Notebook Sony VGN-TXN15P / B

The VGN-TXN15P/B is impressively feature-rich for a laptop that measures 10.7 by 7.7 by 1.2 inches (width by depth by height). It includes the standard connections–such as network and modem jacks, a monitor port, two USB ports, and a PC Card slot–plus welcome extras, such as a fingerprint reader and a FireWire port. Our test unit’s instant-on AV button saved time and battery life by bypassing the Windows Vista Business operating system, allowing us to view thumbnails of photos on a Memory Stick or SD Card or to play a CD or DVD. For the latter activity, however, you’ll need headphones, as the stereo speakers are shrill.
Icons are tiny on the 11.1-inch WXGA screen, but text and graphics are bright and easy to read and see, thanks to an antireflective coating. A combination keystroke lowers and raises screen brightness; unfortunately, I couldn’t find a way to disable the annoying high-pitched beep that sounded each time I used it.
CPU: 1.2-GHz Core Solo U1400 • Display Size (inches): 11.1 • Wide Screen: Yes • Total HD Size (GB): 80 • Min. Weight (lbs.): 2.9
The VGN-TXN15P/B offers excellent battery life but slow speed. Our test unit’s 7800-mAh battery lasted a little over 6.5 hours on one charge in our battery performance tests. Its 1.2-GHz Core Solo U1400 processor combined with 1GB of DDR2-400 SDRAM produced a relatively low WorldBench 6 Beta 2 score of 32. (That score, however, matched the mark of a Fujitsu LifeBook P7230 equipped with the same processor.) The VGN-TXN15P/B seemed zippy enough to handle e-mail, word processing, and surfing the Internet, but not much more.
