The Sony Vaio Pro 11 is an excellent little laptop for frequent travelers or daily commuters. And the laptop's Assist button, positioned above the keyboard, gives you one-button access to tune up, update, and troubleshoot the Pro 11, and includes the option to connect with a Sony expert by phone, chat, or online. You can also opt for extended Vaio Care with protection against accidental damage, an on-site service plan, and express shipping coverage. The Vaio Pro 11 comes with a standard one-year limited warranty that covers hardware, parts, and labor. So, although its battery can't easily be swapped out for a fresh one (and you're still stuck with a service call when the internal battery out and out dies), you aren't without options for keeping the laptop up and running past its 6-hour battery life. For $149.99, a sheet battery that fits on the bottom of the laptop can double the Pro 11's battery life. Sony's engineering estimate puts battery life at up to 6.5 hours and we have no doubt that with power management and normal use, you could hit that mark. True to Intel's claims of better battery life, the Pro 11 ran for 5 hours and 56 minutes in our video playback battery test. Stepping up to the Pro 13 will get you 8GB of RAM (but that's the maximum), slightly better integrated graphics, and a PCIe solid-state drive that is faster than a traditional SSD (though we didn't have any sluggishness when opening applications or large files on the Pro 11). It is limited to the 4GB of system memory that it comes with, however, and there's no option for discrete graphics.

If you think you might need more storage or a bit better performance, the Pro 11 can be configured with a 256GB SSD and a Core i7 processor.

Also, the system will heat up under heavy load and its tiny fans really start to whir. The Pro 11 can handle some graphically demanding games, but it's not a pleasant experience - stick to casual games.

The integrated graphics were plenty for basic photo editing and we didn't have problems with trimming or playback of 1080p video clips, either.

Also, with the Pro 11, from off to the Windows 8 Start screen takes less than 10 seconds. Waking the laptop from sleep takes less than 3 seconds, which is awesome for when you want or need to just start working. Touch does come in very handy on a screen this size, though, allowing you to easily drag windows around on the desktop. Text is nice and sharp, but the screen's 11.6-inch size is small, so text might just be too small for some to read comfortably. Its native resolution is 1,920x1,080 pixels and it does use IPS technology, giving it wide viewing angles on the sides, top, and bottom. Regardless of technologies, the screen is really nice for viewing movies and photos. Sony also says the computer has X-Reality for Mobile technology that improves video quality. The new 10-point touch LCD uses Sony's Triluminos Display for Mobile technology, which is similar to what you'll find in Sony's high-end LCD TVs. Apple MacBook Air 11.6-inch (Summer 2012)
