Sony touches up the Series T notebooks plus others
I may’ve been slightly critical of Sony Vaios in the past, but these new Series T notebooks may be enough to make me change my mind. I’m such a sucker for graphic covers on products.
With a couple of updates, the series now has a 1.2GHz Core 2 Duo U7600 processor and 2GB of RAM.
