat[2]. You’ll enjoy your favourite tracks with crisp, clear digital quality – and no tangle of messy cables getting between you and your music.

Tired of struggling with no wireless signals in your hotel room or when you’re working offsite? The AC adapter-powered Wi-Fi router turns an Ethernet connection into your own on-the-go hotspot. Just plug in and instantly create your own Wi-Fi network. Wirelessly connect up to five smartphones or tablets at once… so all your other devices can share the signal and get online fast.

New VAIO^® Pro from Sony is available in Europe from end of June.
