The Sony Vaio
T13 Touch gives you the convenience of a full-size keyboard and touch pad with
a responsive touch screen for experiencing the Windows 8-style interface. It
has very good performance for its class and excellent battery life. The T13
looks slim and flat. The keyboard is large
with generous space between keys. Above the keyboard are a few dedicated keys:
Assist, Web, and Vaio. Assist launches Vaio Care, a service for diagnosing and
fixing problems, while Web launches your Web browser of choice and Vaio
launches Media Gallery or Play Memories, part of Sony's music and photo
software that comes preinstalled.
In terms of dimensions, the 12.7 x 8.9 x
0.7-inch, 3.4-pound T13 is a bit on the heavy side for a 13-inch
Ultrabook. The 1.3 megapixel HD webcam on the VAIO T13 captures still
images at a sharp 2560 x 2048 resolution. VAIO T13 packs a 1.7-GHz
Intel Core i5-3317U CPU with 4GB of RAM, a 500 GB hard drive, 32GB MLC
(Multi-Level Cell) SSD Hybrid and Intel HD Graphics 4000 GPU. Sony has a bit of a mixed record with its
laptop keyboards, and unfortunately the T13 is no exception. Its chiclet
keyboard isn’t backlit, but that’s expected from a budget Ultrabook. Less
forgivable is that, though keys are well-spaced and feel pleasant, feedback is
so shallow as to offer a rather nebulous typing experience.
