 Hey folks, it's Ross Miller from The Verge. We are here at IFA 2012 in Berlin checking out Sony's so-called surf slider hybrid, the Windows 8 VioDual 11. So what you're going to see here is we've got, is pretty strong in a hinge. Actually lifts up a little bit and go down. It becomes a slate, push it up. It's not necessarily the easiest task. And it becomes your laptop. Keys as you expect will be small. Also as you would expect, it's a little shallow to make up for kind of the thinness. You can't have too thick of keys when you're basically slamming it on together. I've got a little track ball nub right here. Sony is promoting the stylus right here, but unfortunately I don't see a slot. In fact, I think it's actually, let me double check, it is about as wide as the entire thing closed down. So there is probably going to be no place for this. Look at that machine. We've got Thunderbolt, USB 3.0, presumably. HDMI out. Various buttons here. Some volume control for when it's closed. Your card reader. Your VGA, because if you're living in the future with a surf slider tablet, you still need that VGA connection every now and then. Card reader. And then over the front you've got your power and you've got your ethernet. Definitely a full feature computer in terms of ports and connectivity. Hard to say in the performance itself. We've got the much, much famous star screen. Feels pretty good. Actually surprisingly light. No question on the battery life and any of this stuff. They are calling it an Ultrabook, which means it's got Intel's standard chipset for that. No word necessarily on pricing at the moment, which would be an interesting topic. Otherwise, if you like the keyboard, then I think you actually might get a kick out of this. Otherwise, it's just a pretty standard tablet. The keyboard still takes a little bit of getting used to. Maybe we will if we play around with it more. Not the best we've played with, but for an all-in-one package, it's surprisingly not bad.
