    "exceptionable battery life" -- don't you mean "exceptional"? Anyway, good review. It's interesting that the viewing angles are so poor; they're quite good on my Vaio Duo 11, which also has an 11" 1080p IPS display.

    Thanks for the correction, think I was victim of the auto-correct there. With regards to the viewing angles I think its a result of how sensitive the Duo Pro's screen is to light. It was very reflective when testing it the office. It certainly is a bit more flexible when the lights are off, as the images in the review showcase.

    Does anybody notice the screen "butter"/ grain effect issue?

    As if there's thin layer of butter distributed over the screen, from inside? You won't notice it when pixels aren't lighted with a light color. So just open a white background image in full screen mode and examine the screen upclose.

    No display port. It can't run my 30" U3011 at native. Oh well. Not like I can upgrade to a U3014 just because they can't stick a mini display port on notebooks these days.
