New Sony Vaio TT Range Unveiled
There’s great news for all of those Sony Vaio fans out there as a new range of high-end models has just been released. And there is no hiding the target market here, with Sony firmly setting their sights on the traveling executive.
The TT range comprises a trio of models, all ultra-light and suitably tiny, and Sony are hoping that they will be a huge success amongst the traveling elite.
Looking at the specs of the notebooks, it’s easy to see why Sony think they will take off in a big way. At only 23.5mm at its thinnest, and coming with a carbon-fiber cover to decrease the weight, it weighs in at a total of just 1.32kg, not bad for anyone constantly on the move.
But it is the battery life that people are getting really excited about. By running on Intel’s Ultra Low Voltage Core 2 Duo Processor, and managing to incorporate dynamic screen lighting, Sony is promising eight hours of usability. However, this may have been a bit ambitious, seeing as the demo unit only lasted for four and a half hours when tried with Windows Vista; and that was on power saving mode.
However, this will all surely get sorted out, and the TT also boasts a quick charging function, meaning that in just an hour 50 percent of the battery will be charged up. Security has also been taken into consideration with a finger print reader and the Trusted Platform Module hardware to encrypt data, no doubt to let users live out all of their James Bond fantasies.
Features include between 2Gb and 4Gb of RAM, a 120GB or 160GB hard drive, and 11.1 inch display. It also comes with embedded mobile broadband support and a T-Mobile SIM card with 30 days free access.
If you are desperate to get your hands on a new TT, you’ll have to wait until 14 November when you’ll be able to pick one up for between £1,599 and £1,999. However, there is a cheaper version available which does not have embedded mobile broadband and will go for £1,349.
