Sony Series T Ultrabook Arrives This Month
Sony’s new Vaio T ultrabook takes the Vaio line out of the weird limbo it had been in for the past few years, where it hadn’t had a true, comprable laptop to the droves of hordes coming out. Though the Euro model of the T Series curiously came out in as Sandy Bridge, the Australian version will only come with i5 and i7 Ivy Bridge.

Sony Vaio P Is A Worthy Upgrade With Accelerometer, Touchpads, GPS
Well, well, well. If it isn’t another attempt by Sony at that ill-conceived “not a netbook, it’s an ultraportable!” market. After rumours, they’ve done good: inbuilt GPS, inbuilt 3G and an accelerometer. Plus, strange optical touchpads either side of the LCD.
