Gone is the shiny chrome strip along the hinge, along with the plastic band lining the lid. In general, too, the Fit does away with a lot of the decorative extras used to dress up last year's T series. You wouldn't know they were there unless you knew to look (or if you got the laptop so hot and bothered it started to spew hot air, which is also a possibility). What you might appreciate, however, are the hidden fans: they're not on the sides or even on the bottom, but tucked improbably into the area between the screen and the keyboard. To be honest, we're not sure unsightly hinges were really a problem that needed solving, but we dig the seamless look nonetheless. Available in black, silver and pink, it also has an extra-long lid that covers the hinge. While the Fit and T series laptops both have brushed-metal lids, the Fit follows up with a matching brushed-aluminum palm rest - a more dapper touch than the T series' plain magnesium, which could easily be mistaken for plastic. We'll put the lower-end Fit E through its paces some other day, but for now, we're here to tell you the higher-end Fit is prettier than its predecessor, if not necessarily better-made.
In fact, though, it actually consists of two very different notebooks: the Fit E, which replaces the E laptops (natch), and the Fit, whose premium stylings make it most similar to the existing T series. Given that the Fit series is the spiritual successor to the entry-level VAIO E series and the mid-range T line, it'd be reasonable to suppose it ranks somewhere in between, with a design that's a loose mash-up of the two. The Fit is prettier than its predecessor, if not necessarily better-made.
