Sony Vaio Duo 13 inch slider on the way?

Sony offers a slider-style Windows 8 computer that you can use as a notebook or a tablet by sliding out a keyboard from behind the screen. It's called the Sony Vaio Duo 11, and it sells for around $1155 and up.

But if you've been holding out for a slider with a larger screen, it looks like a 13 inch model might be on the way.

A tipster has posted details in the Notebook Review forum. Apparently training materials sent to workers at Dixons in the UK describe a slider-style WInodws tablet with a 13 inch screen, an HDMI port, SD card slot, backlit keyboard, and up to 10 hours of battery life.

Sony is also apparently adding a small touchpad below the keyboard — the Sony Vaio Duo 11 has a pointing stick in the center of the keyboard instead.

Like the 11.6 inch model, the Vaio Duo 13 appears to have an active digitizer as well as a capacitive touchscreen. That means you can use the tablet by tapping or swiping your fingers across the screen, but you can also write, draw, or hover over the screen with a pressure-sensitive digital pen.

There's no official word on the price or launch date for the new tablet.
