    Fresh from the Sony website, I think the TT is an awesome little machine and I love it :D

    It's a little expensive, but with its little 11.1" screen its soo cute!

    Does anyone else share my feeling for this little laptop?

    I guess it is very slow in comparison to the Z though, its processor (this is the more expensive one) runs at 1.4GHz. Hmm.

    Oh well, I still like it!

    It will only be slower than the Z when you are effectively fully utilizing the 1.4Ghz Core 2 Duo CPU. Average users will hardly ever do that.

    I've been a big fan of the Vaio T series since the first model, the TR came out in 2003. I was anxiously waiting for the replacement to the TZ, and in features, its great but I've been disappointed by its design. I definitely feel its uglier than the TZ.

    The Z's design is more subdued and professional than the TTs in my opinion. Why is the TT's red lid option so bright, garish and ugly compared to the beautiful Bordeuax finish option on the TZ? I also dislike the glossy chrome material used on the mouse buttons and sides of the notebook.

    The Z has replaced the T series for me, its only slightly larger but much more powerful, I get a lot more bang for my buck, not as good battery life of course but if I buy one now, I can get the Mobility Bundle for free with an additional free standard battery, as far as I know, that doesn't apply to the TT, just the Z, SR and BZ.

    The physical size difference between the Z and TT is smaller than of the SZ and TZ before so I'd just get the Z instead.
