TT... What's the first thing that comes to mind when seeing these two letters put together? I don't know about you, but in our case, it's without a doubt the famous sports car from Audi, a vehicle most of us have coveted since it first appeared on the market.

The truth of the matter is that the Audi TT is not the only TT out there. And we're not talking about some other car developed by a competitor of the German company, but about something completely different, namely the Vaio TT notebook, one of the most ultra-portable Vaio systems to ever come out of Sony's design labs.

Launched back in the second half of 2008, Sony's Vaio TT has impressed everyone right from the start, due to its minute size (almost as small as some of the larger netbooks currently available on the market), its low weight, its very good level of performance, and, last, but certainly not least, its looks.

In fact, the TT carries on the legacy of stylish notebooks that's common throughout the entire Vaio family portable computing systems, but at the same time manages to keep the whole form factor at a very compact level. However, it does so at a very steep price point, which makes it a suitable solution especially for those people for whom money's not exactly a problem.

The Vaio TT is just the thing to use for working while on the go, but also provides very interesting multimedia playback options, probably the most important being that it's the smallest notebook to incorporate a Blu-ray optical drive, which, coupled with the fact that it also incorporates an HDMI interface, makes it the world's smallest high-definition capable player.

These are just a few introductory words, and it's now about time to start our tour of this very impressive, yet fairly inaccessible device.
