LaptopLogic.com – December 2005 – 4 out of 5 – The Sony VAIO TX represents the ultimate portable computer without sacrificing on functionality. At almost half the size and weight of most laptops, this computer includes a nice array of ports, communication options, and built-in multimedia functionality…..This is one of the most battery efficient laptops we’ve ever tested and perhaps the best in the market.

LAPTOP Magazine – December 2005 – 4.5 out of 5 stars At $2,299, the Sony VAIO TX650P/B costs considerably more than slightly larger 12.1-inch and 13-inch widescreen ultraportables, but this micro machine rewards your investment with long battery life and a featherweight design. It’s the new executive status symbol.

LaptopLogic.com – November 2005 – Mentioned in their 2005 Holiday Gift Guide.

LAPTOP Magazine – October 2005 – 4.5 out of 5 stars – “LAPTOP BEST BUY” – this micro machine rewards your investment with long battery life and a featherweight design.
