A little bit longer than expected but Sony came out with the official announcement about their newest Blu-ray laptop, which as a coincidence is also the lightest in the world. Dubbed Sony Vaio TT it’s a 11.1-inch beauty that only weighs 2.87-pounds because it’s made of carbon-fiber.

Now onto the real specs, the new Vaio TT is going to use Intel’s Centrino 2 technology, will pack an XBRITE-DuraView LCD that delivers 100 percent color saturation and ideal for 16:9 HD movies, a dual channel 256GB (128GB X 2) solid state drive (SSD) setup with RAID, energy-efficient white LED backlight, HDMI output. Did I mention that it uses Sprint Wireless WAN technology (EV-DO Revision A) and runs on Windows Vista ?

If you like it, then you should know the prices for the sub-1-inch thick Vaio TT, they start at $2,700 for the Blu-ray versions and $2,750 if you need the SSD. Nothing about the battery yet, but we’ll have more info soon.

Like always, Sony managed to come up with another great piece of VAIO. This time it’s the 16.4-inch VAIO FW that really got our attention both with the design and the big/wide display. But wait, there are things that should be said about it, like the fact that it has a built-in Blu-ray drive, the design or maybe the brand new Centrino 2 platform?

The base product will start at $999 and includes a 2.26GHz Intel Core2 Duo P8400 mobile processor, 3GB PC2-6400 DDR2 SDRAM, Multiformat DVD±RW/CD-RW, 16.4″ WXGA LCD widescreen display with XBRITE-ECO technology and 1600 x 900 resolution, 250GB Serial ATA hard drive (5400 rpm), ATI Mobility RADEON HD 3470 graphics card with 256MB (up to 1530MB total available video memory), built in Bluetooth, i.LINK (IEEE 1394) port and 3 USB 2.0 ports and Memory Stick PRO slot.

The laptop weighs 6.4 lbs, is just 1.5-inch thin for portable power, has a lithium-ion battery and runs on Windows Vista Home Premium Edition SP1.

To be honest I’d definitely buy one if it wasn’t that heavy. If you want to make up your mind the guys at NotebookReview got their hands on one for a test drive.
