The Sony VAIO T series (pictured) gave us a glimpse of exceptional mobility even before Netbooks were a glimmer in Intel's eyes. With a sleek body and excellent battery life, this 11.1-inch laptop targets frequent business travelers willing to pay a premium for style and portability.

Editors' note:

Sony has officially announced the VAIO TT for the US market. This story has been amended to reflect the latest updates.

The latest iteration, the VAIO TT, is more than just a platform update. According to Sony US, there will be two models available. The cheaper edition will come in three color options: Champagne gold, crimson red and silk black with the following specifications.

Core 2 Duo SU9300 1.2GHz processor

Integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics engine

11.1-inch 1,366 x 768-pixel LED display

2GB RAM

160GB harddisk

DVD writer

802.11a/b/g/n and Bluetooth

Windows Vista Home Premium (gold and red)/Vista Business Edition (black)

The premium black carbon-fiber model not only bumps up the Core 2 Duo processor to an SU9400 edition (1.4GHz) with 4GB of RAM, it is also equipped with dual 128GB solid-state drives (giving a total of 256GB capacity) and a Blu-ray writer. Both features have not been seen in any laptop in this category to date. Though currently only Sony US has announced the new range, we expect the VAIO TT to start popping up in Asia in the very near future.
