Sony Vaio Duo 11 Win 8

Sony Vaio Duo 11 Win 8 Overview

Sony's Windows 8-based Vaio Duo 11 (Sony VAIO VPCCA2S1E/ DVD Drive) is the Japanese manufacturer's best shot to date at providing tablet functionality in an interesting form factor, but I'm still not convinced.Like the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13, Asus Taichi and Toshiba Satellite U925t, the Vaio Duo 11 Sony VAIO VGN-BZ1 DVD Drive has a gimmick. In the Duo's case it's a touchscreen tablet with a slider keyboard design that sets it apart from traditional notebook designs that simply have touchscreens.

The design is uncomfortable in other ways, too. The base extends beyond the display, so the sides of the device feel jagged and uneven. Our thumbs usually settled on the extended lower half, and this put extra weight on our fingers gripping the Sony VAIO VPCCW1S1T/L DVD Drive device from behind. The design is also rather inelegant: there’s a lot going on behind the display, with ribbon cables attaching the tilted panel to the base. We know, we know: having an exposed hinge system is pretty much a given with sliders, but other devices like the MSI S20 at least manage to look a little less messy.

Sony unveiled the VAIO Duo 11 hybrid laptop Sony VAIO VPCEH3A4R DVD Drive in Singapore on October 11, 2012. The Duo 11 hybrid (Figure A) is an ultrabook with a sliding 11.6-inch LCD display (Figure B) that switches the device between slate and keyboard mode. Its full-HD (1920×1080) touch sensitive screen allows for touch input or use of the digitizer stylus that comes with the package. laptop dvd drive burner
