Review Excerpts – Click on publication links below to read full reviews<\/h2>\n

Note: The reviews listed below are for the Sony VAIO VGN-TX670P<\/a> which is almost identical to the TX770P (the TX770P is the successor to the TX670P, and offers a faster CPU, larger HDD, and a Secure Digital Media reader.<\/strong><\/p>\n

HardwareCentral.com<\/a> – December 2005 – 4 out of 5 stars – As you can tell, we like the Vaio TX670P a lot; it’s a terrific productivity solution for swank, jet-setting execs. That said, it gets another four- instead of HardwareCentral’s rare five-star review score mainly because of the swank factor: The notebook plus your first year’s Cingular data subscription equals $3,480, which is painfully pricey in this age of affordable laptops. But that’s not the heroic Sony engineers’ fault.<\/em><\/p>\n

PC Magazine<\/a> – September, 2005 – 4\/5 Stars – The Sony VAIO VGN-TX670P is an excellent laptop in terms of performance, design, and innovation.<\/em><\/p>\n

CNET Reviews<\/a> – September, 2005 – 8.1\/10 – Editor’s Choice – Though we don’t recommend it for heavy-duty computing or gaming, the VAIO VGN-TX670P can easily handle the standard productivity tasks of the typical business traveler, including in-flight DVD viewings.<\/em><\/p>\n
