There’s the old saying that you can never be too rich or too thin. Well, that old saying seems to be the operating strategies of laptop manufactures in recent months.

The amazing Sony Vaio Type T may have lost its thin crown to the MacBook Air, but Sony has revamped its slimline notebook recently and they look hot. The latest revisions and updates that have been released show that Sony is boosting the CPU from a Core 2 Duo U7500 (1.06GHz) to an ULV Core 2 Duo U7600 (1.2GHz).

In addition to the hardware upgrades, the exterior has undergone a makeover to showcase some pretty sexy designs in either a creme or graphite color. Also, it looks like that these are actual designs on the laptop and not skins like the original article suggests.

No other specs are mentioned, but I’m sure we’ll see more additions and updates the closer they get to the US as there’s no word on pricing or availability yet.
