Sony unveils VAIO Duo 11 Windows 8 ultrabook in Singapore

Wow! This makes the rest of the ultrabooks look cheap. Are the keys 24k gold?

So I can understand the price, somewhat. Sony generally has higher prices. I like everything included and that it is a powerful machine. You can't compare this to iPad or Android tablets as this isn't the same type of device. The Microsoft Surface is more comparable to the iPad and Android tablets.

I think i rather buy normal ultra thin laptop and microsoft surface instead of buying this!

Good luck selling that Sony...

between tablets and regular laptops. The keyboard size and weight, I think are to be judged by everyone's personal preferences.
The price seems to bee just a bit on the high end, but might worth it for somebody who needs exactly this.... not sure how large that niche is though ...
