When it comes to the T-series, are you getting anything more than “Sony Style”.  Not really!

These overpriced laptops are quite well made, beautiful to look at, and they may just win a beauty contest for their efforts, but they certainly aren’t worth the cash you’ll be forking over for such mediocre computing power.

What will £1,247 buy you when it comes to computing power?  Not much more than £300-£500 will.

• Processor - Intel Core 2 Duo SU9300 / 1.2 GHz ( Dual-Core )
• RAM - 2 GB (installed) / 4 GB (max) - DDR3 SDRAM - 800 MHz ( 2 x 1 GB )
  
• Hard Drive - 120 GB - Serial ATA-150 - 5400 rpm
• Operating System - Microsoft Windows Vista Business
• Screen - 11.1′ TFT 1366 x 768 ( WXGA ) - X-black
• Optical Drive - DVD±RW (±R DL) / DVD-RAM - integrated
• Graphics - Intel GMA 4500MHD
• Bluetooth - Yes
• Notebook Camera - Integrated - 0.3 Megapixel
• Warranty - 1 year warranty

This notebook is made by Sony, who at this point may just be getting by solely on their reputation for quality alone.  I don’t doubt that this notebook is an extremely quality product, and that it will last a long time, but the specs just don’t add up when it comes to overall value.

Look at some of the £400 or less laptops I’ve reviewed, and you’ll quickly notice that spec wise, this just doesn’t measure up.

The only saving grace is the graphics card, and even that isn’t all that impressive.  It’s underpowered (1.2ghz processor), and the ram and hard drive space are equal or less than that of a laptop half it’s price.  Add to that the fact that you get an 11″ screen, and a .3 megapixel (that’s right, .3) integrated web cam, and it’s simply too much to ignore.  Speaking of ignoring things, ignore this laptop.
