More Vaio TT Specifications Emerge

Update: The Vaio TT has officially been announced by Sony. All of the specs below are accurate. Check it out.

According to SonyStyle’s Vaio Advisor, the four model names for the unannounced TT series that we helped uncover over the weekend will be VGN-TT190EIN (gold), VGN-TT190EIR (red), VGN-TT190NIB (black), and VGN-TT190UBX (premium carbon fiber black). The Vaio Advisor also has helped us piece together some specifications on each. Let’s start off with the powerhouse VGN-TT190UBX, which is seriously one of the most fully loaded ultra portable laptops we’ve ever seen:

VGN-TT190UBX:

  • 11.1 inch LED screen with XBRITE-DuraView™ (1366×768)
  • Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor SU9400 at 1.4ghz
  • 4GB of DDR3 RAM
  • 2.87 pounds
  • (2x) Blu-Ray writer, reader / DVD writer, reader / CD writer, reader
  • 250gb (128GBx2 RAID) solid state hard drive
  • HDMI output, 2 USB ports
  • Built-in camera
  • Memory stick Pro, SD slot
  • Bluetooth, 802.11b/g/n, ethernet
  • Windows Vista Ultimate

Common features of the VGN-TT190EIN, VGN-TT190EIR, VGN-TT190NIB:

  • 11.1 inch LED screen with XBRITE-DuraView™ (1366×768)
  • Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor SU9300 at 1.2ghz
  • Up to 4GB of DDR3 RAM
  • 2.87 pounds
  • Hard drive options max out at 160GB (non SSD, SATA 5400rpm)
  • DVD writer, reader / CD writer, reader
  • HDMI output, 2 USB ports, VGA output
  • Built-in camera
  • Memory stick Pro, SD slot
  • Bluetooth, 802.11a/b/g/n, ethernet; we are unsure which model will have the EVDO that was cleared by FCC
  • Windows Vista® Home Premium (VGN-TT190EIN/VGN-TT190EIR), or Windows Vista® Business (VGN-TT190NIB can also get XP Pro)

Unfortunately, we still do not have any pictures. I honestly don’t expect anything from Sony today, because the FCC documents requested secrecy until October 1st. It is encouraging however that the specifications are somewhat available on SonyStyle, however. Here is a PDF we’ve uploaded that contains all of the specifications directly from SonyStyle’s Vaio Advisor.

Vaio TT Information Coming Monday?

Update2: The TT was officially released today. Check it out.

Update: We found specifications on the TT series at SonyStyle’s Vaio Advisor Tool.

According to several forum users at NotebookReview, the next TZ series will be labeled as the TT series and more information about these notebooks will debut on Monday. b|lly started the rumor fire by simply stating, “Its finally here! The next TZ serie will be TT. Hope to get specs and prices soon. It suppose to hit europe in 3-4 weeks time.” Another poster by the name of Nixon chimed in and added, “You’ll find out Monday what it’s called and what it is.” and confirmed that it’s not a netbook, but a “notebook.” We agree.

This image above is from a FCC DTS report. After spending some time reading over various PDF’s, we can now confirm the specific model numbers in the TT series will be PCG-4Q1L, PCG-4Q3L, and PCG-4Q4L. We can also confirm that this new Vaio TT series will have 802.11a/b/g/n, bluetooth, and the PCG-4Q1L will have EVDO. Why do we know this? Because of the aforementioned FCC filings. Check out the image below from the FCC Label ID and Location Info (click for larger version):

Internet retailer B&H has also somewhat confirmed this new series of Sony laptops by recently modifying their listing for the VAIO Privacy Filter for TZ laptops by changing the title to “Vaio Privacy Filter for TZ and TT Series.” With this in mind, it’s fair to assume that the TT series will probably have the same 11.1 inch screen as the TZ.

Stay tuned to Sony Insider for more information when we recieve it. This news is a Sony Insider exclusive, brought to you here first. Thanks, Ascariss.
