The convenience of slate mode, combined with the efficiency of keyboard mode, creates a greatly improved PC experience.

So you will sleep soundly and wake up to a perfectly updated machine! On top of this, VAIO® Duo 13’s ability to wake from sleep mode in less than one second eliminates the need to wait for the PC to resume. You know how agitated we can get in the morning especially waiting for the machine to start up. With VAIO® Duo 13 there is no wait at all.

TRILUMINOS® Display for mobile allows users access to a wide palette of rich natural colors thanks to Sony’s BRAVIA expertise. This technology has made it possible to express differences in color more accurately. It can display the subtle differences of various reds, blues, and greens, as well as emerald green. For example, TRILUMINOS® Display for mobile has the ability to reproduce the variety of reds found in a rose or blues in the sky.

These display technologies fuse with the audio enhancing ClearAudio+ mode to offer an audio-visual experience that can’t be easily replicated. ClearAudio+ mode, developed with Sony’s own signal processing technologies, allows users to effortlessly enjoy audio quality that is distinctly Sony. By simply activating ClearAudio+ mode, one can enjoy Sony’s recommended sound in ultimate clarity and presence.

VAIO® Duo 13’s OptiContrast™ panel allows for a more accurate and natural writing experience when using the digitizer stylus. The digitizer stylus enables users to take notes in the memo taking application, “Note Anytime for VAIO,” or easily create their own works in “Active Clip” using pictures stored on their PC. This is what Sony meant by “offering new ways to use your PC in different scenes, whether for work or play” 😀
