    it looks like it's just a miniature version of th S series. i wouldn't trade my S170 with the T series cuz it's just underpowered compared to my S170 [ ;)]

    It really looks like a modified Fujitsu P7000. Sweet machine, but I'm sticking with my Fujitsu...even w/o my modular DVD-RW [V]

    The price should be lower as you get a little less in functionality. No CompactFlash and no modular bay. What it lacks in specs it does make up in style. Although I miss 'Vaio Purple'.

    Overall, it's a nice machine and I wouldn't mind playing with one for a while. Much more professional looking than the old TRs.
