Impressive


I use this for word processing, email, searching the web and for viewing other applications.

It's a pleasure to use and the keyboard is great providing you turn off the function that lets it jump around if you knock the trackpad - easy to do in a rush.

I put more memory in than the 512mb supplied and found that made it quicker by quite a lot.

It does the job and it as hassle free as most Vaios (3rd owned). It also has a tiny footprint, is pretty quiet and lasts a long time on battery - especially if you can take the option to turn off the optical drive.

It's expensive but if you need an ultraportable it's up there with the best.

Rating: 7.8
Verdict

The VAIO VGN-TX2XP/L is as slim, lightweight and elegant as you'd expect a Sony ultraportable notebook to be. It includes an internal DVD rewriter, has a high-contrast widescreen display and delivers 5-hour-plus battery life.

Typical price

£ 1446

Review Although it's missing some features (chiefly HSDPA and GPS), Nokia's E63 is a well-thought-out, ergonomic and affordable smartphone.
