4.0 out of 5 starsGreat Ultrabook with a few quirks that you may get used to quickly
By Al Gator on July 9, 2013
Color: Black
SECOND UPDATE
===================
(1) Speakers
(2) Build
(3) Temperature/fan noise
(4) Tips
(5) General Thoughts

(1) Speakers: I know some of the professional reviews said they aren't the greatest but they are not terrible for the size. No, you're not going to get blown away and you're not going to get deep bass. The built-in speakers are located around the hinge, facing up and slightly toward the screen. The sound doesn't get distorted at max volume and fills a standard room pretty adequately at max volume. I'm sure the small size also provided some challenges for the engineering team, so I'm not disappointed.

(2) Build: The more I play with it, I'm not convinced that it's mainly carbon fiber. I sense that there is a decent amount of "plastic-y" material in there but I'm not complaining. The only issue it gives me is the accuracy of the trackpad when not on a hard surface (see the second update to this review below).

(3) Temperature/fan noise: OK, I'll concede a little here with some of the other reviewers. I'm not so concerned with the noise as much as I am with the durability of components that heat up this much. Yes, when the fan gets going, the exiting air temperature is very hot, and the underside of the laptop is as well. SpeedFan reported temps as high as 78 degrees Celsius (172 degrees F)!! That's hotter than any other desktop or mobile computer I've owned without additional heat-mitigating mechanisms. I just hope the components are able to handle that temp--at least it's an SSD instead of a traditional platter. It's also a little bit away from the hot components. The extended battery gives a little relief since it pushes the laptop up a little like a stand.Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 stars18JUL Wifi Patch Still Not Solving Problem
By DC Phil on July 20, 2013
Color: Silver
I returned this laptop to the Sony store (even after receiving a second/replacement for the first). The major issue remains the wifi connectivity -- despite an 18 July "update" from Sony, there is STILL a problem with the wifi. I have an above average knowledge of computers and I walked through all the basic and advanced troubleshooting steps (and, yes, my router/network works fine, I have other computers connected via 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, g and n; and, yes, I tried multiple wireless networks around my neighborhood). The problem is, simply, the wifi hardware or firmware in this computer. There are other problems (extremely loud fan, troublesome trackpad) but those can be solved via software/firmware updates (although Sony makes this painful - try clicking your country preference for EACH (of many) updates over a 2 hour period, meaning you can't walk away from the computer as it updates itself -- seriously, Sony, too hard to grab the country preference ONCE from the user?). Bottom line: this computer was released to the consumer before it was ready, and users are paying the price (in wasted time and energy). Sony, like HP, has been added to my "Don't Buy" list for the foreseeable future.

5.0 out of 5 starsSony raised the bar for battery life
By Amazon Customer on August 31, 2013
Color: Black Verified Purchase
Summary: I'm very happy with this notebook.

Pros:

Excellent battery life
Beautiful display
Very, very lightweight
Decent keyboard
Fast/stable wifi (after SW updates)
Ports: HDMI, SD, 2x USB 3.0

Cons:

Sharp pointy bits on the bottom edge of the display panel
Disappointing viewing angle
Undersized arrow keys and Fn key required for Home/End/PgUp/PgDn
Lacks ethernet jack
Touchpad/case flexing issues

I bought the Sony VAIO Pro SVP13215PXB 13.3-Inch Core i7 Touchscreen Ultrabook (Carbon Black). That's the Core i7 / 8GB RAM / 256GB SSD version and I am very pleased, overall.

The notebook resumes from sleep in just a few seconds. If I do a shutdown/power on cycle it's still remarkably fast to boot (less than 10 seconds). I have both hybrid sleep and the fast startup options disabled, and it's still a blazing fast boot.

The right edge has an HDMI port, two usb 3.0 ports, headphone/mic jack, and an SD card slot. The left edge has only the jack for the power. There are no I/O ports on the front or back edges. I like this configuration since I don't use the notebook while charging it and therefore I won't have wires (for headphones or whatever else) hanging off more than one edge.

The keyboard is better than many others I've tried (I went to a big box store and sampled keyboards on other ultrabooks from Acer, Samsung, Dell, etc.). My only complaint is the trend (from many manufacturers - not just Sony) to shrink the size of the arrow keys and eliminate the Home/End/PgUp/PgDn keys. For document editing these are very important keys. I guess they are just following Apple's lead.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat ultrabook
By J.K. on November 13, 2013
Color: Black
I've only had my Vaio Pro 13 for about a week but here are my initial impressions.

Great screen, lightweight, nice design. Small enough that I'm going to use it as a replacement for both my old laptop and for my ipad. With a laptop this light, a tablet seems rather redundant for my uses.

Other than the trial antivirus program, the pre-loaded software was mostly useful. At the least, none of the software bogged down the PC or was an annoyance, which is a major step up from what I've seen on other new laptops in the past.

In regards to wifi, I have not run into any issues with connectivity. I have updated all the drivers (including wifi driver) so it is possible that it resolved the issue other reviewers were having with wifi signal. I am using the laptop on the opposite side of my condo from where my wifi router is located so it's working at a decent distance.

Also of note is the laptop hasn't gotten hot or noisy on me yet. Nothing I have done has taxed the machine (no graphic intensive games or movies) but in everyday use, I don't see heat or noise being an issue. It may be that I'm just not as picky as other users or maybe have more ambient noise that it makes the laptop noise unnoticeable.

Cons
Screen is glossy and a fingerprint magnet (no more than most touchscreen tablets and monitors though so as expected)

A great little laptop for those willing to give it a chance.
