Beautifully crafted with stunning features and battery life. Only the warranty disappoints. While Sony's new VGN-TX3XP is "merely" an evolution of the TX2 series, it still has the power to wow all who set eyes on it. Few ultraportables can match the TX3 for sheer size and weight. It weighs in at only 1.2kg and measures just 272 x 195 x 29mm - the same as the TX2. Admittedly, it does sacrifice screen size for this: it has an 11.1in TFT, while most ultraportables opt for a 12.1in, 1,280 x 800 display. But despite the size, the TX3's screen boasts a 1,366 x 768 resolution. This is a 16:9 ratio rather than the typical 16:10 offered by laptops, making it a better candidate for watching the odd movie. And if this appeals, the Sony's X-black screen will happily oblige with an impressive level of brightness and vibrancy (although it is glossy and thus susceptible to reflections).

If you’re after the ultimate ultra-portable laptop PC, you may not need to look any further than Sony’s astonishing VAIO TX-Series (from £1498 ex. VAT) - it redefines the meaning of world class in mobile computing. Built from carbon fibre that’s twice as strong, a third lighter and four times more rigid than normal plastics, it contains some of the most advanced technology ever to feature in the VAIO range. Sony’s new TX3-Series laptops offer an impressive mix of cutting-edge technology, eye-catching design and hardware-based security. One of the most technically advanced and adventurously styled laptops Sony has ever created, the TX3 sports Intel’s Core Solo Ultra-Low Voltage (ULV) processor so you can work on the move for an impressive 9 hours on battery power. Sleek design is just one cool element of this super-sexy ultra-portable

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.

Comment

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on Mobile Intel 945GM chipset. It is a faster clocked version of the GMA 900 and supports no hardware T&L (Transform & Lightning) accelleration (which is required for some games).

These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Intel Core Solo: Single core version of the Core Duo and successor of the Intel Pentium M; Because of the 65nm reduced structure width also smaller current consumption than Pentium M (maximally 27 Watts); the performance is comparable with the equivalent clocked Pentium M (somewhat faster because of a few improvements).


U1400: » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


11.10":

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.
