Sony Vaio T gets CULV upgrade, still pricey

Sony’s computers have been sort of the Apple of the PC market, with lavish and stylish designs at a premium price point. This new update is no different, with the previously phased out Vaio 11.1″ T series coming back with CULV processors.

The Sony Style site lists three CPU variants – a 1.2GHz dual-core Celeron SU2300, a 1.4GHz Core 2 Duo SU9400 and a 1.6GHz Core 2 Duo SU9600. All of them carry the GMA 4500MHD chipset and can either have 4GB or a whopping 8GB of RAM. Other configurations include choosing between any of the Windows 7 variants, up to 512GB SSD or 500GB HDD (or both, amazingly enough), upgrade to a Blu-ray DVD player or put in add-ons like a TV tuner or fingerprint scanner.

Another excellent feature is the battery life which can pump out at least 11 hours of usage up to a maximum of 17 hours. Yes, that’s 17 hours and you can actually fall asleep and this netbook would still be running.

Of course, don’t be surprised if your pocket weeps a bit when you grab one of these. The cheapest config goes for an amazing $1,405.
