VAIO TX37GP (Visceral)


Visceral: It was sleek and beautiful as well as visually pleasing. The keyboard was the first thing that caught my eye, it looked very different from all the other laptops that I have seen. It had this futuristic look to it, finished with a silver glean to every key. It appeared very sleek and gave a feeling of sophistication at the first look. It also had the look of a lean and mean machine, packed with all the powers of processing in a small outer shell.

Behavioural: The battery life was extremely good, clocking in at 9.5 hours per charge. However the drawback was that the keyboard space was a bit cramp because of small size (11 inch widescreen). It should be perfect for ladies though. The processor wasn’t exactly fast, being a ULV 1.2G and it wasn’t even duo core. There was external graphics accelerator, which was a big no-no to me. However, the weight factor was a definitive plus. The entire package weighed in at 1.2kg, with the battery plugged in. Do also note that the dvd writer is built in as well, unlike the Acer ultra portables.

Reflective: Touch of sophistication and it does provide a bit of a “wow” factor to anyone near you because of its sheer size and design. Compared to the X505, the TX series does not really turn heads as much. After purchase, one might feel that it is quite value for money, with the cheapest variant going at S$2799.
