Sony launches VAIO T11 and T13 Ultrabooks

With the announcement of VAIO T11 and T13 Ultrabook models, it seems that Sony has finally decided to step up into Ultrabook market. The model numbers indicate that they'll have 11 and 13.3 inch screens respectively and will offer many of the features we've come to anticipate from this form factor, comprising a 17.8mm-thick magnesium and aluminum body with a weight of around 3.5 pounds for the T13 model.

Both the models are equipped with batteries that give up to 9 hours of battery time which is really appreciable!

Hardware Specifications

Up till now, Sony has only disclosed the details of VAIO T13 model, which will be having an Ultra-Low Voltage (ULV) Intel Core i3 Sandy Bridge processor, a 4GB of RAM, and integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics. Storage choices include a single SSD or a hybrid one, that pairs a 320GB hard drive with a second 32GB SSD to escalate system boot times and responsiveness as exact capacity options weren't exposed.

Features

These include:

·         Screen resolution of 1366x768 pixels

·         1.3MP built-in camera

·         802.11n Wi-Fi

·         Bluetooth 3.0

·         HDMI port

·         VGA port

·         USB 3.0 ports

·         Ethernet ports

·         Media card reader

·         Touchpad with gesture support

To protect personal data from unauthorized usage, the company is also providing a 90-day trial version of Intel's Anti-Theft Service with its Ultrabooks.

Sony’s latest VAIO T series product line up is likely to launch in the US later this month, while in UK its planned for early June.

So if you are planning to buy an Ultrabook, I suggest you to wait for some months as Sony will definitely upgrade its laptops from Sandy Bridge to Intel's latest architecture earlier after the low-voltage variants of IVB re in June.
