    Somehow this advert doesn't really tell you a lot.
    And that comment is oone of those. So simple but you just have to smile.

    Flying laptops indeed.

    Do you think I could teach my SZ to do the same? Maybe ask it to fly around behind/next to me?

    I saw these ads a few months ago, that is definitely the TZ series. I'm wondering what their UX replacement will be like, its stated that new models are coming soon on PortableOne's website.

    Let's wait to see what b|lly's source is.

    As i said, it was my mistake to assume it was the ad.

    I did not see this ad before, the flying one. First time i see it, it looks rather lame :)

    I got the info from my supplier, cant tell who, but I hope TT info will be up soon - actually its the only serie we are waiting for now (besides UX).

    Hmmm...
    I just thought, lets have a look in google.
    All I got was Notebookreview... the Website with the add...

    I also noticed something:
    On my SZ's German (!!) keyboard T & Z are next to each other, thus it could be a typing error.
    I don't know how many keyboards have this layout...

    Just before people get overly excited.

    NR => NS
    CR => CS

    SZ => SR
    TZ => TR

    Hm, makes sense.
    But:
    FZ -> FW
    AR -> AW

    or am I wrong there?

    Sadly as far as I'm aware there is not predicting these companies.

    Not really but I think it's safe to assume it has the Core 2 Duo SU9400 1.40GHz ULV CPU. Maybe an option for SL9400 1.86GHz.

    So the TZ's replacement will be announced on Monday then nixon? Same for the UX series?

    I'm quite sure it will use the SU9300 and SU9400 processors and in Asia, the lower end models will have the Celeron 723 processor. The Celeron M has been an option on the Vaio T series in Asia.

    I see no reason why the name would not be TT, since I got the info from my supplier, who is linked directly to sony :)

    But, sorry guys, no info today. As Nixon said, more to come on monday.

    Is it me or does anyone else buy a Vaio and sells it a few months before the new series comes out? I have done that for the T,TXN,TZ, and now the TT? Im glad Vaios have nice resell values =)

    TT just sounds so unlike Sony. have you ever heard sony products called OO, MM or UU?

    Sony should just abandon the name T already, after the massive TZ models recall. Fresh start with a new series and a new name.

    Never the t series has always been the creme de la creme of all of sony electronics. T series in the Vaio and camera lines they always bring something innovative and unique to the series abandoning that will lose all that brand equity it would make great business sense. I for one would like to see the T series carried on until we don't need computers no more ie AI and we wage a ware against the machines and human kind

    I've seen that the prices for all the Vaio T series has ranged from close to $2000 to over $3000 for the highest end configs. I hope it can be lower though.

    I assume you do not mean U.S dollars since the E4200 starts at $1999 in the U.S and the Vaio TT will start at the same pricepoint as well. Though for that price, the E4200 comes with a 64gb SSD standard whereas a Vaio at that price will come with a slow 1.8" 4200rpm HDD.

    Finally the TZ is updated! I am waiting this moment for the last year and a half...So at the end we have a hole new model instead of a simple Montevina refresh. My hopes are for blacklit keyboard, HDMI and of couse at least 8hrs of battery life. :)
