Sony Vaio Duo 11
Sony’s Duo 11 is one of that strange new breed of hybrid Windows 8
devices that can be used as either a tablet or a laptop computer. It's an Intel
Core i5 3317U chip clocked at 1.7GHz - the same low power variety found in
Ultrabooks. While 1.7GHz may seem low, it can Turbo Boost itself to a whopping
2.7GHz under heavy strain, which means it's no slouch.It’s certainly an
attractive looking device, with an excellent high-definition, touchscreen.The
Sony Vaio Duo 11 packs an 11.6-inch 1920 x 1080 IPS panel, which looks
glorious. Not only is Windows 8's new interface sumptuously represented, but
also apps, games and movies too.The Sony Vaio Duo 11 has a fine set of specs
for an ultrabook and an excellent full-HD touch screen on which to take
advantage of the Windows 8-style interface.Battery life is respectable
considering the specifications. We got just over four hours when using Wi-Fi to
stream video from iPlayer, so you can probably stretch that to around five
hours for lighter web browsing or using simple office software.
But, The Duo's design
misses the mark for use as a tablet and a laptop, feeling like too much of a
compromise.
The bottom line:
While there are certainly things to like about the Sony Vaio Duo 11, the design
gets in the way of enjoying them.
