Overview

The VAIO VGN-TX is a subnotebook released in 2005 by Sony. It sets its focus on portability over everything else. Thats why the VGN-TX could be seen as a low-end device when compared to Sonys other offerings from the time. Nontheless, the VGN-TX suprises with its quality and design, spoting a metallic gray carbonfibre case. What makes this case special is the fact, that is a two-piece unit, meaning that there is only a single seperation beween the upper and lowercase. This results in a very sturdy and durable, yet light and comfortable case. Just like the main case, the display case is also made from carbonfibre, as well as the keyboard.
