Editors Didn't Like
- Only 30-day subscription to Internet Security, A few bloatware icons on desktop, Slower than systems with non-hybrid SSD, Heavier than rivals, No keyboard backlight, Fan is a little obtrusive
- The T13 Touch doesn't have a backlit keyboard and it's on the heavy side (if you consider 4 pounds heavy). The screen doesn't go fully flat and its hinges aren't stiff enough to handle writing or drawing well
- Needs more USB ports. As usual, bundled Sony software overwhelms even simple tasks. Washed out color on dim LCD
- Mediocre keyboard and Webcam, Sealed-in battery
- Shorter battery life than other Ultrabooks; Reflective display; Keyboard not backlit;
- Half a pound overweight, No WiDi
