Sony VAIO TX850p

NotebookReview has a review on the Sony VAIO TX850p ultra portable notebook PC. The Sony VAIO TX850p is powered by an Intel Core Solo processor Ultra Low Voltage (ULV) U1400 1.2GHz processor, 1GB RAM, integrated GMA950 graphics and a 80GB hard drive.

Though small the Sony VAIO TX850p is capable to haveÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â DVD+/- Burner built-in. It has also a 11.1-inch WXGA LCD display, WiFi 802.11a/b/g, Bluetooth, fingerprint reader and a Memory Stick/SD card slot.

NotebookReview’s Conclusion

I would highly recommend the Sony VAIO TX850p for the travelling user (or one who, like me, just likes small devices), who isn’t power-hungry, who is versed in computer cleanup and doesn’t mind giving their machine a little TLC.

I would not recommend this laptop to someone with a budget, gamer, a user who deals with the manipulation of multimedia (i.e. video encoding, audio compression, etc.), or an inexperienced or clumsy user.
