Pro 11
Overview
The Sony VAIO Pro 11 (SVP11) is a business-class ultrabook laptop computer that was released in 2013 by Sony. It is part of the last generation of VAIO laptops from Sony. A 13 inch version is also available (see Pro 13).
The Pro 11 features a 4th Gen Haswell Intel Core i5 or i7 ULV processor, an Intel HD 4400 integrated graphics, and 4GB of RAM, which is soldered on the motherboard. The SSD runs on the SATA 6GB/s interface, and is of the M.2 NGFF form.
The case is made of flexible carbon fiber, which makes the laptop very light at only 860 g (1.9 pounds). When the display is opened, the bottom half of the laptop gets slightly elevated, which makes for a more comfortable typing experience. It was available in black, silver and glossy red.
One of the selling points of this laptop other than its small form factor and weight, is its display, a Sony Triluminos 1080p IPS panel with multi touch support.

Daily Usage Today
This device is still very usable today. It can watch 1080p60 YouTube videos with minimal problems. The fast SSD makes for a very snappy experience overall, and it can run non-resource-intensive games at a low but reasonable frame rate. This comes at a cost, fan noise, as it can get pretty loud even on light loads.
The atrocity that is Windows 11 runs completely fine on this device.
