Sony continues to move forward with their computer offerings. Almost in a slump for quite some time, the company has been launching devices earning good feedback and positive market reception. Recently, the company has gained attention for their line up of Sony Xperia Z smartphones and tablets. This time around, the Japanese tech giant seems to earn another title for the world's lightest laptop.

Throughout the years, Sony has been considered as one of the world's leading investors. The company has produced some of the most popular and well recognized tech treasures. These include the Walkman, CD, Blur Ray and PlayStation among others.

This time, Sony wants their name out as among the best laptop makers around.

The Sony VAIO P11 is now considered as the lightest laptop. The device weighs only 770 grams. It is lighter compared to any laptop today on the market - and that includes Apple's MacBook Air at 1.08kg. Reviews indicate that holding the laptop is similar to picking up a school notebook. It feels as light as paper.

Despite being the world's lightest laptop, does the VAIO P11 deliver?

The P11 runs on Intel's 4th gen i5 processor. This generation for Intel is best known for their low energy consumption and more battery life. The ultrabook offers as much as 8.5 hours of battery life. If users attach an added sheet battery, the battery life can extend up to 17 hours. That offers more than half a day of computing power.

Another important spec is the 11-inch Full HD IPS screen. This ensures users that the screen will not dim regardless of the angle they choose. Operating system is Windows 8. The device features Near Field Communication or NFC. People can tap their NFC-enabled smartphone and it will work well with the laptop. Other features include 128GB SSD, HDMI port, 3.5mm jack and card reader.
