Computer and gadget makers always find ways to title their product with world’s thinnest or world’s lightest. Sony has just unveiled new notebooks in their VAIO® TT Series, which is so-called the world’s lightest notebook with Blu-ray disc support.
The new Sony VAIO TT notebook shouldn’t be the world’s lightest notebook as it weighs 2.87 pounds or 1.3 KG, but it’s the lightest notebook that is built with Blu-ray disc technology. This notebook is also ultrathin which has a thinness of less than 1 inch. Some models are capable of playing Blu-ray disc movies in full HD 1080p resolution when connected to a compatible HDTV. The units are not only restricted to playback, they can also record, store and play back personal content on high-capacity BD media.
The new Sony notebook features a screen that measures 11.1 inch diagonally, backed by Sony’s XBRITE-DuraView™ LCD technology, to deliver 100 percent of color saturation for true-life high quality pictures. And the technology also helps in producing energy-effecient white LED backlight that gives you viewing of photos in crystal-clear resolution.
With such a great display, it makes it the best for viewing HD Blu-ray content on this notebook. And furthermore, the screen’s extra wide dimensions fit exactly the usual aspect ratio of 16:9 that HD movies are shot at, which you don’t get those annoying black bars seen on narrow screen.
The TT model notebook is also equipped with HDMI output connector which allows you to hook it up to bigger screen, such as an HD TV, for viewing the HD contents.
