Sony storming the market with new light weight SONY VAIO T350P

If you're a small-business owner, a road warrior, or an employee who must remain in frequent contact with the office at any cost, then you're a prime candidate for the ultraportable Sony VAIO T350P. The VAIO T350P's tiny case, extended battery life, and ample connectivity options (including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and--a first for a consumer laptop--built-in cellular) help you get your job done while you're away from the office.

Measuring 10.5 inches wide, 8 inches deep, and 1.2 inches thick and weighing 3.1 pounds, the VAIO T350P consumes as much bag space.

This tiny three-pounder is the first notebook to feature a built-in EDGE cellular modem, which means you can connect whenever and wherever you want in the U.S. at speeds up to 160 Kbps.

Like other T series models, the T350P is small and stylish. At 10.7 x 8.1 x 1.3 inches, it’s compact enough to slip into a briefcase, yet has enough room for a dual layer DVD burner on the right side. The color of the lid is an executive-chic midnight blue, and Sony offers two other color options (burgundy and silver) online. To the right of the 10.6-inch widescreen you’ll find the antenna for the EDGE connection, which sits flush with the system.

Sony deserves kudos for being the first to market a consumer notebook with a cellular modem built in. It’s fair to ask whether the Sony VAIO VGN-T350P is worth the investment.
