Looks like Sony is working on a hybrid computer with a ‘SurfSlider’ design that runs the Windows 8 operating system. The 13-inch touchscreen device was first glimpsed in a grainy training video, but has since appeared in a series of press photographs, Engadget reports.

The Ultrabook comes with a 1080p Triluminos touchscreen, an Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD.
Other features include stylus support, ActiveSleep, 10 hours of battery power, NFC technology, a backlit keyboard, Clear Audio+, and an 8-megapixel Exmor RS camera sensor.
Users can slide the device’s display over its physical keyboard to use it as a tablet, or click it back upright so that it functions like a traditional laptop PC.
Sony has been tipped to release the machine under the Vaio banner, but pricing and a release date are yet to be announced.
