Editorial Review
A notebook PC should be extremely light. I want to be able to use my notebook for longer periods on battery power only. The luxuriously sleek and ultra-portable VAIO(R) TX notebook boasts an incredibly small and lightweight form-factor encased in super-durable premium carbon fiber. During the molding process, a gel coat resin is applied to the carbon fiber casing, exposing the multiple layers of carbon and providing a cool brushed look and crisscross pattern. This best-in-class PC weighs only 2.84 lbs, is less than 1? thin, and features an incredible 4-10 hours of battery life per charge to deliver true mobility and efficient use, It features a generous 11.1" WXGA widescreen LCD display with Sony's original XBRITE(TM) LCD technology and white LED backlight for higher brightness levels thanstandard displays. The result: deeper blacks, brighter whites, true-to-life color, and razorsharp detail. And with the anti-reflective coating to minimize reflection, you can enjoy a beautifully clear image from almost any viewing angle. 11.1 Razor-Thin Panel TFT with LED backlight for brilliant colors and clarity / Resolution - 1366x768 Wireless 802.11a/b/g WiFi networking connectivity / Bluetooth Processor - Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 Video RAM - 224MB Total Available Graphics Memory; Chipset - Intel 945GMS; VGA out w/ Smart Display Sensor Inputs and Outputs - Ethernet Port - 1; Headphone Jack - 1; i.LINK(R) Firewire Interface - 1 (4-pin) interface IEEE1394; Memory Stick(R) Media Slot - 1; Modem Jack - 1; SecureDigital Slot - 1; Microphone Input - 1; Port Replicator Connector(s) - 1 (Bottom); USB Port(s) - 2 (2.0 compliant); VGA Output(s) - 1; DC-In - 1 Ethernet Protocol - Fast Ethernet (RJ-45); Ethernet Speed- 10Base-T/100Base-TX Modem Type - Integrated V.92/V.90 modem (RJ-11) Operating System - Windows Vista Business; Anti-Virus and Recovery Software - Norton Internet Security 2007 60

First impressions after a few hours

2007-06-09
Just got this thing yesterday, and let me share the first impressions before they fade...

Read the specs; I'm sure they are all correct.

I'm changing from XP to Vista. My old computer was 3+ years old, and of course had a lot of "junk" in the system, and I assumed that the new computer would speed things up a bit.

The start up time and shut down times are VERY LONG. Surprising. Longer than my old, cluttered computer. Kind of annoying, but this is Vista, perhaps that is it's problem.

This computer: I haven't put anything of my own on it, it's straight out of the box so far. And, so far, I only have 60% of my memory free. "47.4 GB free of 68.3 GB". THAT is suprising. I've heard Vista was a hog, but I didn't check it too closely -- thought that they would have made a good package to compensate. Guess I'll keep that external drive after all...

PROS:
It is SMALL. Lightweight. Smaller and lighter than imaginable. The biometric fingerprint seems goofy, but works really well, really fast. Not a gimmick. Screen is crisp. Typing is fine. If you're used to laptops, the even smaller keyboard is just fine. Battery life is good. Also, I braced myself for a bunch of the free stuff that is always slapped onto these computers, and thought I'd spend time removing "trial offers". Nope. Clean, minimal junk on there. Free 60 days Symantec, which is fine, free 30 days Sprint, which is also fine. A couple of ads for sony movies and the like, but otherwise, clean to start. Whew.

So...no great shocks so far, love the small small small size of this unit, and the light light light weight and the long battery life. So far, no buyers remorse. Recommend you go to the sony store and power it up and off -- see if that lag time is okay with you.

UPDATE: I've had this product for two months, give it a thumbs down. The video sucks; if I play a DVD or even a little 8 second movie from my digital camera -- it stutters and sticks. Maddening. And now, typing this while conected to the internet -- too much lag time. I find that it easier to write in a word document and cut and paste into internet email, or boxes like this -- the system can't keep up with my typing speed. I use my old laptop most of the time except when I travel (I'd use it, except my battery won't charge anymore and I can't replace it) -- this one sucks.
