2. Sony Vaio Duo 11

A reoccurring theme of this year’s IFA is the move towards hybrid tablet/laptop devices that offer practical keyboards as well as touchscreens.

Dell’s XPS 10 is a handy option, but eyes were most drawn to Sony’s well-known Vaio brand. The new Duo device looks like a standard laptop until you slide the screen down on top of the keyboard, turning it into a tablet.

The device has a stylus, Windows Pro 8 installed as standard, and although it weighs a not insignificant 1.3kg, it is just 17.85mm thin in its tablet mode.

The Duo won’t be released until October, with pricing information yet to be released.
