Background and Identification

The T13 Series of laptops was the first attempt from Sony to enter the Ultrabook market. Revealed initially at CES 2012, the laptop was met with high praise by reviewers and consumers alike. The higher end model of the laptop includes an Intel Core i7-3517U Processor clocked at 1.90GHz, 6GB of DDR3 RAM, a 256GB SSD, and Intel Audio/Graphics. The portability, power, and advanced I/O packed into this laptop drew many students and business professionals to the T13 series.

The laptop is easily distinguishable by its brushed aluminum design with the signature 'VAIO' logo inlaid on the top cover of the device. The reflective plastic hinge cover imprinted with the SONY brand is also an identifying feature.
