Review of the shop
CNET product brief
Description: The Sony VAIO TXN15P/B is a 2.9-pound, ultra portable notebook computer.Compared to other ultra portable notebooks on the market, it is midpriced at around $1,975.Has Wi-Fi (wireless connectivity) built-in.
Pros: Has only a 2.9-pound weight, which is somewhat lighter than some similarly priced notebooks.Also, this notebook has 1366 x 768 native screen resolution.This is higher than the average notebook on the market today, but is to be expected for a notebook of this price.
Cons: Only has a Core Solo processor, which is considerably less efficient than some similarly priced notebooks.For example, the Lenovo ThinkPad X60, a 3.7-pound notebook at around $1, 990, has a Core 2 Duo processor.Also, this notebook comes with Microsoft Windows XP Professional OS, which is less favorable than some similarly priced notebooks.For example, the Panasonic ToughBook T7, a 3.3-pound notebook at around $2, 060, comes with Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows Vista business/ XP Professional downgrade OS.Integrated graphics controllers that rely on shared RAM are sometimes an acceptable trade-off for budget-minded users.
Suitability: Suitable for those who consider weight the most important feature.Archive your digital videos using this computer's DVD writer.Includes advanced word processing software; it comes with plenty of features for most writers.Make your home movies snappier by using the bundled video software to edit material uploaded from a digital videocam.If you have a wireless network at home, wirelessly browse the Internet from any room in your house with this Wi-Fi enabled laptop.
Value: Overall, this notebook's features seem a bit weak for its price, compared to most other notebooks.
Suggestions: (1) Given this device's Wi-Fi capability, you may want to get a wireless access point for your home, so that you can browse the Web more conveniently from any room.(2) To get the most out of this computer's Bluetooth capability, you could have a Bluetooth-enabled headset, handheld or other device, and be able to link it wirelessly to your computer within a range of 20-or-so feet inside the same room.
