PC Magazine have published a review of the Sony VAIO VGN-TXN15P ultraportable PC. 'The VAIO TXN15P is just an inch thick (10.7 by 7.5 by 1 inch, HWD), and at 2.8 pounds, puts precious little extra weight on your shoulders. When it comes to materials engineering, Sony isn't shy about using the latest trends. The lid is made up of carbon fiber, which is light, sturdy, and moldable. Just look at the cracker-thin screen that folds on top of the keyboard like a piece of paper. And don't think for a minute that the thinness of the screen compromises the brightness, because the 11.1-inch XBrite widescreen can light up an entire room like a fresh new bulb. It's ideal for in-flight DVD movies, photo slide shows, and multicell spreadsheets.
