Sony VAIO TZ Ultraportable Images and Specs Appear

News of the upcoming 11.1" screen Sony VAIO TZ notebook that was leaked last week came without much information and no images. Thanks to some information from a French website retailer we now have images and full specs for the VAIO TZ11MN/N and VAIO TZ11XN/B.

The VAIO TZ11MN/N appears mostly the same as the TZ11XN/B except for the silver lid coloration instead of black on the XN/B, you get 1GB of RAM instead of the 2GB with the XN/B and the hard drive is 80GB instead of 100GB on the XN/B. The XN/B is rumored to have a carbon fiber lid -- though the specs sheet does not confirm this. No release date is set, but a summer launch is assumed.

Some highlights for the VAIO TZ11 are:

• 2.62lbs of weight
• Integrated optical drive
• Unique rounded hinge design
• LED backlight screen
• 1.06GHz Core 2 Duo processor
• Built-in Motion Eye camera

Detailed specs and images for each model are below -- anyone think that keyboard redesign looks a lot like the MacBook keyboard?
