Available in Black & White, the VAIO Duo 13 also comes with LTE (4G) version for those who need to stay connected. The slider hybrid VAIO Duo 13 has a 15 hour battery life, the longest  among all the Ultrabook models currently available in the market. The unique Surf Slider design of the VAIO Duo 13 allows for a quick and seamless transition between slate and keyboard modes. Additionally, its innovative standby technology enables the VAIO model to continuously update applications as well as receive emails even when it is in sleep mode.

With the inclusion of Exmor RS for PC image sensor in the 8 megapixels built-in rear camera of the VAIO Duo 13, users can now take images of documents clear enough that the computer can recognise and tag text. This capability, added with the “CamScanner” application, allows the VAIO to function as a scanner and has the ability to straighten images of documents and photos taken at odd angles.

The digitizer stylus enables users to take notes using the memo-taking application, “Note Anytime for VAIO”, or easily create their own works in “Active Clip” using pictures stored on their PC.
