The Sony Vaio Duo 11 price has toddled by with its release date slated to fall sometime during this month. In the light of Microsoft’s upcoming OS launch, Windows 8 fans will also have a few other interesting options to consider including the Lenovo ThinkPad 2, Asus Taichi 21 and VivoBook X202.
Wrapped in a sleek and lightweight form factor, this Ultrabook weighs not more than 2.84 pounds, with an 11.6-inch LCD spanning over it. The bundled in digitizer stylus allows users to input content in their natural handwriting and there are swappable tips that enhance the experience. The pen comes in handy while creating and editing documents, images, spreadsheets and much more. And to ease out the effort required for customizing pictures, the company has included the Active Clip feature that makes it simple to crop stills.
If the stylus isn’t enough, customers can employ the backlit keyboard for quick input. One of the main features of the Ultrabook is that it doubles as a tablet with the help of the Surf Slider mechanism. This highlight helps in switching between keyboard and slate modes without much effort. The device comes with a host of ports for extended connectivity in addition to NFC support for file transfers. Attributes like Dolby Home Theater v4 for enhanced sound quality and the company’s Music Unlimited service for access to a host of tracks are thrown into the mix as well.
Going by the price and release date details, the Sony Vaio Duo 11 will begin shipping on October 26 at a starting cost of $1099.99. The device will be available drenched in black.
