Reviews for the Sony Vaio VGN-TX2HP

80% Sony Vaio VGN-TX2HP laptop Review
Source: Pocket Lint
Sony has quite a reputation to uphold with its ultraportable range, especially with companies like Fujitsu Siemens and Lenovo closing in on their style and size formats. Fortunately, Sony is ahead of the game and judging by the VAIO VGN-TX2HP it has little to worry about. This notebook by all rights should be a hot product but the screen technology is no new that there are kinks we just can’t get over. Once Sony solves the bulb-flair problem in reduced light this will be the very best ultraportable on the market - in the meantime it’s just plain great.

80% As compact as a fashion magazine but costing an arm and a leg; it can only be Sony's new TX series notebook

If you can't stomach Apple's Mac operating system (see our Mac Mini review and Macbook Pro review), but require a notebook to impress the style-conscious, Sony's TX range should fit the bill. The TX2-HP is the latest member of the gang and, as expected, its small, sleek physique quickly turned heads in the office. Inside this compact case lies an Ultra Low Voltage (ULV) Intel Pentium M 733 processor, which runs at 1.1GHz and employs 2MB of L2 cache and a 400MHz front side bus.

It is also available as a low voltage version with very small current consumption.

11.1":

This screen diagoal is quite large for tablets but small for subnotebooks. Some convertibles are also represented with that size.

Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.

1.2 kg:

This weight is typical for big tablets, small subnotebooks, ultrabooks and convertibles with a 10-11 inch display-diagonal.

Sony: Sony Corporation is a multinational conglomerate corporation headquartered in Japan. Sony is one of the leading manufacturers of electronics, video, communications, video game consoles, and information technology products for the consumer and professional markets. Its name is derived from sonus, the Latin word for sound. The company was founded 1946 with another name and renamed in 1958. Sony Corporation is the electronics business unit and the parent company of the Sony Group, which is engaged in business through its five operating segments—electronics, games, entertainment (motion pictures and music), financial services and other. Sony is a notebook manufacturer of medium size according international market shares.

From 2014, Sony has reduced the production of Vaio laptops and finally discontinued them. Sony is still present in the smartphone and tablet market, yet not among the Top 5 manufacturers.

80%: This rating is not convincing. The laptop is evaluated below average, this is not really a recommendation for purchase.
