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. With these materials in such a small formfactor, its a wonder, that the VGN-TX only weighs around 1.28kg.
As its a small and portable subnotebook, the VGN-TX came only equipped with a range of Single-Core processors between 1.1GHz and 1.3GHz, consuming between 25 and 45W, depending on the chosen CPU.
