-The Sony VAIO SVT13 is a 13" ultrabook released by Sony in 2011. It was targeted towards business users, and was supposed to be a thin and light laptop with long battery life. The SVT13 featured both 2nd gen and 3rd gen Core i CPUs, the 3rd gen models using the newly introduced low voltage U series of CPUs, leading to less heat and longer battery life. As a result, the 3rd gen SVTs run very cool when idle and even under load, topping out at 75c when stressed.

-The SVT13 is constructed using aluminum and plastic, featuring an aluminum lid, aluminum palmrest and plastic bottom case, so build quality was solid and the laptop feels premium to the touch. The SVT13 was also the first VAIO to feature a hybrid SSD+HDD solution, containing a 32GB mSATA SSD as a cache along with the 2.5" HDD. This was done using Intel Rapid Start Technology, which allowed the laptop to load commonly accessed data from the SSD, and also suspend to the SSD, allowing for fast wake-up times and the laptop to be completely off. There were also SSD only models released too, featuring a 2.5" SSD, however the mSATA slot is not soldered on SVTs that did not have a cache. The SVT13 had good I/O for a thin laptop, featuring a USB 3.0 port, HDMI, VGA and Ethernet.

 A later update of the SVT13 was also released following the release of Windows 8, this time featuring a revamped BIOS with UEFI support and a touchscreen. These can be identified by the all glass screen, as well as the Windows 8 logo on the Windows key instead of the 7 logo.
