    I wonder if the small size will help it escape the keyboard flex that has been an issue with other Flip models. Overall, I personally still like the Vaio Duo line more than the Vaio Flip line.

    One thing I think is interesting is how Sony is 100% focused right now on touchscreen ultraportables. At eleven inches, Sony now has three models: the Tap 11 slate, the Flip 11 convertible, and the Pro 11 touchscreen laptop. At thirteen inches, Sony also has three models: the Duo 13 slider, the Flip 13 convertible, and the Pro 13 touchscreen laptop. That's a lot of overlap, and I wonder if Sony is considering retiring the Pro line.
