Sony Go More Portable

Published by Budda September 16th, 2005 in Gadgets, Laptops, Computing.

Sony have just got lighter and slimer with the forthcoming laptops, the VGC-TX1 HP and XP. You can see why people will be queueing round the block for Sony’s new VGC-TX1 series laptops - but what killer features does it have?

First up, it has a unique LED-lit 11.1inch widescreen that, for once, truly deserves to be called wafer-thin. it has a resolution of 1366×768, and has Sony’s X-Black tech for impressive colour and contrast.

Carbon fibre has been used in the chassis to keep the weight down in the 1.25kg laptop.

Both use Intel’s Ultra Low Voltage (ULV) Pentium-M processors to give a claimed stamina of seven hours, although presumably it’ll not stretch to that if you are using the instant-on DVD feature, or the dual-layer DVD burner.

Release is due in October, the two models - TX1HP at £1500, and the TX1XP at £1700. Start saving your pennies now.
