Review: Sony Vaio TT notebook
Sony is known for its range of high quality products and the series Vaio TT laptop, opened in October, is certainly an indication of quality which is above price.
Although our recent study of the Dell Inspiron Mini 12 highlighted the case of a NETBOOK who wanted to be a laptop, the TT takes Conversely, cramming in a laptop form factor of the same size that most courses netBook.
The chassis measures only 200 mm x 279 mm deep and 23.5mm at its thinnest. They are made of carbon fiber that the whole device weighs only 1.32 kg. The cover of 4 mm thick, means the entire screen can be folded and flexible and not worrying, but it is completely carbon fiber in a robust, even if we do not want the stress test both flinging around the cover, normal use should not cause any problems.
Inside the carcass of an Intel Core 2 Duo running at 1.2 GHz, 4 GB of DDR3 RAM, an Intel Mobile 4 Series graphics card, a 160GB hard drive and a SATA Optical Drive DVD Recorder . The inclusion of an optical drive, and the use of a Core 2 Duo processor and a good amount of memory, what really defines the TT outside any competitors of the same size.
Taking into account the rest of the high specifications that were a little disappointed to see a core level of graphics chips from Intel that shares system memory, but given the space and heat issues of Engineers were occupied, and the types of applications of the target audience is using, we can understand why Sony has chosen this path.
There is the usual array of USB ports, a LAN port, 0.3 megapixel webcam, memory card reader and a VGA output. There is also an ExpressCard slot and HDMI output. Along the front of the TT is a collection of discrete buttons for volume and mute, eject the optical drive, Wi-Fi on / off and a user can set the shortcut key.
Like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the TT includes a 3G modem to ensure that users can connect at any time if you desperately need an email to check or update your Twitter account. Sony is one of the T-Mobile SIM card with 30 days of free Internet access, but the modem is unlocked, allowing owners to use the operator you want.
11.1in screen, the view is impressive, and Sony has used its X-Black technology to ensure that nothing interfere with the dynamics of bright colors or the sharpness of the screen. While the top screen with a resolution of 1366 x 768, there is an HDMI port that can provide outputs HD 1080.
Although the keyboard is slightly smaller than a standard keyboard size, design and the keys to writing alone, including extensions and speed, no problem at all.
