Weighing only 870 g, thin 17.2 mmHaswellOnboard Ultrabook, VAIO Pro 11 will be on sale from June 22, but the only thing that stuck to the visual beauty not only specs but also its VAIO Pro 11 "VAIO Pro 11 | red edition". Depending on the material with its own multilayer painting technology, it has been polished by hand many times, and it has become a special spec for red that I wake up, so I actually borrowed the actual machine and tried it.

Arriving in a black box.


When I opened the box, a shiny VAIO Pro 11 | red edition wrapped in a black cloth appeared.


Contents are main body, seat battery, VGA adapter, wireless router.


Although it is the world's lightest VAIO Pro 11 | red edition, when weighing it in practice, it's lightness of cutting 871 g and 1 kg.


Even ladies hands can be lifted lightly.


The thinnest part has a thickness of 12.8 mm.


It is 17.2 mm thin on the hinge side.


The top surface is carbon. We realize red that awakens by carefully superimposing paint. This is a coating of pink, pink silver, red on the carbon fiber, UV coating as the fourth layer, the UV coating layer is finished by hand polishing.


Earphone jack, USB 3.0 connector, HDMI connector are lined up on the right side.


DC IN terminal on the left side. Since the LAN cable connector is not attached to the main body, when using a PC in a wired environment only, connect an optional wireless router to the AC adapter.


When opening the display, it opens smoothly half way ... ...


Response is born around around 90 degrees angle.


This is because the bottom is raised when the display is opened, and the hinge part is designed so that heat does not stay.


View from the right.


The other side.


The back side is like this.


SD card slot found on the back. Since the cover is attached, dust etc. does not enter.


Terminal for attaching the seat battery.


Actually started up. The OS can be selected from two types, Windows 8 Pro 64-bit and Windows 8 64-bit, and the CPU can also be selected from Intel Core i7-4500U Processor (1.80 GHz) and Intel Core i5-4200U Processor (1.60 GHz). The SSD is 256 GB and the maximum memory is 4 GB.


The display adopts a shiny triluminous display, and if the screen is dark you can see a slight reflection.


However, opening GIGAZINE did not bother me whether it was a whitish screen.


Although there are displays that suddenly become difficult to see if you change the angle, VAIO Pro 11 can check the contents by looking into the display from a slightly higher angle.


Looking diagonally from the side like this.


The screen is 11.6 wide wide, resolution is 1920 x 1080 full HD, pixel density is about 190 ppi and very fine display.Triluminas display for mobileBy implementing high brightness, high resolution, high color gamut and adopting condensed backlight, even with less electric power it looks like it looks bright from the front.


I can hardly see the feeling of dots unless I get very close.


Pictures are also displayed very vividly.


Let's Note S (CF-SX 1)It was surprisingly beautiful compared with the comparison.


Moreover, it has a touch panel, it can operate the screen with multi touch.


Aluminum for palm rest and mold with clear coating on keyboard bezel.


The key stroke is 1.4 mm.


Even though the main body is very thin, I feel that I firmly type the key.


The touchpad looks simple, but ....


You can click by pushing forward. In addition, NFC built in the touch pad part.


Since the key is lighted up, it is convenient to know at a glance where and where to use even in the dark.


A speaker is built in the hinge part.


The speaker uses the reflection of the liquid crystal surface, and by adopting Sony's own high sound quality technology, it makes clear sound close to the audio equipment possible.


Although the driving time of VAIO Pro 11 | red edition is 11 hours, driving time is extended to 23 hours when seat battery is installed.


Try to wear it like this.


As you can see from the front it is almost impossible to wear a battery.


The weight after attaching the seat battery is still only 1158 g.


It's easy to lift with one hand.


Besides VAIO Pro 11, there are also red edition in VAIO Duo 13, VAIO Pro 13, VAIO Fit 15, VAIO Fit 14. We are reselling and selling at Sony store and VAIO owner made dealers, and we plan to start selling from June 22nd.
