Sony VAIO VGN-TX1XP
Trusted Reviews has a look at the VGN-TX1XP from Sony. A light and compact notebook with a small screen, but some great features.
Related Posts:Back in June I looked at the Sony VAIO T2XP and fell in love with its mix of stylish design, slim proportions, light weight and full features. In fact I liked the T2XP so much that I arranged with Sony to give one away to one lucky reader who filled out the TrustedReviews Reader Survey. Never one to sit back on its laurels, Sony has decided to update the the T2XP with the equally lovely VAIO TX1XP.
With dimensions of 272.4 x 195.1 x 28.5mm (WxHxD) and a weight of 1.25kg the TX1XP is as slim and light as you’d want it to be. OK, it’s a little larger and heavier than the Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook P1510, but the TX1XP has an integrated optical drive and a PC Card slot – two things that Fujitsu-Siemens had to leave out of its baby.
At first glance the TX1XP looks very similar to its older sibling, but Sony has made a couple of important changes. The most obvious change is the screen - whereas the T2XP employed a 10.6in widescreen display, the TX1XP sports an 11.1in panel. Also the resolution of the screen has been bumped up slightly to 1,366 x 768 - a resolution that I usually see associated with large, high definition LCD TVs.
