Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the dell laptop battery
Known as Vaio Picks, this Sony apps section is one of the first things you see upon opening the Windows Store on the Vaio Duo. A nice touch is that a full version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 is preloaded on the device. Those with a Sony Xperia handset can also use the Xperia Link app to easily share the Internet connection on the phone with the Vaio Duo.
However, there's no way to stow the stylus within the device. Instead, you'll have to keep it separately in a laptop bag and hope that you don't lose it accidentally one day. If that sounds half-baked to you, we agree wholeheartedly.
Despite its relatively compact form factor, we were surprised that the Vaio Duo 11 with battery such as dell Latitude D830 battery , dell MM165 battery , dell YD626 battery , dell 312-0393 battery , dell Latitude D800 battery , dell Inspiron 8500 battery , dell 8N544 battery , dell Inspiron 8600 battery , Dell Precision M60 battery , dell Inspiron 6400 battery , dell Inspiron 1100 battery , dell Inspiron 5100 battery has a full range of ports and connectors. There's even an Ethernet port, along with both VGA and HDMI outputs, and two USB 3.0 ports. You'll also find both front and rear-facing cameras (2.4-megapixel caliber with Exmor R sensors), though taking pictures with this 1.3kg device is awkward, to say the least. It can also record 1080p videos, but the quality leaves much to be desired.
There's also an assortment of sensors typically seen on tablets, including NFC, an accelerometer, a gyroscope and a digital compass.
Audio comes from two small speakers at the front bottom of the device. Performance is adequate--it is loud enough for movie-viewing, but the quality isn't going to rock your world.
As Windows 8 convertibles go, the Toshiba Satellite U920t and the Dell XPS 12, are probably the closest competitors to the Vaio Duo 11. These 12.5-inch models are slightly heavier than the 11.6-inch Sony, though they all come with the standard Ultrabook hardware. The Vaio Duo 11 and Dell XPS 12 are more expensive than the Toshiba Satellite U920t as they both come with faster Core i7 processors, 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSDs. Both Dell and Sony also offer cheaper Core i5 models--that version of the Vaio Duo 11 is priced at S$1,999.
The Sony Vaio Duo 11 offers more connectivity options, including an extra VGA port and Ethernet. On the other hand, the lack of a touchpad on the Sony is a significant omission.
With its standard mix of Ultrabook hardware, we expected the Sony Vaio Duo 11 to be snappy and responsive. It delivered on those fronts, with its Samsung-branded SSD and Core i7 processor combining for a score of 5,112 in PCMark7. While this beats the Toshiba Satellite U920t (4,479 PCMarks), we have recorded a higher 5,489 score on the HP Spectre XT, which also boasts similar specifications.
Expectations should be tempered when it comes to gaming--the Intel integrated graphics on Ultrabooks isn't powerful enough for most PC games. It should, however, suffice for those games available on the Windows Store, such as Cut the Rope (free).
