Reviews for the Sony Vaio VGN-TX3HP

60% Here’s the real slim Sony – but is it a bit of a lightweight?
Source: vnunet.com Archive.org version
The diametric opposite of a desktop replacement both in terms of size and power, the Sony Vaio VGN-TX3HP has a lot in its favour, but £1,500 is a lot of money for not a lot of computer. Good things come in small packages, or so we’re told. Sony would certainly seem to think so, if its latest stylish notebook is anything to go by. Looks are always a matter of taste, but it’s hard not to appreciate the Sony Vaio VGN-TX3HP’s slim design.

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.

75.5%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
