The good: Extremely portable design; Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi; integrated double-layer DVD burner and instant-on player; very long battery life; excellent multimedia controls for a business machine.

The bad: Very expensive; cramped keyboard.

The bottom line: Though it's pricey, the Sony VAIO VGN-TX17 delivers a great combination of business and entertainment features, long battery life, and unparalleled connectivity in an incredibly ultraportable package.

My first Sony Vaio. Bought it some 5 months ago



Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Extremely portable & cool to have around you when requiring mobile connectivity to the web
Cons: Increasingly becoming laggy over time altho I have only used it for office apps
Opinion:
Still a good buy although pricey. Straight notebook for portability, basic office work or to view DVDs / listen to CDs. A big no no for games like Guild War Factions.

 

Simply the Best for those who can afford it



Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: Perfect gadget for jetsetter
Cons: Nothing
Opinion:
Used it for few months now. This is the best so far to compare with my previous lightweight laptops including ibm, fujitsu and acers. It is the lightest laptop with the best 11.2 in screen and dvd writer built-in. Other lighweight do not come with built in dvd writer. Overall quality is the top of the rest. It has a nice button layout to start dvd and music without have to run windows. I run the digital TV on it without problem. The tactical keyboard is good. Connectivity is excellent. Classy and super slim design become object of envy for many.

 

Excellent portability



Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Very lightweight, acceptable computing power and great stamina
Cons: Expensive, but you pay for what you get
Opinion:
Have been using this notebook for a little over 6 months now and was at first sceptical about its service quality. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the prompt services granted and am now glad that I chose the TX17 over the Fujitsu P7120. No regrets!!
