Another product that was released during Sony’s event today was their
VAIO T series of notebooks. We’ve talked about these products before
(back when they were just announced and we kept calling them ultrabooks)
but it seeing them in person is always nice. The VAIO T is pretty thin
and light, and definitely fits Intel’s description of what ultrabooks
are. This particular notebook carries Intel’s Core i5 processors (Ivy
Bridge, naturally), as well as Intel’s Smart Response Technology (HDD +
SSD). There will be two versions – one smaller, 11-inch model, and
another larger 13-inch model. The 13-inch model’s overall thickness is
just 18mm, so as far as specifications, weight and thickness is
concerned, the VAIO T series are ultrabooks. The overall finish and
build quality of the T series of notebooks is pretty good, and the
notebooks are crammed with Sony technologies, which include Rapid Wake +
ECO, xLOUD and Clear Phase audio technologies and motion gesture
recognition for hands free operation of the notebook. Sony has set the
price for the T11 at Php 47,999, while the bigger 13-inch version will
retail for Php 49,999.
