	The Sony Vaio SVS13 was a mid-high end laptop released in 2012 as a refresh of the 2011 VPCS series. This was supposed to be a cheaper alternative to the [[Z (SVZ)]], offering most of its features (if not more) but at a lower price. Sony had streamlined the model lineup quite a bit, reducing it to just 2, the SVS13 and [[SVS15]]. The design is largely similar to the previous VPCS lineup, sharing many parts with each other, however made various improvements to its design such as a larger touchpad, ditching the physical buttons and also ditching the tray-loading optical drive for a slot loading drive. It featured the same IO but replacing one of the USB 2.0 ports with a USB 3.0 port.		The Sony Vaio SVS13 was a mid-high end laptop released in 2012 as a refresh of the 2011 VPCS series.

	The standard SVS13 was available in 3 color options which were black, white, silver, ~~pink and red.~~ and the premium models featured an exclusive 3 color option in black, gold and gunmetal grey. Higher end models also featured a partial carbon fiber construction, with a carbon fiber lid and aluminum bottom, allowing it to weigh as low as 1.67kg.
