Sony Vaio Flip 13

This one specially made news in the market for its double-hinged (flip) design. The premium convertible laptop can double up as a tab if you wish to use it that way. Now, Sony Vaio has proved to be quite a revelation from among a series of convertible products which end up compromising on the size or the placement of the device. However, Vaio’s quality of overall construction has emerged as the winner. Right from the well designed hinge itself to the rubber diaphragm across the body— there is hardly any sign of structural weakness. When the device is folded as a tablet, you might as well notice that there are significant gaps between the lid and the body. However, quite surprisingly you will not really feel that the device has weakened because of that. There is a locking latch which guarantees that the screen remains facing forward when you are either opening or closing the laptop.

Which are your personal favorites? Draw up your own list and find out if it complies with this one or not.
