What You Should Know about the VGN-TXN15P/B

Not Much RAM for Multitasking

The more RAM your laptop has, the faster programs will run and the greater number of windows you can work in at one time. If your needs are simple and you rarely do more than two things at once on your PC, the relatively modest amount of memory that comes installed in inexpensive laptops will be enough. Today the standard amount of RAM shipped in most PCs is 2GB. If you like to multitask--say, you want to launch a search for a file and start backing up data to a disc while you watch a news video--you need more memory.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: size/weight, connectivity, biometric security, battery life, screen quality

Weaknesses: the price is kinda steep, but I found it worth it. No integrated webcam like most vaios.

Overall Evaluation: This one is a winner. If portability is a must for you, look no further. the TX series is very small and light and not lacking any of the features of a larger notebook or even a desktop. In addition to the Wireless LAN, it also has bluetooth, and wireless WAN built in. also features fingerprint recognition and memory card readers, also built in. The battery life is phenominal, I've owned a handful of laptops in the past, and I was very impressed by how much time I got out of a charge with this one. The size is definitely the biggest selling point, I take it everywhere, and it doesn't dissapoint

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: sleek design, mobile, ultralight, battery life

Weaknesses: UPC speed, small keyboard (maybe)

Overall Evaluation: I was impressed by its ultralight weight and sleek design. After I played with it for a while, I really like its bright and crystal clear LCD. Although the words look small on it, but I can still read them comfortably. Its UPC is pretty fast for normal web-surfing, but you may need faster UPC for data mining and gaming. Its keyboard is too small to me, but should be ok to girls. Overall, I give it 4.5 star rating.
