I recently bought two Sony VAIO Pro Ultrabooks. First one was for my wife and 
then she got sick of me stealing it when I travelled so I had to buy myself one 
;-)

Note that the model in the Sony store has been superseded by the SVP13229PG. We 
have one of each but the changes must be internal and minor as you cannot tell 
them apart and the specs are the same as far as I can tell.

It has a carbon fibre chassis so it weighs less than an 11” MacBook Air but 
it’s specs are closer to a MacBook Pro:

·         13” Full HD screen

·         8GB RAM

·         256 GB SSD

·         Core i7-4500U (Haswell low power)

·         Intel HD Graphics 4400

·         2x USB3 ports, HDMI port and SD Card slot

·         1.06 Kg!!!

I bought mine with a sheet battery, which doubles the already amazing battery 
life, but only increases the weight to 1.35 Kg.

Here’s a list of online retailers for them:

Hi everyone

I recently had my 13" 2012 macbook pro destroyed. 8GB RAM and 128GB solid 
state. Spent around $1700 when I bought it. Loved using it as was light, quick 
and just felt nice in my hands.
Now I have to replace it but I also need a new Windows laptop (13" also) for 
some coding so thought I could get something that would replace both.

Can anyone recommend something they've used or are using currently? Same size, 
weight if possible, ram and solid state is a must. Budget under 2k.

Cheers
Bec
