SonyStyle US posted TX model on their website with all specs, etc.
What interesting - the antenna is no longer integrated in the LCD, but sticks out as a phone one.

I wish there was an option to not have the antenna integrated. I wonder if it would cost less. Cingular’s $80/month for less bandwidth than Verizon’s EVDO is not worth it at all.

As my brother would say, that’s why god made pliers. :twisted:

Sonystyle preorders are showing available on or about Oct. 25.  Expensive!

I think I will be holding onto my T250 at least until the Sony 1.8” hard drives increase to at least 5400 RPM.

Yeah me too, I think I’ll stick with my T250P with 1gb ram until Sony releases a new T series that actually is worth upgrading to.

Look at their trademark down below that says, “like.no.other.” 
 

That alone explains their price hike. 

Premium Colors at 2.6G and 3G?

Insane.

I might consider upgrading my T350 but at this pricing models… VIVA FUJISTU

Actually, I misspoke.  The cheapest DL DVDR is $2299.00 with XP Pro.  XP Home should be in line, price wise, with the T150/T250 (upon their launch) at 2199.00 (hundred bucks cheaper).  Come to think of it, Sony pulled this same cr*p when they launched the Ts (i.e., not offering the cheaper XP Home version).  Still this is a nice upgrade from the TR, not too sure for someone coming from a T250.

At this price range it is not a wise upgrade for anyone.

Compared to the T350

same EDGE

same CPU

same drive

same memory

same dvdrw

different casing and a price hike..

sony - bulshit.like.no.other

errr what about the screen size increas to 11.1 and the new led backlight which improves battery life?

so do you think there will be price drops on T series laptops soon, and maybe T series in the outlet/refurb category?  I hope so, because I wanna sell my TR3AP1 for a T250P

better keep the TR3AP

You wont get more than 1200$ for it.

less weight, pretty casing.  i.like.it.  i think it gets close to the x505 w/out losing the drive.  and it’s priced about right.  that’s around the cost sony has always priced their stuff.  i still think their design is like no other.

You call 0.28lbs less weight? It is roughly 9% weight loss compared to the T. That’s around 100 grams. If anyone has an Ericsson T610, it is about its weight. TX less less battery life with the standard battery than the T. Pretty casing…. That’s about it

TX Series

• Estimated Battery Life:
4 hours up to 7.5 hours
• Weight:
2.76 lbs. with standard battery (weight is approximate and may vary) 
330g (rated for 7800mAh)

T Series

• Estimated Battery Life:
4 hours up to 9 hours
• Weight:
3.04 lbs. with standard battery (weight is approximate and may vary)
335g (rated for 7560mAh)

Assuming that CNET uses the same tests between laptops:

Sony T250 - 385 minutes
Sony TX - 396 minutes
Sony T350 - 366 minutes

For folks who put a premium on weight, any change (towards lighter) is good.  I don’t know if this model is good enough to warrant a change from my 250 though.

I am wondering how the LED-based screen is.  CNET doesn’t seem to be impressed with it.

The only difference between T250 and T350 is the drive, which has the same consumption and the Edge Modem, which is OFF by default. I have no idea how they came out with these results, but I had a T250 and I currently have a T350, and believe me, they show exactly the same specs for the battery up to the minute.

CNET is about who pays the most and most of the time they pull specs and stats outta their behinds.
