Features & Specifications
The real attraction as far as the spec sheet of the Sony Vaio T-13 (SVT13126CNS) is the 128GB SSD, which gives it a serious advantage over the likes of the HP Envy 4-1002tx and the Samsung Series 5, all of which have a hard drive for primary storage and a mSATA drive for caching. Nothing beats the sheer performance boost of a dedicated SSD, and is worth the upgrade, if you can sacrifice the extra space the HDD would have offered. The HP Spectre XT also offered the same amount of storage.

The Sony Vaio T-13 (SVT13126CNS)’s Core i5-3317U processor clocks at 1.7GHz and is paired with 4GB of RAM. This is pretty much in line with the specs we have seen for most ultrabooks and laptops we have seen in this price category.
The Sony Vaio T-13 (SVT13126CNS)’s fairly standard 13.3-inch display has the expected resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. Colour handling and text readability are impressive. However, the reflective nature of the display is a bit of an issue in most usage scenarios. Too much stuff in front of the display is reflecting off it, including the user’s own face in most lighting conditions.
The touchscreen experience is critical for a smooth Windows 8 experience, and that works well. Unlike certain ultrabooks and laptops that have flimsy display hinges pushing back the screen every time you touch it, the Sony Vaio T-13 (SVT13126CNS) stays firmly where you want it to be. This is half the battle won! Do remember, the likes of the HP Spectre XT and the Samsung Series 5 do not have touchscreen updates yet, and the Acer Aspire M3 Touch is the only other touchscreen capable ultrabook. Between the M3 Touch and the Vaio T13, the T13 offers a better touchscreen usage experience, primarily because of the better display hinge.
