Great ideas often begins with the spark of creativity jotted down on a pad of paper, with its new digitizer stylus, Sony has successfully brought that experience to the VAIO™ Duo 11. Minimal latency means a more natural writing experience, and the screen intelligently ignores palm presses while writing, preventing distracting scribbles.
