[Pugsly]

The Sony VAIO T series and Fujitsu LifeBook P lineup gave glimpse of true mobility. With a petite form factor and long battery life, the VAIO T remains the premium model for the traveling executive. Though on the surface it may seem to compete with low-cost Netbooks, the VAIO brings the Core 2 Duo platform and integrated optical drive to the game. Sony further justifies its premium price tag by encasing the T series with a carbon-fiber chassis.

The prestigious refinement of Premium Carbon fully satisfies your discriminating taste. Savour the stunning image quality of a Blu-ray Disc Drive and 11.1 (28.2 cm) Clear Tough LCD [Rich Colour]. Relish the comforting clarity of an advanced noise cancelling feature and Sound Reality chip.The latest iteration, the VAIO TT series, ups the ante by offering dual solid-state drives (SSD) as well as a Blu-ray writer drive.

VAIO TT is one of the smallest and lightest machines in the market thanks to its hardy carbon-fiber body. It tips the scales at a mere 1.3kg and is even slimmer than the VAIO TZ series. This is impressive considering that the new VAIO uses the latest Centrino 2 platform and has an integrated optical drive. Though it uses an ultra-low powered Core 2 Duo chip running at 1.4GHz while the cheaper Netbooks have a clock speed of 1.6GHz on the Atom processor.
