The editors didn't like
Small keyboard
Cramped buttons. Screen locks into place at one angle only. Lacklustre performance from builtin cameras.
Dual tablet/laptop, terrific HD touch screen, powerful processor, full Windows 8,
Not cheap, sliding mechanism doesn't seem sturdy, no storage for stylus
The Duo 11 has a stonking screen and delivers an impressive performance. It shows off Windows 8 to best effect but while the sliding screen mechanism is distinctive, it won't be for everyone. This being Sony, it's no bargain, but if you want a hybrid t...
Abstract: The Sony Vaio Duo 11 laptop has an identity crisis. Slipping and sliding, the Duo is in one instance a thick and heavy Windows 8 tablet before clumsily transforming into a Windows 8 laptop with an awkward, fixed-angle screen. In trying to do two things...
No track pad, a little chunky, not great as a tablet, sliding mechanism is difficult to operate
As a notebook, the Vaio Duo 11 performs well, and the HD screen is high quality. But for £849 for the least powerful configuration, we think it is a little too expensive for what you get....
It’s certainly nice having the option of using the Duo 11 as a tablet from time to time. However, at this price the Duo 11 also needs to earn its keep as a workhorse laptop, and that baby-sized keyboard could deter many people who need a laptop that th...
Screen looks great, decent build quality, backlit keys, reasonable power
Touchscreen dirties up quickly, compressed keyboard is awkward, no dock for stylus, occasional orientation issues, when the fan kicks in it's horrendously noisy
The Duo 11's star of the show is its bright and detailed 1920 x 1080 resolution touchscreen. However when it comes down to it the compressed keyboard and touchscreen combination isn't the most comfortable for traditional laptop-like use. The Duo 11 fee...
Despite some glimmers of brilliance, the VAIO Duo 11 is neither a great tablet nor a great laptop. Indeed, the problem is that, while ingenious and beautifully formed, Sony’s decision to go the true convertible tablet route has forced it to compromise ...

Great screen, Staggering power, Top connectivity, QWERTY keyboard, High, end build
Laptop, esque weight, No trackpad, Small keyboard, Bulky, Keyboard can't detach
It may not be wafer thin or super-light, but it has a gorgeous Full HD screen, 128GB of storage, full connectivity and is as good for work as it is for play. That is something the iPad, Google Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire just can't compete with. While it's n...
Full HD resolution, Bright, bold screen, Very powerful components, Helpful convertible design, Portable size, Great Windows 8 software
Converting mechanism feels susceptible to damage, Volume buttons are awkwardly placed, Nowhere to store the stylus
The Sony Vaio Duo 11 offers a Full HD screen, a slide-away keyboard and some very powerful specs. It's a great way to take advantage of Windows 8's tiled interface, but you'll need to make sure you don't mistreat that sliding mechanism....
