Sony Vaio TR3A Laptop
Sony Vaio TR3A Review:
The TR3A Vaio is the perfect travel companion. It features Sony's XBRITE display, strong battery life, a DVD burner, and all the wireless necessities. It even sports an integrated webcam.
The TR3A contains the full Centrino package complete with 802.11g Wi-Fi capability. The excellent software bundle includes Click to DVD for making movies, as well as Network Smart Capture. This online video and photo-sharing system works together with the TR3A's Motion Eye Webcam, perfect for those last minute videoconference meetings.
Because the TR3A doesn't have its own video card with dedicated VRAM, it's not well-suited to demanding gaming apps, but you will enjoy incredible DVD playback on the XBRITE screen. The VGA port is conveniently located on the side of this model and is perfect for presentations on the go. Sony stocks this gem with plenty of RAM and it's upgradable to 1GB if the need arises. Because of the notebooks small form factor, it's understandable that there are only two USB ports, and the Memory Stick slot is great for quick back-ups.
Overall, if you're looking for a slim, light, head-turning, well-equipped ultraportable--the TR3A is a tough act to follow.
