Offering new ways to use your PC in different scenes, whether for work or play
Sony Corporation last week launched in Sri Lanka new additions to the summer 2013 VAIO line-up with the introduction of VAIO Duo 13 and VAIO Pro 13/11.
Designed to enhance individuals’ lifestyles, the new slider hybrid PC, VAIO Duo 13, and mobile VAIO Pro 13/11 complete the line-up of existing family-friendly VAIO Tap 20 and entertainment-centred VAIO Fit 14/15.
The VAIO Duo 13 and VAIO Pro 13/11 harness Sony’s innovative display, digital imaging, and sound technology, while providing a choice of new personal computing experiences. “Our aim is to provide customers with a variety of new ways to use their PCs by combining powerful Sony technologies with new form factors,” said VAIO and Mobile Business Group SVP and President Ryosuke Akahane. “We’re aiming to make devices that will enhance and enrich individuals’ lifestyles in both work and play. One example is the VAIO® Duo 13’s camera functionality which has the ability to take crisp images of documents using the computer’s camera as if it were a scanner.”
The VAIO Duo 13 is a slider hybrid Ultrabook which provides a multitude of new user solutions with its unique form factor as well as accurate and versatile pen solution.
The unique Surf Slider design of the VAIO Duo 13 allows for a quick and seamless transition between slate and keyboard modes. The convenience of slate mode, combined with the efficiency of keyboard mode, creates a greatly improved PC experience.
VAIO Duo 13’s innovative standby technology offers many advantages, including its constant connection to the internet, even while in sleep mode.
However, the most incredible part of this technology is that VAIO Duo 13 is able to provide these benefits without compromising battery life. On the contrary, the VAIO Duo 13 has the longest battery life when compared with any Ultrabook.
