The a1 was unveiled 12 years after the T900 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the Sony a1 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony T900 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before diving straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a concise summation of how the a1 scores versus the T900 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you have chosen at that time. Following is the front view dimensions comparison of the a1 versus the T900.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the a1 and T900 is 61 and 96 respectively.

Quite often, it's hard to visualize the gap between sensor sizes only by reading technical specs. The picture here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the a1 and T900.

As you have seen, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The a1 using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Sony a1 will offer you extra detail having an extra 38MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more modern a1 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
