Sony unveils the Vaio Duo 13 Windows 8 slider

Sony is expanding its line of slider-style Windows 8 tablets. Last year the company introduced the Sony Vaio Duo 11, a tablet with a slide-out keyboard that lets you use the machine like a laptop.

Now, as expected, Sony is following up with a 13 inch model called the Sony Vaio Duo 13.

The Sony Vaio Duo 13 has a carbon fiber case, and weighs 2.93 pounds, making it pretty light for a laptop (although a bit hefty for a tablet). At 0.77 inches, it?s also thin by notebook standards, but chunky compared to most tablets.

That?s probably why Sony is marketing the computer as an ultrabook rather than a tablet.

The full QWERTY keyboard and tiny touchpad help justify that position, since you really can use the Duo 13 as a notebook ? as long as you don?t mind being unable to adjust the position of the screen on your notebook. Basically you can use the Sony Vaio Duo 13 in two positions: with the screen open, or closed. While open, you can?t tilt the screen forward or back.

Since the new tablet has a smaller bezel around the display than the 11.6 inch model, the Vaio Duo 13 is almost the same size and weight as its ?smaller? sibling.

The computer has a 1920 x 1080 pixel touchscreen display and support for a digital pen, an Intel Haswell processor (with support for anything up to a Core i7 chip). It?ll ship with 4GB of RAM, a 128GB solid state disk, and features 2 USB 3.0 ports, HDMI output, WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, and GPS.

Sony?s new slider has a starting price of $1399. It?s expected to go on sale June 9th, and will be available in black and white colors.
