Sony VAIO Pro 11 SVP11215PXB

Welcome to a Laptep Adapter specialist of the Sony Ac Adapter

Billed as the world's lightest touch-enabled ultrabook, the Sony VAIO Pro 11 (SVP11215PXB) packs Core i7 power, ten-point touch technology, and a stunning high-resolution display into a sleek 11-inch ultrabook chassis. At $1,500 the Pro 11 with adapter such as Sony PCG-FR150 AC adapter, Sony VGN-FZ AC adapter, Sony VGN-FS AC adapter, Sony VGN-FW518 AC adapter, Sony VGN-FW550 AC adapter, Sony VGN-Z880 AC adapter, Sony VPC-W121 AC adapter, Sony PCG-FX AC adapter, Sony PCG-R505 AC adapter, Sony PCG-Z505 AC adapter, Sony VGN-C290 AC adapter, Sony VGN-FE690 AC adapter is priced a little high considering it uses integrated graphics and comes with a single solid-state drive. But if style and portability are a priority, it's a good bet. That said, its battery life is well shy of what we've seen from other ultrabooks, and I/O ports are scarce.

The Pro 11's Core i7-4500u CPU is part of Intel's new Haswell line. It boasts a core speed of 1.8GHz with a maximum speed of 2.39GHz and uses the new HD 4400 graphics circuitry. Armed with the new Haswell architecture and 4GB of system memory, the Pro 11 turned in a PCMark 7 score of 4,609, which trailed the Asus UX51VZ-DH71 by more than 300 points and the Toshiba Kirabook by more than 600 points. It should be noted that the Toshiba Kirabook had 8GB of memory and the Asus UX51VZ-DH71 used dual SSD's configured for RAID.

On our Cinebench R11.5 CPU test, the Pro 11's score of 2.46 lagged the field, which included the Asus UX51VZ-DH71 (5.60), the Toshiba Kirabook (2.92), and the Apple MacBook Pro 13-Inch (Retina Display)(2.83).

Results from our Handbrake and Photoshop multimedia tests were similar; the Pro 11 finished last on the Handbrake encoding test but managed to squeak past the Toshiba Kirabook on the Photoshop test.

Intel's new HD 4400 GPU showed slight improvement over its predecessor, the HD 4000, but not surprisingly, it still can't compete with a discrete graphics solution like the Nvidia GeForce GT 650M. It scored 19 fps on our Alien vs. Predator test at mid-quality, edging out the Toshiba Kirabook by 5 fps. Both systems managed only 5 fps on the high-quality test. The Asus UX51VZ-DH71, with the help of its Nvidia GT 650M card, scored 43 fps at mid-quality and 17 fps at high-quality.

Likewise, the Pro 11 scored 13 fps (mid-quality) and 4 fps (high quality) on our Heaven benchmark tests, beating the Toshiba Kirabook by a single frame on both, but the Asus UX51VZ-DH71 blew them both away with scores of 32 fps and 13 fps, respectively.

Battery life was disappointing; the Pro 11's sealed 4125mAh battery lasted 4 hours 21 minutes on our battery rundown test. Although that beat the Asus UX51VZ-DH71 by around 20 minutes, it pales in comparison to the 7-plus hours we got from the Apple MacBook Pro 13-Inch (Retina Display) and the Toshiba Kirabook's time of 5:50.

Sony has always been big on style, and the VAIO Pro 11 is no exception. It's thin and light carbon fiber body will fit comfortably into a briefcase, carry bag, or backpack, and will withstand the rigors of frequent travel. It's powerful enough for all but the most demanding graphics workload, and its 1080P touch-screen display is a pleasure to use and a beauty to behold. That said, the Macbook Pro 13-Inch (Retina Display) maintains its edge, thanks to its incredible 2,560-by-1,600 display and seven-hour battery life, which is why it remains our Editors' Choice for high-end ultrportables. Our high-end ultrabook Editors' Choice is the Asus Zenbook Prime Touch UX31A-BHI5T ($1,199), and if you can handle the extra pound and a quarter, the UX31A-BH15T is a better buy overall with over six hours of battery life.
